SPECIAL ABILITIES

Fear Aura (Su)

Creatures of less than 5 HD in a 60-foot radius that look at this lich must succeed on a DC 18 Will save or become frightened. Creatures with 5 HD or more must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or be shaken for 12 rounds. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by her fear aura for 24 hours. This is a mind-affecting fear effect.

Paralyzing Touch (Su)

Any living creature the lich hits with her touch attack must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or be permanently paralyzed. Remove paralysis or any spell that can remove a curse can free the victim (see bestow curse, DC 18). The effect cannot be dispelled. Anyone paralyzed by this lich seems dead, though a DC 20 Perception check or a DC 15 Heal check reveals that the victim is still alive.

Rejuvenation (Su)

If this lich is destroyed, her phylactery immediately begins to rebuild her body nearby. This process takes 1d10 days—if the body is destroyed before that time passes, the phylactery merely starts the process anew. After this time passes, the lich wakens fully healed (albeit without any gear she left behind on her old body.)

Editor’s Note
If you are using this character outside of the Adventure Path, please keep in mind that the CR of this creature is reduced due to the fact that she only has a couple of spells left and has no equipment. She is otherwise a completely normal lich under the effects of an unhallow spell.
