A Biomechanical Lich in Dungeons & Dragons is a fusion of necromantic undeath and advanced technology, combining the arcane mastery of a lich with the precision and resilience of machinery. Unlike traditional liches, which rely on dark magic and phylacteries to sustain their immortality, a biomechanical lich enhances its undead form with mechanical augmentations, cybernetic enhancements, or magitech implants. These modifications can replace decayed flesh with metal plating, integrate arcane circuitry into bones, or infuse the body with self-repairing nanites or necrotic energy conduits.

The transformation into a biomechanical lich often involves a fusion of necromantic rituals and technological experimentation. Some seek out lost civilizations’ forgotten magitech, while others turn to sinister artificers or extraplanar entities like Inevitables or modrons to acquire the necessary enhancements. Their phylactery might be a data core, a soul-powered reactor, or even a constantly replicating virus that allows them to reconstruct their form upon destruction.

Mechanically, a biomechanical lich retains the formidable spellcasting abilities of a traditional lich but gains additional resistances, enhanced durability, and possibly integrated weaponry. It might have mechanical limbs that function as arcane foci, the ability to interface with constructs or artificial beings, or a necrotic energy field that drains life from nearby foes. Depending on the campaign setting, they could be found in arcane laboratories, ancient ruins filled with clockwork horrors, or even dystopian cityscapes where magic and technology intertwine.

A biomechanical lich serves as a terrifying fusion of the unnatural and the artificial, an immortal being unshackled from the frailties of flesh while wielding both technological and magical supremacy. Whether as a villainous mastermind, a tragic figure seeking perfection, or a remnant of a long-forgotten age, it embodies the fear of what happens when undeath and technology merge beyond mortal control.
