>Could you love a Lich?
Maybe. If the lich either took good care of herself and embalmed her corpse so she stayed mostly intact, or if she's fully skeleton-mode, I think I could.

But the icky half-rotten version of a lich would just be too gross for romance.

Liches ain't shit but bones and crypts.

Depends on the hatemurder level required to be a lich. I just don't think I could hang with a serial killer or whatnot.

But I was thinking more from an aesthetic perspective. A bleached and polished skeleton wearing flowing black robes is basically /fa/'s ideal.

I smell an adventure seed.

• An attractive nubile female dissapears every month or so.

• Body remains found are only skeletons or decayed "flesh suits", but always separate.

• Some sick bastard is making the suits for his lich girlfriend to wear so he can get his rocks off.

>>27509610
Sort of.
While the undead aren't automaticly horrible people the lichdom ritual requires doing horrible things so most liches are horrible people.

>>27510096
I feel like it would be a lot easier, cleaner, and less undignified for the lich if you just got some sort of fleshlight type of apparatus and attached it to her pelvis for sexytime.

You could also have a Lich that's gradually gotten obsessed with the sensation of flesh.

"Being surrounded by that warmth, that sensation of being, I find myself missing it."

The disappearances would be getting less frequent as the Lich perfects his/her techniques for preserving the suits.

"I really don't see what the problem is; 5, maybe 10 more tries and I'll be able to keep the suits alive indefinitely. Then I'll only have to replace them for wear and tear. Given the rate at which humans breed it's totally sustainable harvesting."

I also kind of like the idea of fighting the lich, defeating it and rescuing a captive. Someone makes a spot check and attacks the prisoner. Splitting her face open to reveal an animated skeleton with glowing eyes. "Damn it; this was my best one"

>>27510387

>>27511317
> you cant have her as a skeleton
Wow what a shitty fucking shitpile of a fucking game.

>>27511317
To advance her stroy, true. However, you can simply refuse to advance her story.

Of all the waifus, she has the largest variety of final forms: hot chick, that same hot chick but a vampire, a warforged hot chick, or a warforged hot chick with the human hot chick's skin sewn onto her.

Plus, picking her gets you favor with the skelebros, who are the best faction. She is easily the best waifu.

Do not be fooled by the dorfwife's massive tits, she is annoying as shit. Also, she puts away her tits when you finish her storyline, which is annoying as fuck, because her tits were the only reason I married her in the first place. I fed her to the demon for that.

>>27511317
Just don't turn her into the other things. When she asks for help turning into something else, ignore her ass. Bam, skeleton wife forever.

>>27511426
This tactic can also be used to insure dorfwife leaves her tits out.

The undead are the religious conservative faction, and her storyline has her stray from their ways and beliefs. The change in her attire is symbolic of this. The dwarf and elf wives do the opposite, starting off dressing slutty then becoming more conservative as they become the rulers of their people. Lizardbitch remains Lizardbitch forever, because she's Lizardbitch.

We were discussing D&D alignment in my party, and how it consists of absolute morality, not logical ethics, and the example of how a Lich cannot be good even if it becomes a lich for a completely benevolent reason. This one girl in our party was like, "I don't see why you couldn't just be a good lich."
"Because in D&D morality, the act of creating a phylactery is by definition a heinously evil act."
"What about a heinously good act?"

Certainly, a Lich makes a better friend than a Vampire: able to hang out during the day having fun scaring the fuck out of people as a skellington and not constantly fantasizing about drinking your blood; for these reasons, a Vampire would make a better lover.
>Would totally befriend lich.

If I was a wizard in a fantasy realm I wouldn't mind becoming a lich so long as it didn't involve murdering babies or anything like that. I mean the perks are awesome, live forever, can't be killed permanently unless phylactery is destroyed, no need to eat, sleep or poop, insane magical power...

About the only cons I can think of are you freak people out because you are after an undead floating skeleton and no sexytimes with the ladies. Of course not having genitalia or hormones you might just not have a sex drive which really might be for the better.

