Why do they keep their forms looking fresh and young? It’s totally missing the point. They aren’t rot maxing or cultivating the scent of carrion. It’s like they don’t even like undeath or something. They powder their faces with the souls of unborn children to stay looking “good”. They actually panic when their jaw falls off. I don’t understand it.
Women can’t be wizards. They just can’t. Even if they try their very hardest, they will never be a real wizard.
>>98255238good thing liches don't have to be wizards, nogames
Whenever a female necromancer reanimates something they always have to shout “hey guys look what I just did!”.
>>98255246They will just let anyone be a lich now? Damn, this must be a consequence of DEI hires. How my beloved magocratic nation has fallen…
>>98255226I like it best when you get a little pretty woman and a little rotting monster in the same package.
>>98255226Vanity expresses itself in different ways.I once knew a male lich who gilded his bones. Just coated himself in a thick layer of pure gold. Told everyone it was to eternally preserve his form in a metal that wouldn't corrode, but the dumb fucker was leaving a trail of gold dust everywhere he went like a goddamn pixie.Another Lich, this one the ancient empress of a desert society, embalmed herself with a beeswax-based material she had to reapply daily to keep herself from drying up and being mistaken for a mummy. The stupid girl ended up looking like a rubber sex doll.
>>98255269>Wight Power Lich organizing his skeleton horde by phrenological principles
>>98255226You're missing a key difference. They're undead forever for them. I'm in it for the research.
>>98255269Vassaliches have been around since the 90s
>>98255408Not true liches
>>98255269No, priests can also achieve lichdom. The warriors are called graveknights and their fucking soul objects are harder to destroy completely than a phylactery, if you can believe that shit. Hide a greave or a gauntlet in some other tomb and they're just fucking dandy, or hide both gauntlets in different fucking dungeons....fuckers.
>>98255311>Wight Power LichThis is really good. Especially because power liches were a real thing in HOMM.
>>98255226It would be rather normal behaviour.Imagine there is actually no soul to put anywhere after death.Imagine lichdom like ai-agent inside phylactery trained on original user behaviour. It would do all things user did in their daily live. Female lich would try to preserve her appearance, try to look good, attempt to scream when her jaw falls off, but in the end it's all just an imitation of emotions, goals and wishes. Undeads are sad and creepy things, animated monuments of human hubris. Robots made of dead flesh and magic with liches being exceptionally fine-tuned.
>>98255423Not true liches
>>98255226Traditional games?
>>98255466Faggot?
>>98255446The priests are definitely liches. What do you think a phylactery actually is, numb skull? check with your researcher pal.
>>98255476Not true liches
>>98255488Damn. Hey, someone kick the demi-lich. It's stuck on repeat again.
>>98255435>HOMM I realized it as I hit post. Recently played 3 again for the first time in decades. Its not as much fun as I remember but the monsters and battles are were cool.
What are liches supposed to look like?
>>98256037Not hot babes that’s for sure
>>98255226It’s called vanity. For some there’s no purpose in living forever if they can’t look good while doing it.
>>98255226All liches are rotting corpses held together by forbidden magic.Women just tend to invest more time into illusion related magic to look young and beautiful.Trust me when I say this as a former adventurer.The female liches who aren’t caring about their corpse looks are the ones to be worried about. Not that you should ever let your guard down but you should be wary.>t. Got necrosis’d in the dong >potion seller is yet to allow me to buy his strongest potion to fix it
>>98255226That's a Death Knight from WoW.
>>98256022Horn of the Abyss is an amazing fan pack expansion. But it was made by Russians so the updater for it will make you feel like you are installing a rootkit.
>>98255307Stop posting and work on your art
>>98255247And they take an orb of their own face in front of the reanimated thing.
>>98257397This is a shitpost thread on /tg/
>>98255471Nogames?
>>98257513Shit covered dick eater?
>>98257528Why do you post on a board about games if you dont play any?
>>98255226Possibly weird take:I think that if a lich looks undead then they're an imperfect lich.The highest form of lich would wrap around to looking alive again, aging backwards as their power increases until they hit their magical and physical peak.
