** '''Fighter''': The Death March originated as an ancient warrior who has slain countless lives before claiming his own, and continues slaying greater foes even in undeath. Playing into the militaristic aspect of Fighters, The Death March amasses [[CavalryOfTheDead an army of the undead]] by [[YourSoulIsMine conscripting those they have have bested in combat]], subsequently making any one of them the lich's potential phylactery, thus making the "lich" [[HiveMind a massive collective of the undead]] constantly searching for new members.
** '''Ranger''': The Carrion Hunter consists of a Ranger who [[BondCreatures pair-bonds with an animal companion]] as they complete an extensive hunting ritual together, culminating in them claiming their final marks: each other. Not only do they both become liches, they also ''become each other's phylacteries'', enabling them to remain as [[TheDividual an immortal hunting duo]] that will never truly be alone for long.

** '''Fighter''': The '''Artificer:''' ''The Necromaton'' is defined by their phylactery, a robotic vessel constructed by the would-be-lich that would eventually house their immortal soul and a biological component necessary to anchor them in lichdom. Even as a MechanicalAbomination capable of creating [[BodyBackupDrive more machines to act as their backup vessels]], they remain bound by the need for flesh to remain a lich, and since flesh decays faster than steel, this leads them to regularly hunt victims as raw materials to continue staving off death.
** '''Barbarian:''' ''The Scourge'' is a warrior who pledged to their pact of lichdom by becoming [[ThePowerOfHate entirely driven by anger and hate]], eternally stuck in a blinding, searing rage that destroys their mortal body but still persists when they become undead. Their phylactery is anyone who themselves have a violent hate towards the lich -- most likely survivors of their wrath [[PayEvilUntoEvil desperately seeking revenge]] -- always ensuring that even if slain, the lich will live on in the hearts of the wrathful.

Pointy Hat (also known as Antonio Demico) is an artist and Website/YouTube creator, focusing on ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. He specializes in creating homebrew content, with the specific purpose of giving it a twist that feels fresh within the constraints of the game, hence the name of his first and most prominent show, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin D&D with a Twist]]. Other series he's known for include:
* [[PunBasedTitle Tip of the Hat]], which provides advice to both [[GameMaster DMs]] and Players on how to make the game itself more enjoyable and fresh (Essentially, D&D with a Twist applied to D&D itself).
* [[OurLichesAreDifferent Which Lich]], which focuses exclusively on liches, making a powerful undead monster based on each class.
* [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Drag-On Race]], which is the same concept as Which Lich, [[RecycledPremise but with dragons]].

* OurLichesAreDifferent: The point of "Which Lich" is to brainstorm a lich based on each player class. Hat lists a few necessary criteria for what makes a proper ''D&D'' lich: they have to deliberately choose being undead, they have to [[RitualMagic perform a ritual]] in order to become a lich, they need a [[SoulJar phylactery]], and they have to be an active villain to does villainous things in order to remain an immortal lich (ie, ''not'' [[OrcusOnHisThrone sitting on a throne all day waiting for the heroes to defeat them]]).

Despite the length of the example, it's ZCE that neglect to explain why and how it's example of Sitcom Arch Nemesis. Since the trope is about two characters, this is most likely misuse.


* SitcomArchNemesis: Pointy's general demeanor towards Dragons and Alignment rules. This is mainly because of his opinions on both concepts (Thinking dragons are overused in D&D without having much actual mysticism behind them, and thinking that alignment rules, as they are, just constrain character creation and general roleplay).
