(Yes, still more Undead)

Lich (Generic Boss)
Powerful necromancers who work with death on a daily basis know well the limits of mortality and often fear death. Those who do sometimes seek inhuman immortality in the form of a lich. Once they have transformed themselves, their form now skeletal and thin with eyes that burn with magical power and voices that crackle and grate, their ambition and fear of death does not abate. Instead, their unleashed minds almost always go mad with magical power, making liches some of the most terrifying of necromancers.

The Lich listed here is derived from GURPS Magic, and he has no templates at all, making him unsuitable for use without additional tinkering. Generally, a lich will be a caster with necromancy, as well as a few more colleges of spells, and generally sit at the front of a powerful army of the dead.

Skills: +1 to Thanatology.

Class: Undead

Notes: Can and often do negotiate. Often much higher in intelligence and know spells. Can be affected by Pentagrams and turned by True Faith. Skull has a total of 2 DR. Truly Evil

Lord Carrion (Lesser Epic Boss)
Hundreds of years ago, a royal wizard struggled to defend his nation against the onslaught of a powerful empire. As he struggled to defeat his enemies and preserve his people from the terrible rage of the empire's cruel paladins, he grew to hate the church that had caused his misery and reached for magics best left forgotten and forged a dark pact with a Reaper, a master of the dead. His sacrifice came too late, however, and his kingdom fell. Alone, he struggled to master these secrets or death, hoping one day to bring back his dead kingdom, only to find himself running short on time, so naturally, he sought and gained immortality. Now his goals and desires have twisted. Now he wishes to resurrect those that fell in this forgotten war in a necromantic parody of the home he once loved.

Lord Carrion is a gaunt figure, shrouded in his regal black and silver cloak and cowl. He moves with the grace of a pretender-king and when he waves his skeletal hands, the dead lift their hands in silent adulation. Only holy clerics and paladins frighten him now, and in time, even they too shall turn to dust, and then they will belong to him.

Code:

ST: 9       HP: 12    Speed: 7
DX: 12      Will: 13  Move:  7
IQ: 13      Per: 13
