| Creature | Basics | Attacks | Attributes | Powers |

| Demilich | HD: 10 mv: - Armor: 5 (5) | see below (ghost manifestation touch, aging 2 + 1 per 10 energy levels) | +4 saves, immune to almost everything (see below) | Manifestation, Howl, Soul Drain, Curse |
| Remains of the master lich long gone.
When the remains are first encountered, the dust will rise up as a
ghost. However, this ghost is completely immune to any damage or
effects, building up energy levels for each potential damage inflicted
on it or spell cast, with energy equal to power of the spell. These
energy levels increase the damage caused by the touch of the ghost
manifestation, and are lost at the rate of one level per day if left
undisrubted.
If the skull of the demilich is touched, it will rise into air. During its next action, it will howl, forcing all creatures within 10 meters to save vs. death at -1 or become permanenly slain and forever gone. In next round, the demilich will suck the soul of the most powerful creature within 10 meter to one of its teeth gem. This can be avoided only with some kind of magical resistance. It will then descend, satiated. It can suck up to 5-8 souls, and after they are full or no creatures can anymore be affected, it will start to curse. There is no save against this curse, and its effects surpass any normal curse, with typical curses being: Never succeed in saving throw, opponents always hit in combat, always loses all treasures gained. This curse can only be removed with Bless, no typical Remove Curse affects it. The skull of the demilich can only be affected or destroyed with following ways: Holy blade or similar weapon does 1 point of damage to it. Any other physical attack does one point of damage of a d6 roll of 6, regardless of actaul damage done. Forget spell will cause it to sink without howling, sucking a soul or cursing. Banish (or Banish Evil) will deal 1 point of damage to it, as will Holy water thrown at it. Disintegration and Negate Magic each does 2 points of damage. If the skull is destroyed, all trapped souls must save at -1. Those failing are forever gone, but other souls can be salvaged by crushing the gem with suitable body within a few meters. Unless the reminas of the skull are sprinkled with holy water, the creature will reform over 1-10 days. | ||||
