Players, do you dream of becoming a lich but find that the consumption of souls is a bit much? Or does your wise DM point out that a PC lich would unbalance the game and be unfair to PCs burdened with mere life? Your dream can now become reality as you master the Rilan Nexus and become a semi-lich! Some restrictions might apply, not legal in all realities.
PC necromancers often dream of becoming liches but allowing this can create problems in a campaign involving issues of fairness and balance. The semi-lich was created to allow a PC to make a slow transition towards undeath without being unbalanced or unfair to other players.
This sourcebook adds the Rilan Reborn lineage for PCs who want an undead style character as well as the mechanism by which a PC can gradually replace their positive energy with negative energy and become a Master of the Rilan Nexus or, as they are derogatorily called by true liches, a semi-lich.
The semi-lich is designed to be fair and balanced by connecting the semi-lich abilities to a special magic item, the Rilan Nexus, that uses an attunement slot. The semi-lich can also be modified to fit the balance needs of specific campaigns.
A player version of the PDF is included, allowing the DM to share the mechanics without giving away the history of the semi-lich.
