Well yeah? A lich is a high level spellcaster, they could appear like whatever they please. In fact it makes more sense for the lich appear attractive than some stanky skeleton.

Based on what we say, it seems that her body is more of a complex illusion/pure magic construct than an animated corpse. The one time we see her exposed to holy mage, parts of her start fading away. But they come back after the holy attack is stopped.

Not a bad alternative to the traditional skelly man approach. It even explains how the lich comes back under most causes of death: the phylactery just recharges and projects a new body when it has enough power.

>>48984005
You know, would a lich even need a physical body outside the phylactery? They could just levitate around and interact with stuff telekinetically.

>>48984068

Its unwise to draw such attention to the phylactery. Best to keep it hidden, out of sight and out of mind, and have an independent platform for interacting with the world.

>>48984005
>It even explains how the lich comes back under most causes of death: the phylactery just recharges and projects a new body when it has enough power.
I always prefered the way it worked in ye olde D&D. The phylactery just grabs the nearest corpse to use as a meat puppet.

I'd rather have the western lich. Little Girl liches are just too retarded. You have all the arcane night and power in the world and you spend it pretending to be a prepubescent girl just to get some sick satisfaction or hide? You're a goddam LICH, you're not SUPPOSED to hide. You're supposed to make a mark on the world in the spotlight; not hiding in some dinky high school library for all eternity trying to satisfy a deviant fetish.

Calm your shit, dude. First off, Wiz isn't a little girl by any stretch. Her body is clearly that of an adult, and I think she might actually be the curviest member of the cast. She certainly isn't prepubescent.

Second, she is explicitly in hiding because she designed the magic seal that keeps adventurers from reaching the Demon King who rules the world, and is one of the 4 people that would need to be destroyed before that seal can be broken. She became a lich in the first place because she doesn't want to die, she helped the demon king because she didn't want to die, and now she is in hiding because she STILL doesn't want to die.

So she acts as the local magic shop owner in the starter town for low level adventurers, meaning that high level adventurers will never notice here any if any of the locals did figure out her secret she could effortlessly obliterate them and blame it on giant toads before word spread.

This is perfectly fine, because Konosuba is a goddamn comedy anime parodying JRPG tropes.

So take your righteous indignation and, while you are on the way to an optometrist to get your eyes checked, lodge that shit firmly up in the deepest recesses of your asshole. Maybe that way the stick won't fit next time.

Although she doesn't looks like a skeleton, there is some ideas from the literature of "good looking" undead that sounds ok.

For example, why don't create a "Dorian Gray Lich"? Your phylactery would be his portrait and all his sins and wounds that he doesn't feel will appear in that portrait. Normal physical body outside, real appearence visible in his phylactery.

-and this is why Japanese media should stick to their own folklore.

If they can't be bothered to do any research on the folklore of other cultures before they try to adapt it for their production, then maybe they shouldn't even have bothered making it in the first place.

Don't mistake my rant for some SJW "appropriation" bullshit, I have no problem with people using folklore, mythology, and so forth from cultures outside of their own, just that you need to show some respect for the source material in how it is portrayed.

I mean, how would they like it if american media showed a Kappa as some scantily-clad buxom babe with fairy wings that lives in clouds rather than make any attempt to portray them as the frog-like river monsters with pools of water on their heads? they'd probably respond with a definite "what the fuck is that?" followed by a "That's not a Kappa".

Aqua doesn't have massive magical power, she wasted all her potential on a wide assortment of low-level party tricks.

Mate, a lich doesn't have to be a skeleton just because that fits the picture of a lich you have in your head.

At the end of the day a lich is just a powerful caster who achieved immortality through magical means.

It's just dungeons and dragons that pushed this idea of skeletal liches onto the western zeitgeist.

>>48985949
It's also full of rich tech-giants that at one point suggested to divide California into 4 or 5 different states, and a bunch of other rich folk who feel they deserve to use as much water as possible even though the state is going through a major drought.

>>48986048
>At the end of the day a lich is just a powerful caster who achieved immortality through magical means.
except that lich is derived from the Dutch lijk, German Leiche, Norse lík, and Swedish lik, all of which translates to "corpse".

