Changed "he can slay mortals with a mere touch" to "he can put mortals in a paralyzed state of hibernation with a touch, making them seem dead to others", as described of http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/lich.htm Myomoto 19:52, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Early Lichdom

The way it's currently worded, the article gives the impression that liches are immediately transformed into skeletal beings. While most depictions of liches show them as such, it is also mentioned (in the Monster Manual, I believe) that their bodies simply become undead, expanded abilities aside. As they exist ("live" is obviously not quite the right word) for years and years in a state of undeath, their bodies naturally decay into the common walking-corpse appearance. The parts about the poison are also, to my knowledge, not commonly listed in the books.

For that matter, the first two paragraphs of the Ecology paragraph are a bit iffy and could use some references. Between the Monster Manual, Libris Mortis, and other publications, there should be no shortage of sources for information. I'm fascinated by the Undead, but unfortunately, the books are expensive, and I don't have as many as I'd like. If someone could look this up it'd be great; otherwise, I'll try to do some research over the weekend or early next week. Xiphe 23:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
