hey, looks great ! I just came from Pathfinder and was wondering if i shall cameback on DOS2. I was wondering if someone know if this mod still works please he looks amazing i want to play as a lich ahah ?

The Phylactery doesn't spawn when you create a new character. I made an Undead Lizard Necro tried to get Lich. Didn't work.

Yeah none of the starting skills show up so this is not working also says missing dependencies but I downloaded ALL that was shown.

I selected an Undead Elf and the Lich Preset, yet I didn't start with the Skills mentioned, the Soul Extractor, nor the Staff mentioned either. I started with the Elf Skills, Mosquitos, the Skill that pulls Blood/Poison from bodies and an Ice Skill that calls down 3 Shards of Ice.

What could be causing this to Happen?

I may not be able to save this Campaign as it is one with friends, but I would like to know, so I can try it in future.

when next update?

Great mod! I'm having a lot of fun. Thanks, mate!

Just wanted to say this mod is a game changer for me. I love ice and the abilites are amazing, i believe it was you that showed me how to add the console and pull up abilites from the game in discord. So i always add all the lich powers from each race to my character and i love the death system with being knocked out for a few turns. My brother thinks its OP that i basically never die and he thinks it shouldnt be my turn after dieing. but we love the game being extremely difficult so changing it would probably make it not fun for others. But dang this mod is so amazing.

Also if others are having trouble with the staff. I just use the mod manager book mod that laughingleader also made and i change my preset with that and i immediately get the staff. I just go back to the mirror and change my stats back to how i want them.

great idea with a bit more polish will maybe be one of best

Created new lich character and no phlactary at all

So, I see you mention in the Comments that the Staff "can be crafted" but I cannot see a how to craft it anywhere

mod vypada pekne ale nefunguje ta posatava kterou mate na obrazcich se mi ve hre vubec neukazuje

Do you get more lich skills as you level up, or is what you start with all you get?

Quick note that I was able to begin Act 2 without having to totally disable the mod, but instead just using the debug menu to remove lichdom effects (option 7) before attempting to move onward. This might help keep a save cleaner than otherwise for anyone facing the same issue.

Is there a reason 'Beast' won't turn visually into an undead (lich). The talent 'undead' will only be granted with the Lich preset (LeaderLib) in his case but not via the Lichdom debug menu.

I turned every other origin character into one without problems - except for the wrong amount of talent points. It'll just remove the talents but not adding points back so I need to reset them before manually. But you can at least get the initial point with the Lich preset again.

Isn't it possible to add/remove stat points easily? So it'd be just necessary counting the set, calculating the missing points and adding them afterwards if necessary. Especially when using other mods which give some extra stats it'd prevent gaining the wrong amount.

Maybe the step sound should be turned off for the non-legs-lich somehow

It doesn't give the right spells in character creation. For "Lich" it gives Hail strike, Blood Burst and Mosquito Swarm. NONE of the abilities in the screen shots are available to swap to either.

Everything else seems to work, like the Phylactery.

do you think you can make this mod work with gm game mode?

would you please put out a small release where custom races can receive the lich staff through the mod menu? thank you.

Lastly, some kind of progression system would be great. Like a certain amount of souls to absorb BEFORE your lich powers start to unlock AND killing any enemy with a lich power has a small chance of capturing their soul too. Then the suck soul power is just a guaranteed soul on death. Plus, it would be nice to pick which powers to get as a lich... Blood Sacrifice is nice, but I always play as either a human or lizard... Just ideas. Maybe they could be config options in the LeaderLib menu?

I know I only said one idea but, In D&D there is a demi-lich power that allows for your Phylactery to be enchanted (or nearby a magic item) and gain the full powers of that item. Could there be a way to enchant some other item with your phylactery? Like my BA lich king build (basically a blood night) could have a super piece of armor enchanted as a phylactery so that it's like he's wearing two pieces of armor even without the phylactery being on his person or actively wearing it? The enchantment should require very expensive, but always available items to unenchant the old phylactery and then with the unenchanted one more expensive ingredients to re enchant the new item. It could be available as long as a character has 20k gold or something.

This mod not only works great but it now my favorite path to take in the game... Good or Bad. I have one little suggestion: Could you make it so that the "Phylactery Status" shows how many charges you have in your phylactery when moused over (Or, even better, make it show a little subtext 1,2,3,4... under the little symbol for the skull). The reason I ask for this is, I left my Phylactery on the ship for my honor mode play through and I... well my last 4 play throughs because I lost track of my charges. My own fault but a status would be wonderful.

lichdom isnt appearing in my leader lib suddenly and not spawning the phalactery in my inv so im stuck what do i do

Same here...