It never ceases to amuse me to remember just how much San Francisco has changed since Silicon Valley.

What was one of America's minor but "vibrant" cities (in the same vein as Portland or Seattle) full of weirdos and homosexuals got pumped full of nerdy white guys with strong conservative sentiments but lacking in the conviction to openly express them. So while the San Francisco weirdos suffered under the increasing property taxes the Technocrats in their ivory towers would live idyllic conservative lifestyles with their white wives and white picket fences, saying how privileged they are while doing nothing to fix it.

Now that I think of it, it is kind of stupid that a thing like this doesn't happen often. A lich is equipped with powerful spells, and if they are in an universe where the appearance of a lich is widely known, why wouldn't they use an illusion spell to mask their appearance? Last time I checked, a lich does not want to get killed, so why do they dangle themselves about while equipped with a look that makes everyone want to try to kill them?
Or is every single lich out there one of the "So arrogant that they think nobody can kill them" type?

Hanging out "undercover" in a town full of adventurers seems to be less than (smart).

...Then again, the town is supposed to be full of low-level adventurers - but judging by how the show goes, there's some flaws with that assumption.

Babyish designs for cuteness have been around since early Disney though. And considering that early anime and manga were influenced by Disney cartoons and movies, having more baby-like designs is no surprise.

>>48986329
>>48986256
What about this? The lich can still be a corpse, but they don't have to show it to everyone they see. That's what I'd call "smart".

>>48986346
Probably the result of thinking "Now what is the least likely place anyone would look for a lich?", which would result to a town full of the people trying to kill you, I guess. No guarantee it would work, but it could.

>>48986366

Well, IIRC, she fled the BBEG, and thus is probably safer there than at the bottom of a dungeon somewhere he'd just hunt her down.

>>48986283
> Obviously this lady is all sorts of exception.

Yeah, because she savvy.

Dungeons are a stalling tactic against adventurers at best. It might take a while for a sufficiently powerful one to come along to best the dungeon, but the fact that it IS a monster infested dungeon means that it will inherently attract adventurers to it in the first place. And chances are good that you had to use the same magics you are good at to create and populate the dungeon in the first place (you would, after all, want to make the dungeon as powerful as possible). That means by the time they reach you, everything they have fought has been within your wheelhouse, meaning that any adventurer that can best the dungeon has basically been training to fight you the whole time.

It might take a hundred years for anyone dangerous enough to reach you to pop up, but you are a lich A hundred years a is supposed to be a drop in the bucket to you now.

If you want to not get mobbed by adventurers and heroes, don't advertise yourself like with a dungeon. Hide in plain sight, keep your head down, and present a public face that is useful to common adventurers so only the dick ass thief has any reason to mess with you, the sort of person that if you blow away not a lot of people will actually be that upset about.

Besides, Wiz knows for a fact she isn't the biggest fish in this pond. That's the demon king. So there isn't anything to gain from trying to be the BBEG, that position is already filled. She could, at best, be one of the demon kings top generals. Which is a lot of work and attracts high level heroes to you like flies.

Might as well ring a dinner bell and yell "Free XP and magic items" while you are at it.

>>48986326

Texas schooling fascinates me, you've got towns out in the middle of nowhere spending millions of dollars on football stadiums because they'd rather have Friday Night Lights than a well-funded academia.

Which seems shitty until things get complicated since the school is doing this because they're acutely aware that the vast majority of their students will not go to college or even leave their town.

Did I hit the nail on the head, or is there another reason Texas is so infamous for no-name towns having huge stadiums and elevating their football teams as celebrities?

>>48984068
Isn't that a demilich?

>>48986427
Demiliches usually still have their skull and bone dust.

>>48986397

Thats true.

Enough adventurers to protect her from attacks by forces from the BBEG, but weak enough that she could probably fight her way out if she suddenly had to. She also does a lot to ingratiate herself to most of the local heroes in the form of magic item selling, identification, and occasionally helping the town out with certain threats. Which builds up enough good cred that even the people who find out her secret are not strongly incentivized to attack her.

