On the best methods to learn the secrets of lichdom
kageura necromancer wizard — 27/3/2025 6:38 AM
@Ed Greenwood out of curiosity do you know when you would get to that "how to learn lichdom and becoming a lich" video you mentioned back in december?

I'm afraid not. Ivan and I record in batches, then each vid goes into editing, and they come out when ready. That vid will be in the NEXT batch we record; we still have a lot from the last December 2024 batch.

thanks ed i appreciate it and look forward very much to learning the best methods for learning the secrets of undeath. by the way. in the "worlds&realms" book published by WOTC and written from the perspective of mordenkainen it claims shadowfell is the best place for learning lichdom. is that true or is mordenkainen biased since he never stays on one plane long?

It's true in one sense: in the Shadowfell, collectively, one who tours it tirelessly could learn the widest array of different processes for achieving lichdom. Like a huge department store, it has the best roster. However, to learn even a narrow range of that large roster would be expensive and dangerous, because the Shadowfell is NOT a good source of eager and willing teachers. So "best" in the sense of most could be gleaned by someone wealthy, powerful, fearless, and magically protected enough to pry out such lore. NOT "best" in terms of easiest and safest to learn, and with fewest hazards/difficulties. |
