Tiny Lich Request?

Postby Thilindel » Tue Dec 19, 2006 10:42 pm

Can they be 'it' as in neuter? Since skeletons and some other undead are 'its' in game it would fit the theme better I guess. I know vampires n stuff aren't neuter but lich hardly has a body.

Liches still have their sense of self.... therefor they'd still be male or female.

It's mainly that when you create undead, it'll say a ghast xxx itself. Wight xxx itself, etc. Just seems to fit into the theme. How can something having very little flesh, whilst rotting, have a gender? :P

I don't want to be an it. :P My lich is still a him. I'd dislike his change as a lich, regardless.

Because a ghast and wight are mindless minions raised by an outside force. Liches choose to become undead, are very much sentient and retain a personality, therefore they would retain a gender. Heck, there's no reason one shouldn't want to whistle as a pretty girl goes by... even if he can't do anything else about it.

And if you don't want to go with mental/emotional identity, recall how archaeologists can tell which gender a skeleton is. Each of the undead types (negating weirdness like a skeleton of a gelly cube, etc) has a skeleton, and thus a physical gender. Quite meaningless for most of the population, but a gender.