It might not be a 100% ideal situation, but its a nice sweet spot to lay low in.

>>48986163
I like to do that every now and then for high level PCs, like, between adventures or chapters of their main adventure. They find themselves in a town with quests and issues intended for a group 1/3 their level, and everything is so god damn important to the little peasant people with their singular troll problem and Joe Miller trying to usurp the power of Roger the Mayor, but it's all so pathetic and simple for them.

Later it's back to fighting Beholders and shit.

that's called a "metabolism" it's presence is the very definition of life. if she's got that, then she's not dead, she's alive.

to be undead would mean all metabolic processes have stopped, but they are still moving around.

Actually that would make for an interesting character concept. some caster got badly injured, was touch-and-go for a while there but came out of it with a nasty scar, is now convinced she's a lich despite her travelling companions constantly trying to explain to her that she isn't.

Mate if you can dispel a vain lady lich's self-illusion you are probably packing enough magical firepower to kill her outright anyway.

Liches can be as vain and want to look good or badass as much as the next guy. Often more. You have millenia to live, and you're a badass motherfucker, might as well look your best while doing it.

>>48986595
but why bother? so long as the phylactery is intact then the physical condition of the body is unimportant. let it decay to nothing but skeleton and mummified flesh! it will have no effect on your ability to spread death and ruin upon mortals! unless you are so vain that you need to see your old face all the fucking time.

>>48986582
What if her skull is dead and she's a demilich, but she's grown a living body around her dead skull that she uses magic to maintain?

>>48986143
She's cold, the main character uses her lap as a pillow because it is colder to the touch.

>>48985933

>>48986638
>What if her skull is dead and she's a demilich, but she's grown a living body around her dead skull that she uses magic to maintain?

>Shit Writing
>A Lich with big tits in an anime
Shit writing goes without saying, but the idea of a Lich that wants to maintain a fleshy body isn't such a terrible idea.

>>48986652
Not dying is presented as the most common reason, yes.

I would imagine that after centuries of no physical sensations, no hormones, no eating or drinking... most liches go a little insane. Or a lot.

>>48986652
well they went about it in a wholly evil way so I'm going to assume that they are evil people. and evil undead wizard with nothing but an eternity ahead of him? their original goal may not have been undead conquest, but now that they've got the immortality and read all their spell books a bazillion times, why not?

>>48986652

Well, you have to be a real evil bastard to become a lich by DnD rules, because the process is incredibly vile and only those of the darkest hearts could ever see it through.

Granted, this doesn't mean you have to go on a mass murder spree afterwards. It just means you are willing to do anything to survive, no matter how despicable.

In theory, if you could figure out another way to achieve the same end you don't even NEED to be evil to achieve something akin to lichdom. There are multiple ways to skin a cat, after all, its pretty boring to imagine that something like literal magic can ONLY grant you immortality in one very specific way that requires super duper evil acts.

That said, its doubtful anyone would ever believe that you achieved lichdom by perfectly neutral means. "I sacrificed 900 cows at the same time instead of 60 virgins to make up the difference in life force, and then I butchered the cows for their meat and had a massive BBQ and the whole kingdom was invited and it was a great time for all except for the part where we ran out of potato salad" is a hard pill to swallow.

>>48986688
>how would YOU do it?
don't!

My liches follow Ming the merciless's rule: "don't bother trying to convince people that you're good, what's the point of being an evil overlord if your just going to spend it being a spin doctor?"

One of the main asshole liches in Forgotten realms, Szass Tam, also tend to run around alot in Human form as well. And we won't even delve into the Shoon the 7th, who is running around as a wood elf girl after jacking her body. It isn't as unique as you think it is OP.

>>48986699
>I would imagine that after centuries of no physical sensations, no hormones, no eating or drinking... most liches go a little insane. Or a lot.

All the more reason to invest in a higher quality physical body that allows you to enjoy the finer things in life.

Evil is simply putting yourself before others in the accomplishment of your goal, which could quite easily be immortality followed by an eternity of fucking around doing normal stuff because you're dull as shit.

