If I recall, lichdom requires storing your soul away in a phylactery, and part of his punishment for trying to usurp the elven pantheon was being stripped of his immortal elven soul. As such, he couldn't become a lich because he had nothing for the phylactery.
aw shit youre right i thought mage wanting to live forever => lich every time
retard
Isn't he stronger than a lich anyway? I remember fighting a few liches in BG2.
I hope you know a really good WoW classic thread died for this.

Level-wise he's the strongest spellcaster in faerun at the time of BG2.
His desire to reclaim his stolen immortality was his main motivation, but lacking a soul of his own, he didn't have many options (not many that he liked, anyway - his sister was pretty happy with vampirism as an answer to mortality, but he didn't for her empty hedonism). Hence why he instead tried to take the souls of latent demigods.
Ah, an opportunity for you to fuck yourself! Don't waste it, you can fellate a streamer later, too!
I always interpreted his human-like physique to be a result of his soul-swapping experiments. He looks like he hijacked some human's body but wears his elven face as a mask.
They act sooner than we had anticipated .... no matter they will only prove a slight delay.
I swore for like 10 years the va for him was Alan Rickman rip sweet prince
You're at the Copper Coronet at this guy slaps your NPC's ass.
What do you do?
It's Jeremy Irons.
lichdom is a quick'n dirty form of immortality
a real wizard invents his own unique brand of perpetuance so his weaknesses arnt known to a million dedicated hunters of your kind
Hey! It's me, Imoen!

Was it autism?
that imoen sex mod was pretty kino
dont mind me, just passing by, being the best girl
Do you know what level he is? He does whatever the fuck he wants
He saw his sister become a crazy vampire and decided undeath isn't the best route.
It's really not, unless you're talking about the shitty back-alley lichdom you get by selling your boipussy to Orcus.

>Level-wise he's the strongest spellcaster in faerun at the time of BG2.
Technically that would be Larloch.
who would win in a trial by combat?
me
I always loved Sarevok's design. BG1 for the most part takes a extremely grounded, low fantasy approach in its art direction; and then there's this dude, who looks like he wandered in off the album cover for a metal band.
>3 niggers
>2 of which are faggots
>beambog
what the fuck are you doing?!?!
What about that wizard who shows up to take away drizzets swords after you kill the vampires? He is unkillable
I want to play BG2 but I'm a brainlet. Last time I tried I had a hard time understanding what was going on during the first battle and the thought of having to learn a complex system for a game made me drop it.
this is your brain on /pol/
I wish it was more sexy, naughty and less traumatic
there's bards that become liches BARDS
real mastery of magic lets you come up with vastly more permanent solutions than a shitty souljar

just pick totemic druid bro. make sure to max out CHAR for that influence
>2 beamcuck character

what the fuck
How would he go to hell when he has no soul?
she literally lied about that to try to get a rise from you. it was her shit test and she admits it later. she does fuck some drow chicks later in the underdark though
Anyone know how to pull meteorites towards us?
oh i was sure your pic was just bait but you seem to be serious lol
that's the beauty of new forms of immortality: they are new
could be a bunch of things like appending your name to the song of creation, making your body into a manifestation of pure magic, storing your consciousness into an entire demiplane etc
>Remain dust, my foolish god.
What did she mean by this?
You're the one who said powerful mages can become immortal in other ways. I thought you were thinking of specific spells and such that they use but it turns out it's just your fucking headcanon
So as it stands Liches are still the only way for mortals to become immortal
>So as it stands Liches are still the only way for mortals to become immortal
that's not even true ingame, vampires are obviously a thing
and the whole "stealing a demigod soul" is a new thing as well
there is also:
turning into a celestial
turning into a devil
turning into a god
there's your three you brain dead moron.
Cool, thanks you brain dead moron
Ok, I'll keep this in mind if I ever pick it up again.
So I should pirate the version before the EEs, right? What are they called?
Literally the only advantage vampires have over liches is that they get to keep their sensory organs, and even then liches only lose theirs once they stop bothering to cast Gentle Repose on themselves and let their body skeletonize.
every time
T-too strong!
>b-but , we're siblings!
Yet we never look anything alike.
Oi where's your magic license?

No. Pirate EEs. install this mod shsforums.net

You could have just given him a real answer instead spouting some vague bullshit. Off the top of my head:
Anybody
>Vampirism
Has tons of drawbacks, and you're survival is dependent of there being other people around for you to parasitize.
>Piss off the gods enough that they curse you with som bullshit
You'll be alive but life won't be worth living.
>Kill a demigod and steal their divinity
Great if you can pull it off, but there are only so many of those knocking about and they're all going to be stronger than you.
Wizards
>Eternal Youth
Pretty great, but you'll still die if someone kills you. Not very immortal.
>Simulacra bullshit
Technically they aren't you, just a perfect copy of you.
>Soul Jar bullshit
Requires fresh bodies to hop to, and you'll still just die if some one kills you.
>Lichdom
You know the deal.
Psions
>Mind Swap bullshit
See, Soul Jar bullshit.
>Become an Elan.
Works great, but you need to get invited.
Clerics
>Become a big enough sycophant that your god decides to keep you around
Works really well, until your God decides to revoke it.
IS AS CLEAN
why are there sad cat eyes in the background?
>Wizard wants to live forever
>has to go through endless bullshit to become a lich
>Beholder wants to live forever
>merely dreams of it and it happens
The chad and the virgin
>turning into a celestial
>turning into a devil
It really doesn't work like that in d&d. Once you hit the afterlife, you get put through the works for a few millennia until you're bleached of all worldliness and reduced to raw soul-stuff, which is often, but not always, used to create new outsiders. You are no longer you at that point.
>turning into a god
Ah, yes, because that's a feasible goal. Also by definition that's not something you can do on your own.
there are ritual/contract short cuts for the first two and gods die and get replaced by mortals all the time in faerun
Vampirism as a mean to counteract being soulless didn't seem like much of a raw deal tbqh. Had Irenicus settled down on his ambitions and turned into a vampire like his sister, they could have enjoyed a nice hold on Amn and beyond for basically... forever? Do vampires even die of old age in universe? It took CHARNAME's stupid band of powerleveled fags and implausible alliances to take down ONE hand-to-hand vampire.
>you'll still die if someone kills you. Not very immortal
No, that's what immortality is. Stop conflating it with invincibility
Given that specifically isn't the case for several of the other examples that I listed, I felt the need to qualify that it was inferior in that regard.
Also if want to get pedantic, immortal simply means "without death." So yes, something which is both ageless and invincible is indeed more immortal than something which is only ageless.
