once again thinking about this sick fucking idea i had for using in a fantasy ttrpg at some point
so you've got a lich BBEG, right. and they're not just going about shit haphazardly, they've planned out their villainous plot centuries in advance, including... countermeasures for any meddlesome heroes trying to stop them.
Countermeasures in the form of specialized soldiers, undead knights infused with power from various sources. Death knights.
Let me set the scene.
Over successive knight encounters, the party grows skilled at countering their increasing number of stolen powers.
Getting around their near-invulnerable armor. Avoiding the acid breath and petrifying gaze. Shielding against the pyrokinesis, dodging the manifested chains.
But each knight is stronger than the last, more power poured into its forsaken metal hide... how long will they be able to hold out...?
