The lich master is the alternate upgrade of the lich, the fifth-level creature of the Necropolis in Heroes of Might and Magic V.

On their death, the most experienced necromancers have the honour of becoming Lich Masters, elite troops of the armies of Heresh.^OffBck

The lich master lacks the Death Cloud ability, but has slightly better stats than the archlich, and Raise Dead can sometimes be more useful than Decay and Weakness.

Abilities

• Undead - This creature is not alive (like all other Necropolis creatures) and its morale is always neutral. It cannot be affected by Poison- , Blind- or Mind-related magic.^OffBck
• Shooter - This creature can inflict damage remotely. When distance from target is longer than half the battle field, the target only suffers half of the damage. Shooters cannot use the range attack when blocked by enemy creatures. If there is no ammo cart in the army, the shots are limited to available ammo.^OffBck
• Large creature - This creature is bigger than others and occupies four squares on the field.^OffBck
• Caster - This creature can use a set of magical spells similar to those cast by heroes. Mana reserve is limited but always set to maximum at the beginning of combat. Spellpower depends on the number of creatures (activated ability).^OffBck
