Lich

Driven by ambition, some powerful spellcasters attempt to cheat death itself. Those who succeed become Liches. Those who fail are cast into the Abyss.

A lich has most of the usual undead immunities, specifically to critical hits, disease, level drain, ability drain, mind-affecting spells, paralysis, poison, and sneak attacks. However, a lich does not have the usual undead immunity to death magic.

The attacks of a lich stun on-hit. In addition, the level 12 and 20 versions of this creature have use of an Aura of Fear once per day, and the level 20 version has a Doom Gaze thrice per day. The level 16 version instead has use of an Aura of Unnatural three times per day.

A lich is a wizard with its caster level equal to its hit dice. The exact spells available to this creature depend upon which version it is, with the possibilities listed below.
