So, the effects of lichdom:
Requirements
- Once per week, a sentient soul must be consumed to sustain Sage’s lich form. A soul can be consumed by making a DC15 charisma check on a sentient creature that has died within the last hour.
- Up to 5 souls can be consumed in advance.
- For every week that he goes without consuming a soul, a level of exhaustion is gained. Consuming a soul restores one level of exhaustion.
- If maximum exhaustion is reached, he becomes a demilich.
Benefits
- Charisma now becomes 24.
- Sage’s unwavering thirst for secret knowledge means that once per day, he can cast the spell Legend Lore without expending a spell slot.
- As an action, can use Paralyzing Touch:
Paralyzing Touch. Melee Spell Attack: +12 to hit, reach 5 ft., one creature. Hit: 10 (3d6) cold damage. The target must succeed on a DC 18 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
- Once per day, can use legendary resistance to succeed at a saving throw he would otherwise fail.
- If Sage dies, his soul returns to his phylactery and a new body is formed in 1d10 days.
Negatives
- If Sage’s phylactery is destroyed, he becomes mortal again.
- Constitution is reduced to 10.
- People do not react kindly to undead creatures in most situations. In his undisguised form, most people will treat him as hostile.
