Description

The Necrotic Lich is a malevolent, undead spellcaster who harnesses the power of death to control lesser undead and bend life to their will. Once a powerful wizard, they have traded their mortal form for a phylactery, anchoring their essence to the world through dark rituals, making them nearly immortal. They speak with an echoing voice that chills the very soul, wielding devastating necromantic spells that can sap the life from their foes or raise an army of the dead.

Create Undead

The Necrotic Lich can use an action to raise up to two Medium or smaller corpses as zombies or skeletons under its control. These undead remain animated for 24 hours or until destroyed.

Life Drain

Necrotic Touch

The Necrotic Lich makes a melee spell attack against a target within 5 feet. On a hit, the target takes 3d8 necrotic damage and must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or have its maximum hit points reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken.

Spellcasting

The Necrotic Lich can cast spells as a 12th-level spellcaster. Its spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 19). It has the following spells prepared: at-will: *Chill Touch, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion*; 3/day each: *Animate Dead, Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch*; 1/day each: *Finger of Death, Cloudkill*.
