One of the things that you'll see right off the bat, and this talks about this, like you can't run it wrong, is that if you take the lich's least kind of basic attacks, it should still hit at its challenge rating. And the example is it's multi-attack. So the hit points are fine. 315 hit points at challenge rating 21. That's about 15 hit points per challenge rating. That's really good.

AC 20, lots of other stuff going on. Most of the creatures that have legendary resistance now have more than three. I don't know about that. I think that I've already had players who basically, as soon as they find out that a monster has legendary resistance, they just don't even bother to cast anything that might use it. On the other hand, now you've got topple and stuff like that.

So it could be that you want to have more legendary resistances to deal with stuff like that. Multi-attack. The lich makes three attacks using Eldritch Burst or Paralyzing Touch in any combination. Eldritch Burst does 31 damage. So that's three. So it's doing 90 points of damage just with its action on the assumption that all you're doing is using the multi-attack Eldritch Burst action.

It can also do Paralyzing Touch, but Paralyzing Touch does less damage. So we're not going to look at that. Then you have legendary actions, and you get three of these things. And you have Deathly Teleport. Teleport's 60 feet to an occupied square, and each creature within 10 feet of the space it left takes 11 necrotic damage.

Disrupt Life, which is each creature that isn't in a 20-foot emanation from the lich, takes 31 necrotic damage. and Frightening Gaze, where it can do a fear. So what it can't do is more of those Eldrick bursts as legendary actions, but that's probably okay. So the Deathly Teleport, it can do three times, up to three times, but it's probably gonna do it twice.

So we're gonna look at doing Deathly Teleport twice, which was 22, whenever you're looking at an area attack, the general assumption is you're hitting two targets. Sometimes you hit more, sometimes you hit less, but generally speaking, you can expect to hit two targets. So that means that that's 44 damage.

So we have 93 and then you have disrupt life, which does 31 damage around it, but you count that as 62. So that's plus 62 and that's 199, which gives it a challenge, a damage per challenge rating of,

of 9.4 so about nine damage per challenge rating my benchmark is about seven which means the lich is now hitting good and hard which i think is good what i also like is it's a pretty slim stat block now this one doesn't suffer
