Editing Lich (section)

===Archlich===
[[Archmage]] 1st, lich 2nd, introduced in [[Spelljammer]], having lessened spellcasting capacity depending on edition, later becoming a [[Epic Destiny]] in [[4e]], the archlich is the mentor of mages past its twilight years, moving on to higher levels of knowledge, cheating death, and the hungry evils of the lower planes that would seek to claim it's soul. Nothing is stopping the zealous from trying to purge their 'oh so benevolent' not-evil asses, mind you. Well, clerics can't turn them, though it's not like immunity isn't mistaken for resistance- oops. As the answer to the question of "/tg/! /tg/! can there be good liches?" they're pretty rare, often out the way retirees of the intrigues of mortal planes. Despite this, in the face of threat from higher undead controllers, the archlich is kind of a downgrade from a regular evil lich, as they can't obtain the goodies a lich would obtain in [[Van Richten's Guide]] to the Lich, and demilichdom is out of the question too. They still get to cast spells as a generalist & specialist... technically. Another thing that doesn't work in the favor of these would-be good guys is the fact that the term 'Arch-Lich' is often used to describe incredibly powerful normal liches, with [[Vecna]], [[Acererak]] & [[Demios]] all having been referred to as such, and all of them being thoroughly evil. Tough break.
