Ambitious magi who turn to lichdom to escape death. They've lost much of the strength and vitality they had before, not to mention they're now as attractive as corpses can be, but in exchange, they retain their wisdom, and their magical power grows stronger than it had in life. | Ambitious magi who turn to lichdom to escape death.

Liches are an extreme caster archetype with excellent starting attributes in mana, will and magic, but poor in just about everything else. Lich has the parameters of Physical Damage Reduction and Elemental Damage Reduction and a modest bonus to DV instead of low vitality, | Liches are an extreme caster archetype with excellent starting attributes in mana, will and magic, but poor in just about everything else. Lich has the parameters of Physical Damage Reduction and Elemental Damage Reduction and a modest bonus to DV instead of low vitality. Given that the Physical Damage Reduction and Elemental Damage Reduction calculations are quite simply additive, the mani and kizuami artifacts give you somewhat better durability for your Life (especially against magic). Compared to a fairy, a lich trades speed and charisma for better casting capabilities; however, the problems of early-game are made even worse with a lich's low carry capacity, survivability and ability to gather allies without penalty. A lich's low physical stats make it unsuited for just about any role except a magical one; a player aiming to create a hybrid class should pick eulderna for defense and nefu for offense. | ||
Liches have resistant to poison, nerve, dark, and Nether elements due to their undead feet, but are vulnerable to the fire. While poison and nerve-element attacks are rarer, dark and nether resistances are more valuable. While fire damage is quite common, fire resistance to compensate for a lich's weaknesses can easily be found on scale or dragonscale gear. | Liches have resistant to poison, nerve, dark, and Nether elements due to their undead feet, but are vulnerable to the fire.
