Description

-----------------------------

This module adds a new mage class specialization called Lich that allows the character to become a powerful necromancer and use spells to drain life and animate dead corpses.

The specialization is available after you get the Blood Mage spec achievement and grants +0. 25 combat health and mana regeneration.

There are 4 spells, the first 2 are mainly based on spiritual damage and drain life from enemies.

With the 3rd spell you can raise up to 3 undead minions from near corpses.

With the last spell you can take the form of a real Lich and enhance many of your stats and double the number of skeleton minions summonable.

There are also 2 new items that fit for a necromancer character:

- Necromancer robes

- Staff of the Death Realm

You can find the items on Gaxkang after you defeat him.

Otherwise you can type "runscript add_ncrrb" to add them to your inventory.

The Lich form spell only works well with the main character since npcs transform in crippled models.

The skeletons created are affected by the Advanced Reanimation spells combo.

The Lich Form remains during dialogue and after death, you must recast and deactivate it if you die in order to come back to the original appearence.

OPTIONAL: permanent summons optional files, it should work well, contact me if you find bugs.

RECOMMENDED: If you really want to feel as a powerful lich of Thedas, try out also my Climax Army Enhanced mod where you can summon an army of undeads at the final battle of Denerim

Compatibility
