Talk:Lich
I think all Liches could be on a same page, as they share most of their properties with themselves. I'd love to read about tactics against liches as well. Progo 10:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Huh?
A lich:
* does not breathe. * has a head, a couple of arms, and a torso. * can regenerate hit points. * is poisonous to eat. * is undead. * always starts as hostile. * can pick up magical items. * has infravision. * never leaves a corpse.
How can both be true?— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.181.14.252 (talk • contribs)

How not to kill a lich
Don't wield a 'trice corpse if you don't have magic resistance. A gnome on level 8 of the Gnomish Mines deliberately jumped on to a polymorph trap, turned into a lich and destroyed my gloves. Not nice...
Confusion?
In a little wizard mode testing, I #polyself'ed in to an arch-lich to do some scroll of gold detection testing while confused. I noticed that I could move in any direction without the normal confused randomisation. I was level 25 at the time, but moved hundreds of squares without randomisation. Is this a symptom of Wizard mode, the monster itself, my high level, was I just lucky or something else entirely? -- Kalon 05:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Random Lich Pet
Has this come up for anyone before?
I was wandering through the dungeon digging up walls with a pickaxe when I looked and there was a Master Lich following me...as a pet. I thought it may have been my kitten morphed, but kitten appeared a few turns later.
Is it possible a lich might just randomly take a liking to a character?
- I bet you stepped on a magic trap and got the "charm monster" effect. I once tamed the Titan on the Medusa level that way. He killed an aligned priest at a temple I was frequenting (bad Titan! no biscuit), then ate a chameleon corpse and followed me around for a while as "George the invisible flying shark" before he finally contrived to get himself killed. It was a weird game.--65.81.9.240 03:07, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
