Lich

Tickitok: /* Notes */

{{RaceTemplate|Name=Lich|Description=Lichs are the most feared of the skeletal undead. Although they were a normal race before they died, the decay and corruption makes their former race hard to determine. Lichs lose some constitution for being dead, but gain charisma for their formidable presence. In fact, they walk around with a weak aura of fear at all times. Like other skeletal undead, they take half-damage from piercing or slashing weapons, are never hungry or thirsty, have infravision, stink of grime and decay, take damage from positive healing spells, are healed by negative energy spells, and are immune to poison, mind, gas, paralysis, disease, and negative energy attacks.

===Notes===

*[[Necromancer(Cleric)|Necromancers]] must die while level 30 or higher to become a Lich.
*As undead, Liches only recover hit point from [[Prayer_HealUndead|Heal Undead]], a level 14 [[Necromancer(Cleric)|Necromancer]] prayer. This prayer may be available in potion form or from the Necromancer Past Life I achievement.
*Note, while Liches can become [[Minstrel(Bard)|Minstrel]], they do not qualify for the [[Bard(Bard)|Bard]] class. In order to become a Minstrel, a Lich must start as an [[Apprentice(Commoner)|Apprentice]], and then TRAIN to become a [[Minstrel(Bard)|Minstrel]].

__NOTOC__
=How to Play=
Like all mages, enchanter is a powerful and multifaceted class. Thanks to the general spellpool you have access to high burst-damage, a toolbox to cover nearly any situation, and solid spells to overcome a mages natural frailty. One might think that a lack of abjuration would sacrifice that final point, but in my experience this is not the case.

In combat, you will, of course, have access to all the powerful damage-dealing nonsense that mage is packed with. Elemental spells ([[Spell_Lightning|Lightning Bolt]], [[Spell_Fireball|Fireball]], [[Spell_ShockingGrasp|Shocking Grasp]], [[Spell_AcidArrow|Acid Arrow]], etc.) all deal significant damage, and are even more devastating when paired with the Weakness to X spells ([[Spell_WeaknessFire|Weakness to Fire]], [[Spell_WeaknessElectricity|Weakness to Electricity]], [[Spell_WeaknessAcid|Weakness to Acid]], etc.). The lack of abjuration spells might seem concerning at first, but an experienced mage player will quickly realize that it isn't as big an issue as it might appear at first glance. At lower levels, weapon damage is mitigated using spells like [[Spell_Blur|Blur]], [[Spell_Shield|Shield]], and [[Spell_Flameshield|Flameshield]]. At higher levels, those same roles are filled with [[Spell_CombatPrecognition|Combat Precognition]] and [[Spell_ImprovedInvisibility|Improved Invisibility]]. All of which, you'll notice, are NOT abjuration.

Furthermore, Enchanter has access to crippling debuffs in [[Spell_Hunger|Endless Hunger]] and [[Spell_Fatigue|Fatigue]] (which will cause even more trouble for enemies), the ability to have long-lasting allies, as their [[Spell_Charm|Charm]] and [[Spell_Enthrall|Enthrall]] spells will last longer due to being an enchanter, a slight edge in all checks against enemies via [[Spell_Advancement|Advancement]], and finally the ability to avoid all damage entirely by [[Spell_Geas|Geas]]ing or [[Spell_Command|Command]]ing their opponent to [[AUTOMELEE|Automelee]] while having automelee toggled off themselves.

That isn't to say that enchanter is without flaws, however. While the loss of abjuration is not felt against those who use weapons or natural attacks to deal damage, against fellow spellcasters the impact is enormous. Spells that would normally keep a mage safe from other spellcasters are inaccessible to enchanter, creating an immediate imbalance for any enchanter that may face one. [[Spell_MajorGlobe|Greater Globe]], [[Spell_Counterspell|Counterspell]], [[Spell_SpellTurning|Spell Turning]], [[Spell_MindBlock|Mind Block]], [[Spell_SongShield|Song]]/[[Spell_PrayerShield|Prayer]]/[[Spell_ChantShield|Chant]] shields, and all of the Resist X ([[Spell_ResistFire|Resist Fire]], [[Spell_ResistPoison|Resist Poison]], [[Spell_ResistParalyzation|Resist Paralysis]], etc.) spells all gone, leaving the enchanter as defenseless as a fighter, but with FAR less hit points to survive the incoming damage.

