I disagree with the lich (or any transformation) lossing a set amount of strength (stats) reguardless of level. I like the uniqueness of the build as is. A inexperienced player building a lich quickly vs a experience player taking his time. If your willing to put in the effort you should be rewarded for that effort. I hate the idea of cookie cutter transformations. A one size fits all idea maybe ideal for the guy who wants everything fast and now. It's dusk, not burger king...
