  • I feel like a world where people stumble around every corner tapping surfaces with with 10 foot poles has sufficiently high fatality to make the Lich a rarity.

    Let’s say you start with 8 DEX, to reach 30 with 1 book would take 1100 years. With two books, 600 years. Run of the mill wizards can’t do the build.

    But yeah, it’s just a concept, so you can give it whatever sort of character or background you like.


  • Reminds me of a Lich concept in DnD I saw a while back where the Lich owned a couple of Manual of Quickness of Action, which raise dexterity by 2 but can only be used once every century. So the lich read them every century to max out Dexterity at 30. Thats a Modifier for AC.

    The name was Messorum Praecucurrit which is latin for “He Ran Ahead of the Harvest”

    It has base 40 feet/turn movement, Mobile feat: +10 ft, Longstrider spell: +10 ft., optionally unarmored movement for either +25 or +10, Boots of Speed: Double speed, Haste spell: Double speed, and can use Wind Walk if needed so max 340 without dash or wind walk. If they use Dash with Bonus Action, action, and haste action then it’s another x4 modifier so 1360 feet/round, and if a round is 6 seconds then that’s 226.666 feet per second or actually even less if you consider the round split between first party taking their turn and second party taking theirs then it becomes 453.333 which isn’t close to mach one but it’s not bad for feet on the ground until somebody invents a gun.

    Wears his phylactery on a gold chain around his neck, doesn’t give a Fuck.

    If they fire an arrow at him, have them roll dice as if it even matters, then compare numbers and go on a long tangent about how the arrow travels 8 feet in 0.04s at which point the party has to roll a DEX and PER check to see lich stand up and casually walks at 210 feet per second or 8.4 ft in 0.04 seconds to place the arrow gently back into the archer’s quiver, then sit back down. If they fail the check, they blinked and missed it. Party has no idea what his stats or abilities are and have to figure it out what is happening via passing a check or guessing.

    Lich is a passive, true nuetral, doesn’t kill the party, gives them each some sort of boon and sends them on their way, because you don’t live to 2000 by making enemies. Basically runs an adventurer casino where they make it to the end and receive loot or they become loot for the next party.










  • The rice is about 6 us measuring cups worth, and 1 cup is enough for 2 people to have a meal after it soaks up a bunch of water (plus a bit little vodka and sugar for taste).

    The Flour can make several loaves of bread as well, it’s about 5000 Calories for that bag without considering oil added for a nice focaccia or butter and milk for a classic brioche.

    If each person gets this then it can be sufficient last a week or two, but I assume it was supplementary in nature.