>>27513434
You are a powerful wizard. Polymorph self, plow babes. Its a no brainer

>>27513481
Hmm this begs the question why don't all liches just permanently polymorph themselves into fleshy bodies and have all the benefits with none of the drawbacks? Or for that matter why can't they just create a spell that keeps their body from rotting away in the first place.

>>27513535
The desire to have a fleshy body is a fleshy desire. With no flesh, desires change.

And that spell is Gentle Repose

>>27510173
The question isn't, "Can it be done;" it's, "Could YOU do it?"

>>27513535
Perhaps maintaining the self polymorph requires an amount of concentraion. If you cast a big spell it could break for example.
I wrote a story about a lich and she just uses it as a disguise

What if the lich was crazy thinking she was still flesh and bones, er flesh and meat?

>>27513535
What do you think the gods are?

Gentle repose only works on the dead not the undead.

>>27513743
No idea but I don't think it comes into play since you would be recasting polymorph at least once a day so you could just transform into a young person each time.

An even better option would be get a feat that gives you spontaneous metamagic or a metamagic rod then cast a persistent shapchange on yourself once a day. You can now not only look like a fleshy human all day but change into almost anything you want every six seconds.

Have you ever been sick with hot sweats or had a fever where you were too weak to do anything?

That's what happens when you fuck her with a spiritual condom of fucking on, she rides you, because Ghost rider.

The shape of her sex organs and living female aesthetics is shaped by the flames, and her penance stare will make you additionally feel the vaginas of the women you've scorned.

Usage of tentacles are optional.

There, I've detailed sex with flaming skeletons.

Actually, fuck it, as long as one sees the aesthetics for human genitalia of any object, they can fuck it.

Liches, for example, have that thing where after images of their selves when alive flash in their color of aura so you'd have that flash in and out as you pound it, or like with ghost rider, the aura provides the female outline.

In other words, if you want to fuck a real-life skeleton without feeling like you're into necrophillia, pay for a sexy realdoll with transparent skin, save for eyes, lips, tits, nipples, and vag in more cloudy shades to be made around a skeleton of your choosing.

Step 1: Draw Fem Skeleton Layer, mounted on male

Step 2 : Draw what will act as the female aesthetic outline from carefully drawn flames forming outlines for breast and nipple to an actual ghostly female figure faint, flashing in and out with thrusts to simple faded barrier like outlines, acting as a shader to tell skeleton rank

Step 3: Daw Male Layer

Step 4: Draw additional bonus wombshot layer

Self-sacrifice is usually said to be the most benevolent and altruistic act a person can do. (Though that raises questions of whether true altruism is possible).

So sacrificing the luxury of flesh to save a town/city/planet, allows you to be transformed into an undead skeleton horror, whose basic instincts want him to breath, eat, defecate and feel, yet is incapable of doing so.

Hell, I damaged my radial nerve in my arm over the summer, and for a while lost sensation in parts of it. It was the most uncanny thing not being able to feel with it.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have a body that you can't feel with. It would be like controlling a machine.

Polymorph isn't some kind of healing spell that you have full control of, it recognizes what kind of physical state you were in before you morphed.
Say you lost your arm and an eye in a battle, sure changing into a dragon would make you incredibly powerful and awed in all the land, but you still trip every time you tried to walk and your eye would still be missing.

So you'd think that even if lizardshit Mchooman polymorphed into a human fleshy or not described they'd suddenly stand there, face shorter and probably pretty ugly to the lizards standards.

>>27524365
From a purely utilitarian perspective, human sacrifice is morally justified to create a lich. The sacrificial victim had a finite number of years of life ahead of him or her, but by taking this life from him or her, a lich is created with a theoretically infinite lifespan.

It's a net win for the world.

>>27524397
Actually not wizards this time, dragons.

Dragonborn are just horribly mutated hybrids between a dragon and whatever race that wanted to be more dragony. This is why they got tits, cause in the end they are horrible freaks of nature that are every weird debirth fetishists wet dream sprinkled with some transformation. At least they are in the DnD franchise.

>>27524423
dont forget that you could sacrifice a terminally ill person on the verge of death. boom morally justified.

