I actually came up with one. Here it is: Soul Canister: this glass canister, originally invented by the famous Archlich Acererak, is worn on the back of a belt by the lich. Its effect is that it can be used as an alternative material component when casting the spell Soul Cage. The canister can hold 12 souls at a time, as opposed to just one. In addition, the user of the canister can attempt to suck any incorporeal undead they encounter into it, the undead spirit having to make a DC 18 Wisdom saving throw. The famous Soul Monger that Acererak used during the Tomb of Annihilation adventure was an advanced, scaled-up form of this device. Acererak invented it to get around the hassle of collecting souls one at a time to feed to his Phylactery for him and his followers.

Due to strange gobnoid magiks the spear head deals bludgeoning damage equal to a +2 club, and getting hit by the club part deals piercing damage equal to a +1 spear.

If you have the work “Ezmerelda’s Encyclopedia of Evil” one of it’s many sections, on Liches, has an entry for a creature called a Grisgol, which is essentially an animated phylactery. The phylactery forms the heart of a construct, but it is surrounded by spell scrolls and magic items that all fly together to form a humanoid construct more than capable of defending itself (although it usually just uses one of its spell scrolls to escape, casting something like teleport or plane shift). One original idea I personally had for necromancers was that a necromancer could combine their skills with reanimating corpses with skill in artifice to imbue their zombie minions with all sorts of gadgetry features such as detachable arms with chains tying them to their body, a projectile weapon like a dart gun, small flamethrower, or even a self-destruct bomb being stored in their torso. I would think that a practice like this would actually be common, and any necromancer worth their salt, would far from just randomly animating any random corpses nearby, would instead seek to customize their undead minions, surgically designing them to maximize their effectiveness.

I toyed with an ideal of a high level Wizard wishing to avoid lichdom. Because that’s icky. So he makes the most obvious choice in 5e, and goes with Clone. (This specifies up your clones age. And upon specific over general actually deages you.) However even though his renames are inert, and cannot be used for reanimating he gets an idea. He strips all the flesh, and uses a metallurgical technique to electroplate the entire corpse. He performs whatever enchantments he thinks he needs. He gathers armor, covering clothes and animates it. And since the animate dead spell says the GM provides the Stat block, and the DMG specifies the skeleton has a form of (medium?) armor, and weapons, we can easily presume that the given remains supply said weapons and armor, and they are therefor proficient. Because Skeletons do add their proficiency to their weapon attacks IIRC. A little DM fiat could do all kinds of interesting things with that. Ring of Mind Shielding allowing your Skeleton to wear your ring if you die with it on. Ring of Spell Storing.

That might be a really cool idea for a super powerful lich, who has been roped into something beyond even their own comprehension and has achieved absolutely insane power being tied to the whims of fate, but being unable to interact directly with anything or anyone that had an actual Fate (as opposed to the generic fate of death). Sure, they're indestructible until fate says otherwise, but they cannot just do what they want and have to work towards balancing the fates of good and evil. TL;DR a neutral aligned lich who has been forced into maintaining balance might be really cool.

I forgot to mention the effects of one the paired items for my entry even though it didn't win I'd still appreciate feedback on it. The Ring of Klous Mou when used separately of the sword by a living being grants two affects depending on whether the side of beast or man is facing outward. Man grants +3 to charisma exceeding the cap of 20 and granting the ability to cast charm person with a DC of 18 once a day... But with each passing day of the ring being worn without use of the sword it drains charisma by one boosting the effect of the rings enchantment by one until the wearer hits a score of zero at which point they die and rise as a ghoul. With the side beast outward it gives a bonus of +5 strength. With each day that passes the wearer becomes more and more prone to violence as they slowly lose intelligence, boosting the enchantment of the ring until they hit zero. Dying and raising from the dead as a wight. In both cases the resulting creature is compelled to seek out the sword of Klous Mou and either unite the items (killing said creature instantly) or die at the hands of its wielder effectively ensuring said person will wear the ring and start their slow decent into vampirism.

When the hordes size reaches 10,000 and for every 10,000 above that it gains +1 and another ability(mace of striking, mace of command ect) up to a +5. At 50,000 it also gains the notice of the orcish pantheon, they may hear Gruumch speak to them in dreams, orc's close to the chief will have noticed small changes over time that can no longer be denied. The shaman (or chief, whoever doesn't have the weapon) will almost certainly challenge them at some point and lose, but the chief will lose an eye in that duel and the horde will take it as a sign of Gruumch's personal blessing. At this point the rest of the world is in serious trouble. The exact horde size per +1 and abilities I leave up to the dm that puts it in a campaign, custom it to whatever monsterious race you like.

I like the items attuned to the undead that give negative effects to the adventurers if they attune to them. My take on it would be when attuning to the item, a jolt of necrotic damage would hit the character with a CON save for half damage. If the damage received reduced the character to half hit points the character would not be able to attune to the item and could not attempt attuning to the item for 24 hours. If the character is able to attune to the item, it functions normally.

It exists simultaneously on the Ethereal Plane, & Physical Plane . With the expenditure of hit points, in the form of cutting one's self, the blood or undead equivalent rearranges the "runes" into a map showing the location of where those who have most wronged the user are in the world. If their visages are unknown it will reveal those as well, obviously for a murder victim, or their survivor that will be the killers. If destroyed the map will reappear elsewhere on the same Plane.

Can this include items that contain a spirit, demon, genie, so on, that speaks with the holder? I have several ideas along those lines written down. Including a "Fire axe" that contains an Efreeti and a helmet that's a prison for a prismatic Abishai.

How about non-combat magical items, more specifically magic items that improves player's / character's convience. I always felt that improving convience is as rewarding as an increase in power while avoiding power creep. Though that's mostly a video game issue.

I have been looking for any lore on a Lich ( or otherwise) device that captures souls and puts them into armor. I keep finding constructs, not spirit inhabited armor or mobile objects really. Can i get some help?
@FirstNameLastName-okayyoutube4 жыл бұрын
Little back story.. have a artifact called Garden of Shadows that stores souls from all near by deaths. The artifact is broken, and to big to take anywhere, in that it was intended to be a powersource, but the enchanted temple is sealed by a god. Anyway some smartypants / previous inhabitance proved it can transfer a soul into a suit of armor. My party is trying to figure out how to reproduce that result and more or less recue a bunch of people who died by getting them into suits and problem solving things elsewhere. So far tho we keep getting golems, animated armor, and spectual skeletons, but no friends souls into the suits, due to a lack of having some kind of correct pathway. Any item, spell, or ritual able to help?
@AJPickett4 жыл бұрын
Hmmm... Cast true resurrection on them, it's actually easier and cheaper than trying to imprison their soul in an object which they can animate and direct.

Not lich lore specifically but may i recommend the Eidolon and Sacred Statue stat blocks from pages 193 and 194 of Mordenkainen's tome of foes. The eidolon is an incorporeal Undead of any alignment created by a god. Its only two real abilities are a 60 foot fear affect DC 15 and Sacred Animation where it enters a statue and animates it with multiattack, a slam attack, and a rock throwing attack.
