Lich Tank (3.5e Optimized Character Build)

Introduction

Generally, divine casters aren't too squishy, but most aren't exactly tanks. However, with a bit of twisting, you can get an incredibly tough divine caster, with DR 24, Fast Healing 21, crazy saves, impossibly good armor class, and fairly good casting.

gollark: Arguably, anything longer than about 35G is rarer than... a lot of rares, I guess?

gollark: Value drops exponentially after CB - unless it's a really rare thing like a prize - until you get to stupidly high generations, at which point it shoots up again.

gollark: There's a weird value curve for dragons, I think.

gollark: Wow, okay then.

gollark: Also, is it just me or have there been lots of CB Thunders about in the Desert?

Highlights

Basically, you get huge defensive synergy with Charisma through Paladin, Battle Dancer, Ascetic Mage and the Dry Lich's Unholy Toughness. In addition, feats and Evolved Undead give you some powerful spell like abilities and good Fast Healing, and Roll With it and the Dry Lich's existing DR give you great DR overall.
