(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A lich retains the abilities he or she possessed in life, but they also have had a virtual eternity to practice new skills and inevitably become very formidable. The most powerful example of a Lich in D&D is known as Vecna.
Another explanation is that anyone who uses magic to greatly prolong their life will eventually turn into a lich, even if that was not their goal.
Lich is also a city in the district Gießen, Hesse, Germany.
