Hi all,
I have a bunch of questions. I asked Ed a year ago but he's a busy man, right ? So here there are for you :
1/ I was wandering how incantatrixes are seen by the church of Mystra ?
2/ Could an incantatrix be a High priestess of Mystra ?
3/ Could Mystra let a High priestess becoming a good-aligned lich that live "forever" in the depths of one of her temple ?
Thanks

They are more or less metamagic specialists. One of incantatrix organizations hunts Cult of the Dragon, and is named Sorority of the Silver Fire. The founders of which included a Rashemaar witches and a rumored daughter of Alustriel.
How much of a foregone conclusion do you think it is?

Why not? It's not like that church doesn't have more than its share of multiclass arcane MU.

A priestess would probably want to go to her deity.
Anyway, the question is "what for?" - archliches tend to have a specific "big" purpose. |

To protect the treasures and artefacts of the deity that are stored in the temple ; she would forever be (as a archlich) the guardian of these treasures. This high prietress is also the founder of the temple (we are talking of the House of Wonders in Waterdeep). |

Possible, but Mystra have many sorts of servants... and then there are wards and other inanimate measures.
Specifically Waterdeep isn't the place where a temple of Mystra is likely to be attacked with enough of force that they'll need a lich to hold until allies arrive. IMHO. Behind-the-scene observation, keeping tabs, counter-espionage management wth long memory and so on don't require a lich.
Either way, when a loyal worshipper of Azuth or Mystra volunteers to stick around as their "special servant", and deities think it's a good idea, usually they make one a Shadowstaff. |

Incantatars/trixes are one of the most powerful prestige classes in the game. They'd be valued in ANY church.

Thanks TBeholder and LordofBones for your replies. Shadowstaff seems a good way to do what I wanna do.
Except from The Magister, do you know where I can find this "monster" ? I'm running a 3.5 version of D&D. |