@Kyuuketsuki Me to

I'm really looking forward to the next Update

can companions become a lich :0

I choose the preset but I don't become a lich and don't get the staff. I get the skills, attributes, talents, etc. but no lichdom or the items and skills available to a lich. Well, yes, I can fix it by re-choosing the preset from the LeaderLib preset menu, but that kinda breaks the immersion so can you please fix the preset not working?

Weapon expansion!! When are you looking to release that?

@Tempest Late reply, but thanks for the report.

1. This issue seems to be from the game entering a status event loop while the game is transitioning levels. Should hopefully be fixed in the next update.
2. Not sure about this one. I applied the race command in-game today and it worked fine, but things can go wrong when you disable mods that add content to the game (items, characters, skills, statuses, etc). You can get the staff from just applying the Lich preset in the LeaderLib preset menu.
3. Looks like this issue is from the later stages of the phylactery missing the crafting category required for the recipe. Will be fixed in the next update.

Not abandoned, no. Just not enough time in the day to work on Lichdom while trying to get Weapon Expansion ready for release (2 years of mod development on that one now... ).

You can see what I've been working on with Lichdom in the source code commits tab here:
Lichdom Commits [github.com]

I should have an update ready once I test a few things, namely making sure the Act 1 -> Act 2 issue is resolved, and the new extender tooltip stuff is ready.

Mod Abandoned?

kdy bude hotov

I really love this mod, but I ran into a few issues.

1) If Lichdom is active, the game crashes after loading the cutscene when proceeding from Act 1 to Act 2.
2) After disabling and re-enabling Lichdom to get into Act 2, using the Leader Lib menu to change any character's race into a Lich to get the one handed staff causes the game to crash. Tested on both Ifan and a random character recruited from the lizard on the Lady Vengeance.
3) Trying to craft a Lich Staff using a Long Branch and the Phylactery generated by the Soul Extractor only results in an invalid recipe.

Is this mod even being Worked on anymore, Been in "BETA" for over a year

@LaughingLeader Can you make this mod compatible with Divinity Unleashed? The staff damage doesn`t grow as it should per level; the damage is just too low =(

Can you change that? Your mod is amazing.

I also don't get any items from choosing the Lich preset, but I did as Lawor said and spawned it through leaderlib. I also can't seem to find the Staff of the Soulkeeper. There is a "Lich's Staff" in the first chest in the room with the Windego encounter, but it doesn't level with me.

Either way, this whole idea sounds sick. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this mod! Thanks for all the work!

same here, sued preset from very beginning but nothing appeared in inventory

I can´t get the phylactery at spawning. Only through the LeaderLib Mod menue and reseting my preset.

Its a great mod. I love undead and only played Fane in my nearly 600 playhours. The mod is the best adition to my playstyle so far. Keep it up. :)

@ShadowFox It scales with your equipped weapon's attribute, not strength specifically.

The damage for the Drain Soul skill should scale with intelligence not strength

I am having trouble with this. I have only this mod, LeaderLib, and Animations Plus. While loading I get:

"We were unable to create a working story. Your add-on setup might be invalid. The game will continue from the story of the main adventure."

When using the Debug Menu to gain the Phylactery, after going through the transformation process, are you supposed to gain skills? They don't seem to want to show up for me for some reason...

Hi @LaughingLeader ^^
First, thank you for the mod :) And then, i do have a question.

How do you get the Staff ? I did skip act 1. We did it so many times with friends ; For this session, we did use a mod and then skipped Act 1. Am i able to get the staff somewhere in Act 2 ?

Thank you for your help :)

@LaughingLeader Thank you, whatever you tweaked worked and I'm onto the second act. :D

@bpchaos24 Hmm, tested it with about 55 mods. No lockup during that loading screen, but I ended up tweaking a few scripts anyway. Not sure if that'll help in your case.

If you can send me your save (upload it on google drive, dropbox, or onedrive for instance), that may help as it may be something specific in your save causing it.

Awesome, thank you!

Thanks, I'll see if I can recreate the bug / fix it if so. I had a similar issue with my Mimicry mod and it turned out to be the game getting into an infinite status loop when the game is loading. That was when talking to Malady to leave Reaper's Coast.

Yes, to be more specific its right after the battle with Dallis on the Lady Vengeance and you have to talk to Malady to leave the veil.

@bpchaos24 Does this happen when attempting to leave Reaper's Coast?

@LaughingLeader Great mod I'm having a lot of fun with it. However, for some reason I can't seem to move onto the next Act. I only have the three required mods activated and I am stuck on the loading screen, any tips?

Hey there, really cool mod, but I was wondering, do you gain any other unique skills as you level up other than the ones you start with?
