I love the classic Van Richten books a lot of good ideas that can work in any edition or setting.

Like the psionic lich.

Small correction. Baelnorn Liches are of good alignment most of the time.

Hi, I just discovered you with this video. I like the style you have, you have a nice voice to listen to. Anyway, back to my question. Do you think it is possible for a lich to be good? Something like a path of redemption, or that although he did bad things, he did them to save someone...

Thanks again my friend!
Okay gotta ask. WHERE did you get that AWESOME Map of The Sword Coast shown at T.S. 1:00 ? I love it! 🥰

I feel like this leaves out the new lore on liches and the steps to become one as printed in the 5e book Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy. In that book there is no mention of Orcus or praying to him and the ritual even mentions you can choose to consume the souls of fiends instead of humans, allowing a wizard to actually be Good instead of Evil by consuming demons and devils.
