In death, the graveknight's life force lingers on in its armor, not its corpse, in much the same way that a lich's essence is bound within a phylactery.
If a lich was to make his full plate armor into a phylactery would he become a graveknight as well?
As for how he's got fullplate armor as a spell caster. Dwarven Cleric with Heavy armor proficiency. Thoughts?

I actually had a thought to make a graveknight caster which I've been working on the last couple days, as an alternative to a lich. Basically, I'm using a black Robe of the Archmagi as the graveknight's armour, and assuming that it's made of darkleaf cloth so that it's as durable as full plate would be. (Actually, possibly quite a bit more durable? I think it ends up having a hardness of 20 and 70 hp, but I'm not sure.)