>>48986735

Yeah, I tend to play that there are other ways to achieve immortality, because I like the idea of having ancient corpses in my setting that aren't necessary baby-eaters. The common thread, though, would be that they're all extremely involved, complex, and hard to pull off, as well as generally kind of unorthodox and more than a bit squicky most of the time. Becoming immortal is one of those things that takes a lot of magical mojo and a lot of know how and which can go REAL bad REAL fast if you fail to dot all your i's and cross all your t's.

The "stardard" lich thing, then, would be kind of the shortcut. You can spend decades of your life working an extremely complex ritual that can go boom if you make the slightest mistake... or you can set up the easy blood sacrifice ritual and bind a hundred human souls in eternal unspeakable torment for power and become a lich within three months. You know, your choice. It's not like you know all those people anyway, fuck'em, right?

I find it helps drive it into players how the common lich is an evil fucker. It removes the lack of options excuse. And it makes the ocassional good ancient dead spellcaster all the more feasible.

>>48986860
>Akame ga Kill ended.
He didn't mention Akame ga Kill, and the manga is ongoing, mind you the anime ending was produced using the author's notes, and the manga is turning out quite similar though with different characters dying.

>>48984005
Wiz's body is entirely corporeal (though she does not seem to have bodily functions, or at least, is always cold to the touch). We know this from the WN and LNs, as well as the anime OVA. That fading reaction is the same for any undead in KonoSuba.

>>48986878
What? did you shag a cow? are you a pervert?

>>48986694
I'd like to see a lich go really over the top with the idea of physical perfection, to the point they just look freakish.
They only became a lich to "preserve their beauty," but gradually lost their grip on their original ideal of beauty, so they keep on molding their flesh over and over, trying slight variations on themselves until they get it right (they won't, they never will).

>>48986878
Yes anon. You would shag that cow too.

>>48986768
>Wiz isn't evil anyway, probably the most moral character in Konosuba tbqh.

I like to imagine that Wiz used to be evil 500 years ago or so, with full on evil sorceress gettup and ojou laugh and they whole bit... but over time she just sort of mellowed out. Like, being evil takes a lot of work, you know? All that dungeon prep, working on evil rituals and plans... and for what? Slightly more power than you have right now? Can't you just to arcane research nights and weekends instead and get more done because people don't keep trying to burn down your house?

Fighting adventurers is fun for a while, but then you reach that point where is like "Is this what I am going to do for the rest of my life? Fight small groups of fighters/healers/mages/thieves in different combinations until one of them eventually outsmarts me? Is it even, like, worth killing these guys anymore? Nothing ever changes. I can't even work up a good evil laugh anymore, and they can tell I'm phoning it in before i turn their organs inside out and they die screaming."

She just kind of outgrew that edgy evil phase and learned to stop and smell the roses.

>>48986878
But anon, if you put on human ears on a cow, it totally looks like a human.

I'm pretty sure I've read this plot with the Evil Overlord getting bored of trying to conquer the world and just kind of deciding to settle down in a nice big house, but for the life of me I can't remember where.

>>48986768
>No.
>Evil is simply putting yourself before others in the accomplishment of your goal,
only by D&D standards, not mine, nor what I employ when I GM.

for me, and this is a general rule so there are exceptions, but the general rule is: evil is the willingness or desire to knowingly harm others to achieve one's own, often selfish, ends.

>>48986964
Kind of reminds me of Hataraku Maou-sama, except I'm not sure about the "retiring" or the "big house" parts. Probably not the series you are looking for, I think?

>>48986924
That would've been great, but I'm fairly sure it's non-canon.
There's this one bit in the fourth arc where the Slime general casually admits to eating people and Wiz goes full paladin on him.

>>48986983
That's basically what I meant, sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Hmmm. It really does. The fact that other options exist and they still chose the one that was evil as fuck just because it was easier says a lot about them as a person.

