the immortals added and added to lich and now they/we are seeing the result of it being obscenely overpowered
it starts with them getting an invulnerability to everything thats supposed to cause them stress and goes on from there.
i would glady accept a high powered mage type character that skirts the civilised world, a character of dread reputation but has little interest in the petty mortals but unfortunately we have someone with a vested interest in pk and with every power under the sun to do so..
the driving force behind becoming a lich is immortality (at least in the normal fantasy world it is) in cf it's so you can become a huge pk monster with the cards stacked in your favour..
i would appreciate at least if the game wasn't so horribly stacked in favour of evil
(typified by the fact that paladins/shamans of good are like annoying gnats to a lich, every attack being less than threatening)
when you have paladins cowering from liche because there is not -one- thing they can do to them, then you know CF is fucked..
lich were cool, but with the knowledge of more and more phylacteries that have fucking sick effects it's just getting stupid..
on one hand rampant horrid pk'ing is bad say the imms, on the other, here's your reward..goodies? fuck off and die - thats what you get for playing the infinately harder alignment.