Be wary of casters.

<I>I have memory and awareness but I have no shape or form,

As a disembodied spirit I am dead and yet unborn

I see the gods in battle rage on high, Thunderbolts across the sky

I cannot move, I cannot hide, I feel a silent scream begin inside

Then all at once the chaos ceased a stillness fell, a sudden peace

The warriors felt my silent cry And stayed their struggle, mystified</I>

Tickitok: /* History of the World */

{{CoffeeMUDWikiTOC}}
{{CoffeeMUDDietiesTOC}}

CoffeeMUD has a unique pantheon of gods: The Alra-Paranian pantheon.

==History of the World==
It is known among the sages that the god Alram was given the job of molding a place on which to set the plan of life in motion. He created a universe of brightly lit torches, and by their light was able to construct a flat plain of earth on which life could be sustained. The goddess Malla brought the sun into existence and set it to spin around the world, providing a day and night. The gods together (or under direction) agreed on a scheme of order and amusement and purpose, all of which would be embodied in the world. On this world then Alram placed plants and the seas, which would sustain the first life. Paran than created men and elves, the embodiment of the worlds high purpose, alone possessing reason. Alram created the dwarves and the gnomes, being tied to the earth and to its fruits. The god Lorti then taught the peoples government and wise counsel, around which they could find order. Bella gave them wisdom and capacity for knowledge, that they might have dominion over the lesser creatures. Lastly, Malla taught them peace, that they may temper the gifts of Lorti.

And with the flourishing of the world, each of these gods then created deities to aid their creations and themselves. These deities also called gods and goddesses answer the calls of their greater brothers and sisters while leading the peoples of the lands and oceans.

So the world as intended by the gods was made, and the thus began its journey when the god Kortamus, opposed to the domain of good and order, then created his own peoples to occupy the world. He borrowed from the creations of Alram and Paran, distorting them until he had introduced chaos and evil to the other peoples, thus giving them free will, and making the destiny of the world no longer certain. And so thus the world now stands, divided and struggling to right itself after the deeds of Kortamus.

==List of Major Gods==
*Alram - Alram is the god of Nature and Creativity. Having molded the world from the raw materials of his thought, he is believed by his worshipers to be the King of the Gods.
*Paran - Paran is the god of Sentience and Passion. Considered the second most powerful god, he watches over all of his beloved children, the thinking and feeling races of the realm.
*Lorti - Lorti is the god of War, and the Rule of men over each other. His worship is usually found in military and fighter ranks, and his Clerics among the most respected as both tacticians and supressors of insurrection or revolt.
*Malla - Malla is the goddess of peace and light. It is from her beauty that the good powers of magic flow into the world, and her nature which inspires brotherhood.
*Bella - Bella is the goddess of knowledge and wisdom, whose plea is that all beings seek and attain the highest enlightenment during their time.
*Kortamus - Kortamus is the evil god of Chaos. Although originally a creative and inspiring member of the realm of gods, he was eventually cast out for his cruel and vicious pursuit of trivial pleasures and arbitrary goals at all cost.
*Cygnus - Cygnus is the god of balance. He was granted gifts from all of the gods to maintain order amongst the gods. He is worshipped by crafters, diplomats and bureaucrats.

==Worshipping==
Each deity has their own portfolio of allowed worshipers. Worshipers who fall out of grace with their deity will eventually be rebuked by their deity, suffering a huge loss of experience.

===Converting===

===Blessings===

===Services===
Services are performed on (un)holy grounds by clerics for their congregation. Each deity has a specific set of instructions for performing services. At the completion of the service all worshippers will receive (TBD).

===Notes===
*If a Deity's ability results in the death of your enemy, you will earn very little experience for the kill, since all deities are much higher level than players.
