Lich is better/more expensive than Master Lich?

[PvK]

Apparently the fragility of the Master Lich is intentional, since it is in the (bottom of the)description.

For moderate designs, Lich is certainly a tougher body and better fighter.

But if you're not planning to fight physically, and especially if you are planning to take a very high dominion strength, then the Master Lich can have a meaningful number of extra points to get other stuff.

I dug up this thread, however, wondering about the Lich Queen. I guess again it's about saving points when taking a strong dominion, since that seems to be her only advantage over the Lich (her defense advantage is only from coming with a built-in staff (big deal... well, I guess it helps since if she gets taken out, she doesn't lose that weapon - if the Lich carries a better weapon, it has to be a capturable item).

I tend to use the Lich Queen more often than not when playing any of the themes of Ermor. She has, for example, about the same point cost as a Prince of Death to get to death 9, dominion 6.

Master Lich = Physically Weaker but +1 Misc Slot (Not all that important to an Immortal) Note: The physical stats and vulnerabilities allow you to kill a Master Lich with 1 incinerate. Since the targeting makes a Pretender a priority fighting a ML in their own dominion is the easiest out of the three even though they all have the same vulnerability.
Lich = Physically unintimidating, decent Dominion/Death
Lich Queen = One free point of Dominion, no reason to not use her if you want an Immortal Ermor killing machine/rainbow