>>27524457
3.5e Dragonborn are literally furry fanfiction. 4e Dragonborn aren't half-dragons, they're a servitor race of warriors.

>>27524423

>>27524472

Actually, it's the worst idea ever, as destroying one lich destroys the other's phylactery. I think you need at least 3 liches to make it work.

No it doesn't. The lich regenerates, presumably with all its inherent phylacteryness, within, what was it, 1d8 days?

>>27524947
well if he dies he gets warpd to the others side, but yeah I think it works better for a tragic romance, man and woman become each others phylacteries then must be forever apart except for a few brief moments when they die, held together by the fact that they KNOW their love is alive out there somewhere.

I'm not sure it works that way, anon.

>>27525214
Well then how does it work?
If you have a phylactery that returns to existence after being destroyed, does it or does it not return to being your phylactery?
What do the rules about creating a phylactery have to say about this?

Can love bloom from a phylactory?

>>27525243
I honestly don't know, though I doubt it retains its phylactitude upon being recreated.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about rules can shed some light on the persistence of phylactation.

>>27525332

If all else fails, you can subject a Warforged Truenamer (of your creation, of course) to your phylacterization, or at least get him to guard it.

Nope. Wish can't do something that powerful and complex.

>>27525612
since when? I have seen wishes make dead people gods and fleshlights succubi. WHY IS THIS SO DIFFICULT!?!? but seriosusly source of your thoughts?

>>27525652
Considering it should be, "I wish I WERE a lich," it apparently is.

>>27525689
Wish like that and you have a faint recollection of being a lich during your teenage years. You should word it like "I wish to be a lich from now on" to be less fucked.

>>27525689
Not if you want to currently be a lich.

>>27525722
>>27525729
>implying "was" isn't also past-tense
If you're going to fuck yourself over with a poorly worded wish, you might as well be grammatically correct about it.

In a D20 modern style game, my character was on fairly good terms with his ancestor, a lich. Ezekiel was a wizard from colonial times, and despises what debauchery and filth the world of the living has become, but continues to show dedication to family. Stop talking to my character for a while when he moved in with his girlfriend.

>>27525799
No, it should be, 'I to be a lich from now on.'

• Wish's material components cost 25,000 gp. The ritual for Lichdom costs 120,000 gp. No competent DM is going to allow that.

• The only thing in the entry for Wish that would allow it is the one that reads: "You may try to use a wish to produce greater effects than these, but doing so is dangerous. (The wish may pervert your intent into a literal but undesirable fulfillment or only a partial fulfillment, at the GM's discretion.)". So basically, it's a Monkey Paw. You should end up with a Forsaken Lich at best.

>>27525833
You forgot to mention the part that actually matters at all in your whole argument:

>When a wish duplicates a spell with a material component that costs more than 10,000 gp, you must provide that component (in addition to the 25,000 gp diamond component for this spell).

So yeah, while you could lich someone using wish, it isn't any less expensive, but it'll be more convinient, much like those little packets of juice with a straw.

>>27510423
In the book "Under The Dome" by Stephen King there is a character who has anger issues and terrible migraines.

He ends up killing two girls and throwing their corpses in a closet cold enough to slow down the deterioration.

A few days later he returns and sleeps on their cold corpses like a flesh bed, the coldness soothing his migraines so that he can actually sleep.

Just saying if you want an insane villain make him have some fascination with corpses or flesh

>>27525891
Does the human sacrifice count as a material component? How much does a human sacrifice cost? It might not be that much more convenient at all.

>>27525926
It'd be more convinient than preparing the ritual and having the target unwilling to conduct the ritual when you can just wish it while rubbing some dead cock on the target's cheek.

>>27525959
and thus I have a new fetish, forced necrofilia turning into undeadnecrophilia

Don't forget the cock. Or the chicken, whichever you prefer. Or both. I don't judge you, but I have to warn that using Wish for something like that MIGHT not work as you intended. Wishes have that air to them

>>27526007
>Not now ladies, I've got a headache, let's just cuddle.

and the BBEG fucks the lich who is going all jeepers creepers.

