Description:

Lichdom adds a way to turn yourself into a Lich, granting new skills/benefits, and the ability to bind your soul to a phylactery, granting immortality.

If you’d like to look like the Lich in the screenshots, use Majoras – Character Creation Plus – Definitive Edition with the Human Male Undead race, Face value 13 or 14. 14 has the Lich body, but you’ll need to remove your armor for it to look right.

Grab this if you’d like to transform your Origin characters and use CCP’s custom appearance options.

Phylacteries are charged with souls (represented as "Power" on the Phylactery). When a Lich is about to die, they get teleported to their Phylactery, and an appropriate amount of souls are removed from the Phylactery (-2 in Tactician+, -1 in any difficulty below that). Phylacteries can be recharged by using the "Drain Soul" skill.

• Create a Phylactery using a Soul Extractor, gaining immortality as long as it does not break.
  • Characters using the Lich preset gain 1 free Soul Extractor initially.
  • Note: Currently there’s no way to create another Soul Extractor (beyond applying the Lich preset to a different character), so take good care of your phylactery!
• Passives
  • Immunity to Bleeding and Suffocating.
  • Gains the Zombie talent (not visible in the talent menu for non-Undead races).
  • No surfaces created when hit.
  • Water Resistance, small amount of Air and Piercing Resistance.
  • If Feared or Stunned, Lichs roll for a "Saving Throw", which may clear the status.
• Racial skills are replaced with Lich versions (Undead races also gain these racial skills).
• Liches created by the preset start with a unique one-handed staff that scales to their level.
• All Lich passive statuses can be made hidden, for those wanting to hide their Lichdom.

Use any of the methods below (pick one):

• Use a Soul Extractor to create a Phylactery. This will also transform you into a Lich.
• Select the Lich preset in Character Creation.
• Select the Lich preset in LeaderLib’s preset menu.
• Use the "setup" debug command in Lichdom’s Settings menu (from LeaderLib’s mod menu).

The Lich’s Staff is one-handed, so you can use it with a shield, or shield slot items added by other mods (Like Weapon Expansion’s grimoires). Using it with another one-handed weapon will result in the staff not being visible, depending on what slot it’s equipped in.

This unfortunately is a result of DOS2’s weapon animation system not having anything to handle displaying a staff when the current animation type is anything dual-wielded (a staff in the offhand also makes the Staff skill requirement say there’s no staff equipped).

Staff + Shield has animations, or staff alone has animations, so keep that in mind when picking your weapon setup.

Currently in Lichdom’s Debug Menu is the option to transform into the "Undead Lich" equivalent of your current race. This should preserve your skills, talents, origin tags, gender, and equipment, but consider this experimental.

You’ll need to use a respec mirror to get your portrait to regenerate.

You can also revert to your previous race, but keep in mind that your previous portrait/looks won’t be preserved.

Note: If using Majoras Character Creation Plus, I recommend grabbing my patch here: Lichdom – Character Creation Plus Patch. This is required to have Origin characters work right when transforming. After transforming, visit the respec mirror to get your appearance to look correct.

• Many of the current skills are initial ideas. Balancing may be required!
• While the "small box" phylactery says it’s a ring, it cannot be equipped. It seems only equipment can have charges, so the box is technically a ring right now so you’ll have tooltip info on its current charge amount.
• Be aware that dying inside some sort of specific story encounter and teleporting to your phylactery could potentially break something, so be sure make safety saves, or keep your phylactery on you for those situations.

Plans for future updates:

• More skills to unlock as you grow in power.
• More visual effects.
• Unique icons for skills/statuses.
• Phylactery balancing.
• Unique visual set choices for the Lich race, with a CCP integration mod/patch.

If you’re feeling generous, an easy way to show support is by tipping me a coffee:
