Re: 'Kalinore' from Tomb of the Witch King (spoilers)
This is a thing that I see in the creation of some powerful enemies. I look at what they are and wonder how they go there.
Is IQ14 (maybe 16 if he had the ring before his transformation) to pull off his lichification? And if he didn't increase his ST/DX after Lichification, then he is almost RAW breaking. Mind you, you can do whatever you want for story.

My assumption is make a permanent pentagram (no need for Apprentices) then summon a demon a minute to grab everything of value on the entire planet.

For example, if Kalinore's back store had been that he was a physically powerful warrior king who used a powerful, lost magical artifact or scroll or whatever to transform into a lich then the stat block we are given jives with where he came from. Or, if Kalinore had been an archmage but the rules block for liches says they gain 10 points of ST (but no IQ) after transforming, then story, rules and stat block would again line up. What I don't like is the feeling that the author's eyes aren't on the road when a concept is getting transformed into hard numbers and lists of spells and talents. |
