gravedigger#

A gravedigger feels the need to expand his knowledge of the mostly unknown and mystic subject of death. They sometimes find that pain can be delightful and relish their own death, hoping that surely it could be strung out a bit longer if possible so they could assess its many developments upon the way. Gravediggers can be somewhat social at times, but it isn’t uncommon to see a hermetic gravedigger or necromancer.

Roleplay And Details#

The class starts as a gravedigger, ritualist, warlock, necromancer, and eventually becomes a Liche. A Liche can control 1 creature for every 10 levels and 1 summon at a time. A Liche can hold up to 1 soul for every 10 levels for a maximum of 10 souls end-game as well. Creatures cannot be ordered to wield instruments on the ground but instead understand the commands simply: Attack! Defend! Stay! Follow! Creatures will not act on their own, and when are done with their last command will remain in one spot until commanded to do something else. Infused creatures may communicate in infernal. Lichen may communicate with spectrals, phantoms, spirits, wraiths, but may not speak with Archons for they speak celestial not infernal. Horrors do not communicate legitimately because they are constantly in a rage. For a list of enslave-able or souled creature archetypes refer to creature archetypes. The most favored races for a Liche are Elf, Goblin, Orc, Pixie, and Sprite; however, currently the most dominate race is Human. Liches are most commonly found in the wilds, reclusive like the Druid or Hermit. A Liche will do whatever it takes to learn more about death and magic forbidden to them by the mage spire.