If I were DMing I would make it where the party tracks down the guy, he babbles some stuff about "you'll never understand what true love is" then they fight and he dies

then after he's dead the lich wails and comes into view, all rotting and sinewy and all, screeching out her lovers name while reanimating his corpse to help her murder the party.

Well that's not strictly speaking relevant, as I said before, it's more convinient to wish someone to be a lich than to try unwilling person to become a lich without the wish.

Not really. The journey to become a lich is different for each soul, the mind controller wouldn't know how to do it and wouldn't be able to control the spirit. Also, it takes years to learn the ritual and the ritual is unique for each soul. One really must be willing to journey that path or be Wished as a lich. Most rules state that the person must be willing.

Can one be (temporarily) polymorphed into a lich?

>Could you be friends with a Lich?

>Could you love a Lich?

>>27527274

Didn't I read somewhere Paladins can be Liches?

>>27527471
no way, ritual of lichdom is definitely forbidden magic

Alright, so I have two ideas for a lich:

First one is your standard lich. He's sitting in a dungeon doing lich things and is basically what happens when Farnsworth gets access to /tg/. The party comes, kills him, and retrieves his phylactery to a local lord or something.

But it turns out, the Lich is "good," and was tasked long ago with keeping a magical mcguffith safe. But instead of giving it off to an apprentice or something, he just said "Screw it, I'm going to guard it myself," and became a lich.

Second one is a Pirate Lich:

He's a Pirate captain who wanted to be the Immortal King of Pirates. So he found a mage and, working together, they ascended him to Lichdom. He now goes around the seas, looting and killing and raising dead to add to his armada of ships. His phylactery is his ship, which is a mass of bones held together in the shape of a ship, or something.

Pirate themed Lich. That's the bottom line

>>27527686
>Pirate themed Lich

>>27527686

can I please play in that campaign?

>>27527735

>>27527780
Actually I'm DMing a pathfinder campaign in which the players will soon be tasked with breaking up a slave trading ring in Korvosa.

I wanted to have the traders stuffing these slaves into boats and sending them to an unknown place but I wanted a more serious plot behind it than just sending the slaves to market.

I think these slavers will be selling slaves to a pirate lich.

>>27527780

?

What I want to know is, what asshole decided that Liches are default some variety of evil? The oldest lich myth basically went as follows:

>do magic
>be really good at magic
>decide death is for the gays
>put soul in thing
>???
>lich

I imagine its just the skeletal visage and being forced into dungeon or cave for so long, shunned by humanity, on top of the badass magic ability that makes them lean towards evil

>>27528111
>>27528135

My point is, statistically there would have to be good liches. I mean, they would have to understand that they can't go out in public looking like they do, but they shouldn't have expected that anyway. The masses just aren't going to accept what is essentially an uberwizard capable of telling death to fuck right the hell off in the form of a spooky skeleton.

>>27509610
I like lichs, if only for the really, really good BBEG material. If anyone remembers, Vecna was I believe a lich ascending to demi-godhood and was betrayed at the last minute. So there's that.

But being friends with one or being in love with one would be kind of a weird relationship. Think about it, you're pretty much a skeleton and have no tongue so you wouldn't be able to enjoy your favorite foods anymore. They'd just be watching you eat something all the time, staring at you and taking pleasure from it.
>TFW no more cheesecake, chocolate, Cheetos
>TFW no more pizza

Also, if you have no more nerve endings, you won't be able to touch anything anymore. That means no more rollercoasters, no more cuddling dogs and cats (although, you might wanna avoid dogs anyways since they love to gnaw on bones and shit). There wouldn't even be no more sex for you. How could you feel the love of a woman if you don't have nerve endings, or even the necessary bits for it? it even means no more blowjobs They'd just be there watching you.....

So what would be the best phylactery do you think?

I'd go with a diamond. So uh do you form from the phylactery or near it? Because if you form near it I'd totally put the diamond on/in my staff.

So have any of you actually made yourself a lich? I find the idea of all lichs being evil as ridiculous

>So what would be the best phylactery do you think?

