Dwandek
Creature 17 (unique) — undead, unholy
Pre-Remaster content. May include legacy alignment.
A wizard whose insatiable desire for arcane power eclipsed their mortal life, the lich is a truly devious and versatile spellcaster. To gain more time to complete their goals, some desperate spellcasters pursue immortality by embracing undeath. After long years of research and the creation of a special container called a soul cage , a spellcaster takes the final step by imbibing a deadly concoction or casting dreadful incantations that transform them into a lich.

Abilities
Counterspell —
Rejuvenation (arcane) — When a lich is destroyed, its soul immediately transfers to its Soul Cage . A lich can be permanently destroyed only if its soul cage is found and destroyed.
Resist Arcane Magic — Frequency once per day
Trigger Dwandek attempts a save against an arcane spell but hasn't rolled yet
Effect Dwandek automatically succeeds at his save against the triggering spell.
Resistance 5 to Damage from Arcane Spells —
Void Healing — Negative Healing
Void Shroud (aura, death) — 30 feet. The lich is surrounded by an aura of death, drawing forth souls to be consumed by the lich's constant hunger.
Living creatures in the emanation take a -2 status penalty to saves against fear and death effects. In addition, any creature that starts its turn in the area gains the Doomed 1 condition unless it succeeds at a DC 35 Will save against the lich's spell DC-4.
Drain Soul Cage — Frequency once per day
Effect Dwandek taps into his Soul Cage's power to cast any arcane spell up to 9th rank, even if the spell being cast is not one of the lich's prepared spells.
The lich's soul cage doesn't need to be present for the lich to use this ability.
Paralyzing Touch (arcane, curse, incapacitation) — A creature damaged by the lich's hand Strike must succeed at a DC 38 Fortitude save.
The creature becomes Paralyzed for 1 round on a failure. On a critical failure, the creature is paralyzed permanently, falls Prone, and seems dead. A DC 25 Medicine check reveals the victim is alive.
Unflinching Spellcasting — If a reaction would disrupt Dwandek's spellcasting action, Dwandek attempts a DC 12 Flat. On a success, the action isn't disrupted.
