[DF] Lich PCs in DF - Oswald the Violet

[Tymathee]

Part 1

Just to take a break from working on the details of my non-DF campaign, here's some more DF content!

A cool idea that's been explored before is the Evil PCs campaign, where you play the opposite of heroics and do all the fun naughty stuff. Alternatively, a Suicide Squad-esque DF campaign would be fun too. Stranger still, a party of PCs all with varying tastes in morals would be quite intriguing... a "Avengers assemble!" scale of impending doom where the heroes of Good and the villains of Evil must band together to even stand a chance against the threat of The Unthinkable Eldritch Horrors.

The iconic Evil Wizard is the Lich. What I've got here is a worked example of what a Lich PC (or NPC too, he'd make a very fun villain) might look like for a DF game. I've included some really cool Evil Wizard stuff too; unlike the Evil Cleric and Unholy Warrior whose powers are granted by the Bad God, the Evil Wizards abilities are fueled by pure Evil, assumed to be a tangible force of nature itself which I think is appropriate to the genre.
