<Core Lich subrace>[edit]
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma increases by 2 and Intelligence by 1.
Phylactery Core. Becoming a Valhalian Lich you gain a phylactery in the form of a magic core that powers your new found form and hungers for combat. It feasts upon your kills creating essence to power itself (3 essence pr kill boss=DMs descretion).
When you drop at or below 0 hp your body shuts down and core goes dorment it uses the last bit of energy left to protect itself gains +1 ac pr 5 essence and 5 successful hits to destroy.
At the second round if the core (and sub core's if unlocked) has not been destroyed it powers back on consuming 15 essence and reanimates you at 1/2 health on your main core or at any sub core you have. The subcore starts to shake rapidly and starts forming the body around it finishing in about 12 seconds (2 rounds).
If destroyed while in dorment state unleashes a backlash of magical energy shattering all objects on the body doing a mix of piercing and magic damage out to 60ft around the core equal to the amount of essence left before shutdown x1 pr 3 levels.