AND you can do interesting stuff with it, like someone who is forced to use that form of lichdom because they simply don't have time for anything else. Like, imagine an elderly king whose sons are killed in battle leaving him without an heir, and the kingdom will implode into a power vacuum and civil war without him because all of his other options either have poor claim to the throne or are little shits.
Imagine that guy speaking to him court and knights, getting together the 100 most loyal followers of his kingdom and getting them to volunteer to make him the King Eternal for the good of the realm.

He could just as easily take 100 criminals from the dungeons and do the same, but in his wisdom he has decided that if he cannot convince 100 men to go into death in his death, he doesn't deserve eternal life anyway because the people do not love their king enough to keep him around forever.

Imagine the choices that kind of king would make after the ritual was completed. Knowing that you only still draw breath because 100 men trusted you to be the best king you could, every day, and they signed up to be tortured for eternity to give you that chance. The weight of those lives on your soul.

The concept of history and society as we know it began with America.

>>48987143
I'm personally more inclined towards sheep girls, those fluffy narcoleptic creatures with cute curly horns.

>The concept of history and society as we know it began with America.
yeah but the United States itself doesn't have a long history period. the nation has only been around for the last 240 years our culture probably closer to 300-400 (accounting for the time we spent as colonies). We, as a culture, don't have a long history of anything because we don't have a long history period. anything before that belongs to the tribes that lived here before us.

First, I don't believe you.

Second, it's abundantly clear that the example in question is not from D&D or related to it in any way.

Third, and most importantly, whatever is being discussed doesn't stop depending on the setting just because you can identify an origin. Bram Stoker's Dracula isn't any more "correct" than a Ventrue or Malkavian or Wesley Snipes' Blade.

>>48987220
Yes, because Lich is old English for corpse and Lovecraft was both an anglophile and a fan of using a more complex word where a simpler one d do.

Lovecraft wasn't referring to an animated spellcaster, but a corpse.

>>48987182
So what you're saying is that Gary Gygax invented the word and appropriated the ideas from other people?

It doesn't matter what that fat, depressing sack of shit did, thought, or intended. Your idolization of this pathetic figure is positively revolting to behold.

Keep your shitty game and shitty designer in their containment generals.

Depending on the mood of the mods (who are very fickle in my experience), posting this thread could be a bannable offense.

It's a slippery slope though...

I mean, it used to be Vampires were these nasty, undead, super-fast zombie like things that burst from the grave and ate their relatives.

...Then we got Bram Stoker's Dracula, the dapper vampire.

Pretty soon that got dramatized to focus on the romance...

Then Anne Rice game along with the gay sex...

Then Buffy and the various teenage vampire romancers...

...And now they fucking sprakle.

That is actually not unlike one of the said good liches I used in my game. Though here it was the advisor to a king, and did have the time to do the long-term version. Promised the king on his deathbed that he would continue advising his family for as long as he could, unless the very country came undone. Set out to make sure he could do exactly that.

His phylactery was the actual royal castle. He was going to be there until the very foundations of his friend's country were torn apart.

The players met him as the advisor for the current Queen, some five hundred years after his lichification. They thought he was a really cool old dude.

>>48987359
Let him worship Gygax and D&D if he wants, it's not like it hurts you any. Unless it does, in which case my condolences.

>>48987359
It actually does matter, because somebody incorrectly stated Gygax's idea of a Lich wasn't relevant. It was and is relevant tomnthe discussion, calm down brah.

>>48987363
The mods are inconsistent, and we generally see at least one thread of this nature that devolves into a weeaboo vs weeaboo hater face off every day anyways. If everyone gets banned, it's probably for the better.

>>48987297
Yeah, which is why I'm not all that sure about the whole "retiring" part.

>>48987380
Gygax wrote objectively terrible modules. Pointing out a fact about him isn't worship.

>>48987371
Yeah, and Satan went to a somewhat silly, pitiful creature that was often the subject of ridicule in public plays to a sly businessman who corrupts. Cultural concepts change, folklore changes, religion changes and even our views of historical figures change. Consider that the man who didn't spoke a single word of English and said he'd sell London if he could find a buyer now has a statue dedicated to him right next to Buckingham Palace and is widely considered to be the greatest king England ever had. Are we going to tell the English they're wrong for honoring this king? That it's "cultural appropriation" of the French? If we're going that way, close to half of English culture is appropriated. Appropriated from something the Franks appropriated from the Romans.

