Editing Lich

=== Other rules clarifications ===

* When you skip an extra turn (e.g. {{Card|Voyage}}), you're also skipping its Clean-up phase. This means you'll discard the {{Card|Voyage}} from play during the Clean-up of the next turn that happens (either yours or another player's).

* It also means if you play Lich and {{Card|Outpost}} in the same turn, you draw 3 cards during Clean-up, skip the {{Card|Outpost}} turn, and then you keep that 3-card hand for your next turn.[http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=21103.msg888025#msg888025]

* If you'll take multiple extra turns at the same time (e.g. one from {{Card|Voyage}} and one from {{Ally|Island Folk}}), you can choose what order they happen in. The first turn you take will be the one that gets skipped by Lich. [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=21123.msg888476#msg888476]

* Some extra turn cards care about the number of turns you've taken; Lich skipping a turn will not count towards that number. So if on your regular turn, you play Lich and 2 {{Card|Voyage}}s, Lich skips one of the {{Card|Voyage}}s and you get the other {{Card|Voyage}} turn.

* However, Lich cannot skip a turn that never happens. So if on an {{Ally|Island Folk}} turn, you play Lich and {{Card|Voyage}}, Lich will not skip that {{Card|Voyage}} turn, because {{Card|Voyage}} won't let you 3 turns in a row.

* Cards that check what you did on a previous turn (like {{Card|Smugglers}}) will check the turn that you actually played. So if you skip a turn with Lich, and the next player plays a {{Card|Smugglers}}, it doesn't check the skipped turn, and instead checks the last turn you played (which will usually be the same turn that you played Lich). [http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=21130.msg888708#msg888708]

* Similarly, cards that check the owner of the previous turn (e.g. {{Card|Voyage}}) will check the last turn that was actually played. So if all the other players have skipped their turns with Lich, your {{Card|Voyage}} will fail.

* If you trash multiple cards at once, you put them all into the trash, then resolve on-trash effects. So if you use {{Card|Sentinel}} to trash a Lich and a {{Card|Sycophant}}, the Lich can gain the {{Card|Sycophant}}.

* If you {{Card|Possession|Possess}} a player and make them trash a Lich, you can choose to either put the Lich in their discard pile, or set it aside, to put in their discard pile at the end of the turn. Either way, you will still gain a cheaper card from the trash.

* When you trash this from the Supply (with {{Card|Lurker}}), you still discard the Lich (into your own discard pile) and gain a cheaper card from the trash. Discarding the Lich this way doesn't count as gaining it.

For me, "here is inspiration for a card" absolutely does not carry with it "copy the inspiration as much as possible." "Reverse {{Card|Tactician}}" has zero obligation to have +Buy. I wouldn't necessarily even start with +Buy and then work from there. I'd start wherever. Lich's inspiration was [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lich "be a Lich."] This does happen to line it up with reverse {{Card|Tactician}}.

{{Quote|Text=<p>"Skip a turn" means exactly what everyone will know it means despite having fun questions, and there's a rulebook. "Skip your next turn, but this is cumulative somehow okay" was not as good of a wording.</p><p>As always cards try to avoid making players look in the rulebook, which they tend to absolutely never want to do.</p><p>Many people were consulted on the card wordings, in addition to how fun and balanced they were; this is the result. If I'd had better wordings for any cards they'd have them; if any card didn't seem worth the wording it would get, it didn't make it out.</p>
