Uma criatura destruída com a classe de modelo lich aparece a algumas milhas de distância seu filactério
A coluna Web de Progressos Selvagens da Wizards of the Coast "Classes de Modelos Lich e Weretiger" inclui em sua descrição do caráter de classe da classe de modelos lich o seguinte texto:
Once the phylactery has been completed, the lich can avoid permanent destruction as long as her phylactery survives. If she dies or is destroyed, she reappears 1d10 days after her old body's death. She gains her new physical form by grafting her undead spirit to a humanoid corpse, mindless undead, or some weak-minded creature within a few miles of her phylactery. The new body has all the abilities and powers of her old one, though any items she used to carry are lost (probably taken by those who slew her old body). Likewise, any spells or effects bound to her old body with permanency do not spontaneously appear on her new one. Most liches who recover from death spend a year or more tracking down their items and learning more about their attackers, and it is not unusual for a lich to wait decades before exacting her revenge.
Ênfase minha. Não se sabe se o mesmo vale para as liches básicas de all , mas sem orientação adicional isso parece ser uma regra boa o suficiente.
