Lich path

[diegentarodie]

I'm trying to unlock Lich mythic path. I understood there is a Wand to give to someone, but the real question is: what is the right aligment? Only chaotic evil can take this path?

evil, but you dont have to be it when you start down the line you will become it thru quests or choices. its actually neutral evil but the evil is the important part.

Ah ok! Thank you!

Lawful Evil for the Lich

Ok. I was thinking about a Sylvan Sorcerer as build. Best race?

Half-Elf with Elven Magic heritage and Racial bonus on Charisma. Will give you spell pen, and maxed Charisma.
Note all demons have spell resistance and that is why you need Spell Pen feats, but you can also get spells that are not affected by Spell Resistance, like buffs, conjuration and mythic spells. If you make do with these limited spells then any race that gives you racial CHA bonus is good.
And one thing Demons are immune to electricity damage.

I'm thinking about Dhampir Cruoromancer (wizard archetype for dhampir) and be Gebian Necromancer, I think those 3 things (Race, archetype and background) fit Lich's theme perfectly, you could be Nagash lite ( Nagash is fantasy Warhammer character known for creating vampires and Lich like beings)

Thanks!

I've rolled lich 3 times so far, each time the only restriction I've run into is to not be "good". You can be a lich while neutral or evil. I dont know about Lawful or chaotic, I started as Neutral Good on every lich play through then just pick "evil" options to change alignment to evil. Dont even need all the evil choices, just enough to make it to neutral (as soon as you pass the part where he asked you to not be good you can be good again lol).

Awesome! This aligment stuff!

I don't think any of the mythic paths have any lockout of any kind, however, they do push the character towards an alignment due to dialogue options when you pick them. This means while it is possible to be a paladin following the lich path, it will not be long before you lose your 'lawful good' alignment

You won’t be able to go through with the lich transformation if you’re not evil.

Ya but you get a special quest that will 100% make you evil so it’s still a player choice to attempt.

The Lich path is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be...unnatural.

The mythic paths will make me replay this game more times! And with the mods it will be easier. I'd like to try them all!
