Lich-Fiends

[Nunkuruji]

(WIP as I continue to gather my thoughts)

For the sake of curiosity, I started looking at Lich-Fiends and what sort of effective combinations could be created with the template. I've not come across any particularly interesting threads with regards to.

The typical Lich is a wizard or sorcerer, and are typically built as traditional spellcasters, given the caster level requirement.

One thing that fiends have the ability to really capitalize on is paralyzing touch. I don't often see humanoid Lich's really make this effective. Many fiends have a nice set of natural attacks, and excellent charisma to fuel the DC.

One big potential downside is sacrificing a great con score for con -.


Criteria
Natural Attacks
Good Charisma
Relevant Attack Bonus for their CR/ECL
CL 11 with 5 SLA to qualify for Lich-Fiend, or ballpark that can be CL boosted
Con score that won't be missed

Bonus
Creature improves already excellent Hide, Listen, Move Silently, Search, Sense Motive, and Spot skills
Create fills immunity gaps with immunity to cold, electricity, polymorph and mind-affecting.



Potential Candidates

Practical Demonkeeping has a nice list to start on

Lilitu (FCI): Nice set of natural attacks to stack with Paralyzing Touch, SLAs & Spells

Pleasure Devil (FCII): Poison Touch to stack with Paralyzing Touch, high CL on SLAs

Half-Fiend (WE): Customized appropriately

Warlock: Eldritch Claws to deliver Paralyzing Attack

Bone Devil: Advance 1 HD, reasonable SLA support, and good skills to support a sneaky attack into a deadly natural attack combo

Warlocks?

Seriously, 12th level Warlocks pretty much qualify all by themselves...

Hexblade with Practised Spellcaster, the Dark Companion is nice for Save DCs too.

Warlock -> Eldritch Claws to exploit Paralyzing Touch

Shadow Demon (BoVD), needs 1 CL boost or 1HD advancement, good bad-touch synergy, overlapping immunities.
