An old English word meaning a corpse. It is present in a number of English place names, notably Lichfield, and can also be spelled lych or lyke; it derives from the Medieval English “lic” meaning a dead body.

In death, wizards of great power are sometimes able to turn themselves into liches. A lich is a skeletal, undead creature, whose magical powers can only be matched by its malevolence. The process of becoming a lich is very painful, but those who are powerful enough to become liches willingly undergo it: Liches are totally immune to any sort of mental attack, poisons, diseases and suchlike. They can also channel magical energy much easier than humans or any of the normal races, making them deadly adversaries. Liches are often seen leading great masses of lesser, undead warriors.

Def 1:
They bore the farmer's lich through the church gate for burial.
Def 2:
Example of play:
Game Master: Climbing from the sarcofogus you see a somewhat dessicated and decayed form, clad in the vestments of the old Karbanthi order of wizards.
Player 1: Crap! It must be a lich. I told you we shouldn't have come down this far into the dungeon.
Player 2: No problem, my character is a cleric. I cast holy smite on this undead. *player rolls dice* I rolled a 12.
Game Master: *checks lich stats, grins evily* The lich grins and bellows in a distant, echoing voice, "Foolish mortals. I am not some simple zombie your gods can knock down. You stand before Kworzathash greatest of the Karbanthi... and I will eat your souls for disturbing my work.
*deadly combat ensues*

A powerful, skeletal, undead creature who casts spells to defend itself. In life, a lich was a powerful spellcaster. When it becomes a lich it is now an unholy creature whos power in casting spells is amplified into a veritable killing machine, via its majicks.
The lich only pointed at his enemy. A beam of dark energy exploded out of his finger and hit the fighter in the chest. He died on the spot.