We've discussed this before and /tg/ came up with something very devious: making another lich (or part of him like his femur or whatever) your phylactery.

The result is a pact of two liches (or a ring if more are involved) where a sort of redundancy is established and you have to kill a lich to kill a lich to kill a lich.

>>27528975
Have fun reforming and waking up in a chest

>>27528945
No it's ideal, you could go surfing to get over having your corporeal form destroyed.

>>27528886
I'd probably make it a generic piece of granite or basalt and leave it on the top of a non-volcanic mountain.

>>27529002

That means trusting another Lich or Liches for the remainder of your potentially eternal lives. I consider that to be pure foolishness. You have no idea what your relationship will be like in 5000 years.

>>27529002
We were just arguing about that in this thread.
Can you point to a rule anywhere that says whether or not a phylactery that was destroyed remains your phylactery when it's reformed? Neither of us could, so it would basically be GM discretion, which could go badly.

>>27529061

If it's just two then it's a M.A.D. situation. It could probably work out.

>>27529002
But what if the first lich in the chain of liches dies. Since the first lich had to use a non-lich phylactery does that mean the other liches will perish as well? ( I mean phylactery destruction) and so if the first lich dies without phylactery destruction does that mean the other liches in the chain will die because their phylactery was destroyed. I AM SO CONFUSED

>>27529061
>>27529002
Question: It was my understanding that destroying the phylactery of a lich auto-killed the lich, is this not true?

>>27529121
It is not, at least in D&D and its derivatives. It just means that the lich is mortal until he/she/it makes a new one. Though some traditions allow time to catch up to a lich when their phylactery is destroyed, super-aging, and therefore killing, said lich.

>Can you point to a rule anywhere that says whether or not a phylactery that was destroyed remains your phylactery when it's reformed?

I'm pretty sure you have to remake the phylactery.

• Adventurers kill Lich A. Lich A's right femur was Lich B's phylactery and it has been destroyed.
• Contingency spell alerts Lich B, whose left pinky bone is Lich A's phylactery.
• Lich B takes precautions expecting the adventurers to show up at any moment, maybe even fleeing for he is just bidding for time.
• 1d10 days later Lich A reforms next to Lich B.
• Lich A and Lich B team up to annihilate the adventurers.
• Lich B recreates his phylactery.

>>27529062
I would say no, if the phylactery ever stopped working I would assume that the soul is lost.

>>27529170
Eternal life sure is fucking expensive.

Your gonna be using 125k and 4.5k exp everytime you die if thats the case. I'll just go with the darksteel ingot then thrown to the bottom of the sea.

1. The chain is a circle. There is no first.
2. Phylactery destruction does not instantly kill liches. It just keeps them from respawning. If they make/choose a new phylactery before you kill them the old-fashioned way, they'll be just fine.

Nope. That just makes the Lich 'killable'.

>>27529217
You shouldn't be dying that often.

>a death-defying magical skeleton thing being my friend

That'd be pretty cool. Liches are bitchin, their concept is awesome.

>>27528628
Such superficial reasoning against becoming one with the skellingtons

>>27529121
Depends, but usually the phylactery contains the soul / life of the lich. Breaking it just makes that soul return to his body.
Or something.

>>27529217

Maybe Lich B can charge Lich A for the gp costs? It *was* his fault for letting those meddlesome adventurers destroy him and the phylactery.

It could all be previously agreed on when they make the pact.

>>27529251
Well in what D&D camapign are you going to manage to get not one but 2 liches

>>27529312
also it takes several days for the phylactery to "rebuild" the body of the lich meaning Lich B isn't going anywhere or do anything for 2-12 days.

Okay it's archived upvote it so it doesn't look like you're talking about what lich you'd want to fuck the hardest

What idiot keeps his phylactery in his desk

>What is your opinion on Liches, /tg/?
I don't know any personally, but avoiding death by chosing unlife is an interesting... unlife-choice.

>Could you be friends with a Lich?
I don't discriminate based on gender, race, appearance, social status or vital signs.

>Could you love a Lich?
Same as above don't know any. But i'm a bit of a butt man and i hear skeletons aren't exactly blessed in that regard.

