Necrotech Master, Ghost, Amnesia, Life After Undeath, Possession, and Kinetic Lich...

[Professor Sunshine]

Weird question but say you have a venerable character who plays a Necrotech Master and takes the Demonic Obedience feat, selecting Mestama as their patron but they don't put it to use until they have hit Level 20. While they die of old age and become a ghost, they lose the Necrotech Master archetype.

Now say this character becomes afflicted with the Amnesia insanity, takes a level as a Kineticist again, and selects Life After Undeath as their new Level 1 ability. Would they qualify as a Humanoid for the purposes of regaining the Necrotech Master archetype again when their memories are restored?

If the ghost then possessed a humanoid, would they be able to use Omnikinesis to gain the Kinetic Lich wild talent and use the body as the source of the Constitution score?

Lastly, if the character wanted to become an Apostle Kyton, would they qualify as "any living creature of the humanoid or monstrous humanoid type?"

I have no answer, but am deeply curious about the back story here. What is going on?

I'm running a campaign where the BBEG is the ghost of a half-succubus Drow Noble Necrotech Master who possessed a fungal Vault Giant to become a Kinetic Lich. I want it find a way to make it a Kyton but it has to be as RAW as possible because the players are going on quests that end up changing them into the same thing. I'm using the Legendary Games Kineticist material and the Spheres of Power Mythic Kineticist options.

I hope this answers your question. Were you asking about these mechanics, the character backstory, the game backstory, the backstory of why I'd make such an absurd character in the first place?