>>48987371
Vampire folklore(while hardly consistent) does get mixed in with the succubus stuff where it's more along the lines of, "No it wasn't a dream I totally fucked that hot chick that died last year, she just turned to dust when sunlight hit her in the morning."

>>48987371
So write a story about some horrible fucking vampires then, if you're so concerned about how a fictional fucking creature is portrayed.

That's because literary works took over from folklore and other beliefs. Vampires pretty much from the moment Stoker wrote his novel became a vent for all the sexual and dark shit. Not like vampire literature didn't exist before, but Dracula really made it what it was.

>>48987392
Of course his idea is irrelevant. This is not a case in which D&D is relevant. Unless there is explicit mention that the subject in question is actually related to D&D, then it is nit acceptable to assume that posting about D&D is on topic.

You idiots shit up so many threads with the same asinine D&D bullshit - mostly alignment - every fucking day without end. Contain the shitposting. Hold in your autistic urge to ramble about D&D and address the topic from a neutral or universal perspective like everyone else.

>loliko thread
No.

>>48987459
Dude, I've already been over this. D&D literally was the first time the concept of a Lich existed. As such their concept of a Lich is relevant.

No one is shitting up the thread but you sir, please calm your tits.

>>48987440
30 Days of Night, I guess? Or just look up old 18th century military documents about supposed legit cases of vampirism. I mean, it's superstition and it's really tame compared to fiction we got today, but put yourselves in the shoes of soldiers and officers who had to figure out what the fuck was going on.

>>48987371
Most of that is just adaptation to their target audience.

>>48987504
You're just repeating meaningless Fat Ugly Bastard Trivia. It doesn't matter what the "origin" was. Liches are a staple of a broad range of fiction, and 90% of that fiction has nothing at all to do with D&D. There is as much meaning in discussing "Gygax's intent" for this topic as there is in discussing "Bram Stoker's intent" in a thread about Monogatari's vampires.

/D & D i s n o t/ relevant here, nor in nearly any other thread. Bringing it up only serves to derail the conversation as NARPfags and the sorry crowds of D&D exclusive players flock to argue about alignment and optimization with each other.

So basically you're that guy that pops into threads looking for opportunities to say that D&D is relevant.

>>48987672
No, you see luckily for me this is /tg/, not /d&d/. There does still remain some slivers of worth in this wretched place.

>>48987716
/tg/ became /d&d/ a long time ago. well that and /w40k/. Speaking of which we already have our little bit of /w40k/ in this thread.

>>48987734
Indeed. Regardless of how anyone feels about them both, its utterly pointless to get upset about them.

>>48987641
People get really pissed off when faced with the notion that concepts can change over time because the newer generations have different preferences and demands. It's like how the older generations get pissed that the working class nowadays don't have the same work ethics because working conditions are changing.

>I have a desire to live, while a couple other guys have a desire to kill me. I'm evil for putting myself before others.
You're ok stopping evil, which murder is, so self defense is usually fine.

I come into these threads for minor shits and giggles since it always devolves into one of these minor trainwrecks. If it was "this is a Japanese elf" argument we might have even gotten a virt to show up.

Are you saying that Michael Jackson was or is a Lich?

>>48987778
The only person preventing shits and giggles is any Muppet choosing to get upset because someone mentioned D&D/40k/insert whatever thing triggers the autistic fuckers.

>>48987700
NTG, but given that she's an undead spell caster, that does put her firmly into the D&D mold, as that conception of the Lich didn't exist before Gygax. Closest you got was someone referring to an undead corpse as a lich. This lich is clearly taken from the typical MMO form of that concept, and adapted for an anime comedy.

(And she is undead, as casting Turn Undead on her apparently works. Also among the reasons Wiz is scared shitless of Aqua - who's such a mana bag that she can basically cast it forever.)
