Additional Information

• The avatar can become a lich, as can some named monsters.
• Sometimes Tlosh will assist the transformation.
• Liches are bloodless, and do not eat.

Tips and Strategies

• Silver weapons and fire attacks are useful against liches, as are resistance to cold, poison, and shock.
• This is the only undead that leaves a corpse: a tempting prize, if you dare the vulnerability to silver.
