is there any way to build this character concept?

[Neutral_Lich]

my favorite type of characters in pathfinder are necromancers i have always found them to be iconic of tabletop rpgs

one character i have always tried to do is one who through study and intelligence (not through gods) has found the power to defy death both for himself and others

in pf1 i used a spell sage to get access the the resurrection spells, so i was wondering if there is anything similar on p2e

Not currently. Check back when pf2 comes out next year.

damn not even with multi-classing?

i remember somewhere in the sorcerer page where its says your magic is disconnected from it source so maybe a wizard/sorcerer with demon blood could pull it off?

Thing is in the playtest there are no spells to create undead, only feats and maybe spells to control them. And the only immortality effect is currently a Monk's Timeless Body.

Though I suppose there is the Resurrection ritual and Divine Sorcerer multiclass could get you Raise Dead, though you'll never quite get it to top level and any spell roll required (if there is one) will be Cha based.

As an aside if non-deity Clerics are still a thing that could work if the flavor of understanding magic by wisdom instead of intelligence works for you.

Resurrection is handled by rituals, and rituals are accessible to anyone who can a) find some way to learn them and b) have sufficient proficiency in the relevant skill. All you need is two friends and Expert in Religion and you're fine.

A lot of rituals, including resurrection, require more than one participant. You're the only one who needs to know the ritual, but you do require at least two other people to help you (acolytes, friends, intelligent undead servants, whatever).

oh my god and they are gonna make animate dead into a ritual as well?

that is literally the worst possible thing you can do to a necromancer

how i'm going to hide i'm a necromancer if i need 2 acolytes with me all the time the party is gonna realize it the moment they show up

and where in the hell i'm going to find 2 evil acolytes at low levels? or even worse what if the adventure is on a forest

why would anyone think this is a good idea?

'Raise dead' {an uncommon spell} can bring people back from the dead, so if you have access to the spell, you would be able to do it yourself {though is a bit more restrictive, as the target can be dead no longer than 3 days, versus the year grace period the 'Resurrection' ritual gives you.}

The Resurrection Ritual {also Uncommon} can learned by anyone {even outside a casting class} though you do need to be an 'Expert' in Religion, and it does require two other people to help. In addition {while both the ritual and spell can fail due to time elapsing, Pharasma saying no, and the soul unwilling to return} the ritual can also fail due to failing the check {and on a critical failure even allow an evil sprit to possess the body instead, turning it into an undead or worse}.

As far as any undead making spells/rituals, Paizo did not place them into the playtest, but I believe have stated it will be in the final product. Although, I guess if you really wanted to make an undead, you could try the Resurrection Ritual, intentionally critically fail it, and hope the 'or worse' option does not pop up.
