Encountering Ancient Lich

105 Traits • Skeletal • Undead • Bend Reality: Can test Magic instead of Physical. • Flow of Magicka: As a reaction to a spell cast, the character may make a -20 Mysticism skill test. If their degrees of success exceed the spell level of the spell being cast, then the effect of the spell is negated. • Master of Magicka: The character can overload a spell with the overload attribute even if they restrain that spell. • Dark Sight: A creature with this trait can see and act normally in areas with dim or no light. • Immunity (Frost) • Resistance (Shock, Normal Weapons, 3) • Telepathy (3): Characters with this trait can communicate with others telepathically. They are capable of “broadcasting” A full sentence to a maximum number of characters equal to their WB within a number of meters equal to one hun- dred times their WB. They must have line of sight to the character to whom they are broadcasting, unless the target character has this trait as well. Characters with this trait can make a Perception test as a free action to attempt to locate other characters with this trait within their broadcast range, though this test can be opposed by a Willpower test if a character wishes to remain hidden. • Thought Caster: The character does not need to speak or have hands free in order to cast spells. Ancient Liches are powerful beyond measure. They are often relics of bygone eras; the most powerful necromancers of their age who used their talents to cheat death itself. They are often reclusive, keeping to themselves as they pursue the higher mysteries of the universe or the interplay between life and death itself. To defend themselves and this pursuit of knowledge Ancient Liches will raise entire legions of undead to serve their will. Under the right set of calamitous circum- stances they may even send these undead armies to war against the living of Nirn to see their insatiable appetite for power appeased, offering GMs a perfect villain for their campaign. GMs who wish to use these powerful undead should outfit them with powerful spells and abilities beyond those sug- gested here to ensure they are appropriately dangerous foes for a party to encounter. Skeletons are the reanimated bones that many necromancers and other dark magics can create and command. Usually found in or around ancient ruins or guarding a necromancer’s lair, they can be potent foes against the average adventurer and pose a serious threat to untrained combatants. More experienced adventurers should have no problem disposing of them, but they tend to have numbers on their side. Additionally, due to
