Lich- Lichs are full combat attack mages. Lichs don't use mp but its own hp to cast spells. They can't cast vigor and other heal spells or else they be god... Lichs heals by regeneration, and draining hp from his/her enemy. Lichs also have natural ac and when you reach lvl 7, they can only be hit with magical weapons while being attacked by another player. Lichs also have built in resist-magic in which they repel some of the damage with their evil aura. one drawback of lichs is that they are weak against physical damage. Lichs are easy to play with once you get the hang of stun cast and they get more hp then a mage gets mp. Although the lich casts every strongly, they can only wield certain weapons, mainly for thrust and pole. If you are thinking about lichs, keep in mind that many of the mobs/perms can avoid full stun and are r-stun until certain lvls.

        Stats for Lichs - Well, for the Lich, piety doesn't do anything, instead con takes its place. So max out on con, intel and some strength. I personally think it would be a lot easier to buy a spiderclaw dirk (50k at Igmoo shop) and kill some market/crabs. Once you get to lvl 7, you can start killing perms, but you should probably get blood red at this time. Lilacs is a good place to get evil. Easy to hit, +wind and they drop pretty good gold. Once you get to lvl 10, go out and explore.
