I was statting up a villain - a witch who crossed over into lichdom, and pondering the inevitable three questions: what was her phylactery, where did she keep it, and how was it defended?
Since Madame Archenko has not been a lich long, has only moderate monetary resources, and her house is relatively secure, it seemed like the right combination for her. Certainly, she wants a more secure hiding place, and one better guarded - but she's enough of an obsessive control freak that she needs to be able to assure herself that her soul remains safe, and that she can be certain her phylactery is untouched.
Other liches, of course, come up with other solutions to this pressing problem of guarding phylacteries, and I was wondering what other solutions GMs have come up with for liches. And I thought if I were wondering, surely others might, as well.
Any thoughts?
