"A mage possessing a ring of the dead, as well as a great deal of magical power... Or once they did."
Overview[]
They have access to a lot of magic types, including Draconic Magic and Necromancy. The most powerful generic caster class, but also the slowest. In the Lawful and Neutral storylines, Lich is the only way a unique unit can have access to Necromancy. Despite its slowness, this class is powerful; it has very high casting stats. Creating one takes time and effort, so you should prepare units that are going to remain Liches for a long time, to make the effort worthwhile. It pays off to select a unique unit with a low RT, to mitigate the Lich's slowness
Can be Used by: Humans
How to Unlock: Using a Ring of the Dead on Floor 41 of the Palace of the Dead will transform a Human unit into a Lich.
(Note - named generic units like Sara and Voltaire cannot be made into a Lich, but Unique and most Semi-Unique Characters can)