Pick a moon.
Fly to it. You've got the time.
Pick a moon rock as a phylactery.
Bury it on said moon.
Go do assorted lich things.

>>27530220
You missed a step, You also need to get a shitton of moonrocks and enchant them with bullshit so magic detect doesnt home them in on it

>>27530220
>>27530358
You also forgot "Pray to Vecna that the PCs don't decide to play Spelljammer."

>>27509610
do liches posses the ability or capacity to appreciate friendship in the duration of time they have lived? as you age time seems to speed up. for a lich days must seem like seconds

>>27530576
Wasn't there a comic about a moon princess who blinked and the guy she loved was gone in what seemed like an instant? I remember seeing it in some shitty thread on /b/

>>27530576
>as you age time seems to speed up.

it has more to do with experiencing fewer "new things". anything that is routing doesn't exactly require your full attention and your brain goes to cruise control.
those bits of unusal buisness or new things will catch your attention and will probably be the only thing worth remembering during the day.

the older you get the less things worth remembering happen.

so i guess anything out of the unusual (like a close personal relationship) might stick out like a sore thumb in between all the mundane everday stuff in the mind of an immortal.

after a while it might even be the only thing left remembering for them.

>>27530757
>routing
*routine

>>27530757
That might be true for like 300 year old but when you have had a hundred great loves and thousand close friends grow old and die even those relationships hold no more spectacle.

>>27530817
>but when you have had a hundred great loves and thousand close friends

Dude, that's not how you lich. Let me show you how it's done:
>be in love with the sweetest girl
>lose her to a terrible ailment/accident
>compare every other woman i meet to my lost love
>realize i will never be happy again
>spent the rest of my life trying to bring her back
>delve into the dark arts of necromancy
>do unspeakable things in the name of research
>old age creeping up on me
>take precautions to extend my life
>cross to unlife
>finally find the answer in undeath
>bring her back
>she is horrified by what i've become and what i've done to her
>it destroys me, but i put her back to rest after she begs me to set her free
>left alone stuck in undeath, everything i've loved and known is death
>people enter my grave to plunder and steal
>bitter and angry i kill them
>to my surprise i notice how it dulls my pain to inflict it onto others
>start making plans to make the rest of the world feel what i'm feeling
>at last in my suffering i won't be alone

Losing people leaves scars that won't heal. You can only fall in love so many times.

Well, answering the original question: "Could you be friends with a Lich? Could you love a Lich?"
the answer is entirely possible for open minded people. You all seem to assume that "love" equals sex. Love is a mental state that does not necesserily involve/require sex.
Thus, there is no rational reason not to be able to love a lich. Of course, a crazy serial killer lich is another case, but there are people who are attracted to that, too, so that does not eliminate my point.

>mfw my 2000 character post doesn't survive submission for some reason.
>mfw I briefly rewrite the gist of these thoughts.

The Old City is the home of the Necromancers' Guild; the city is prosperous and the guild is not evil. In fact, the guild is dedicated to the greater good by improving the conditions of the living and strongly polices itself.

Initiation takes two years, during which initiates perform menial chores for the rest of the order alongside the mindless skeletons they may one day join. During these two years they are carefully educated by the guild about the price of joining, and given plenty of time to meditate upon this.

At the end of their initiation, they are tested, and those found worthy are given the opportunity to take the oath and join the guild as a novice. In the oath, they surrender themselves completely to the guild: mind, soul and (particularly) body; for, you see, bones of everyone who has sworn the oath are property of the guild, its dead members contractually obliged to serve the living members of the guild in undeath.

Many citizens of the Old City also volunteer their corpses to the guild's crypts in the hopes of serving in death the fine city which served them so well in life, for a great number of jobs are attended to by reanimated skeletons: the constabulary, sentinels, guards, sewer workers, lamplighters, laborers, longshoremen.... Every thankless and odious task is attended to by the bones of the departed.

Joining the NG gives you tremendous boons in life, but the price is eternal servitude after death. For this reason, a disgruntled minority of Old City cremate their dead.
