SPECIAL ABILITIES
Earthgift (Su)
This Burst Mode deepens Lich’s connection with the earth and the darkness therein. For a number of rounds equal to 1 + 1 round for every four HD, Lich may apply the Silent Spell and Still Spell feats to any spells he casts of the Dark or Elemental (Earth) schools at no extra cost, and once per round may apply either Enlarge Spell, Extend Spell, or Quicken Spell to any spell he casts at no cost. This limit break requires only a swift action to activate.
Death Cutter (Su)
Once every 1d4 rounds, Lich can make a a single melee attack as a standard action. If it hits, the target takes the damage of the attack and must make a Fortitude save (DC 25) or be inflicted with the Doom status (as the countdown spell, not the doom spell). Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 27).
Death Grip (Su)
Coating his hand in black flames, Lich reaches for a single enemy, making a melee touch attack. If successful, the target takes 8d6 shadow damage, and must make a Fortitude save (DC 25) or be stunned for 2d4 rounds. On a successful save, they are instead staggered for 1 round. If the touch attack was a confirmed critical, then the target is stunned for 4d4 rounds on a failed save, and staggered for 1d3 rounds on a successful save. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 27).
Earthquake (Su)
Lich can cause the ground to erupt around it within a 30-ft.-radius. Creatures within the area of effect take 8d6 points of earth damage and are inflicted with the Weighted status effect. All those in the area of effect must make a Reflex save DC 23 for half damage and negates the status effect. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 23).
Filth Cloud (Su)
Lich can release a breath weapon to creatures in a 30-ft.-cone. Creatures within the area of effect are inflicted with Disease and Poison status for 1d6 rounds, Fortitude save (DC 23) to negate the status effects. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 4th level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 23).
Lvl. 5 Death (Su)
1/day, Lich can call forth a great wraith who scythes at all enemies within a 30 ft. radius of Lich. All creatures with a total HD that is a multiple of 5 must make a Fortitude save (DC 25) or die. Blue mages may learn this ability as a 6th-level spell (Knowledge: Religion DC 27).
