Verified against the KB (bestiary/lich.md, Bestiary Lich CR 12):
- bab 8 -> 5 ('Base Atk +5')
- Paralyzing Touch attack_bonus 10 -> 5 ('Melee touch +5 (1d8+5 plus
paralyzing touch)') and marked natural: true (template: 'A lich has a
touch attack that it can use once per round as a natural weapon [...]
treated as a primary natural weapon' - no BAB iteratives per e5691bd)
- damage_bonus 5 -> 0: the +5 (1 point per 2 HD) is already in the
1d8+5 formula and _resolve_swing adds damage_bonus on top (double
counting: the old data dealt 1d8+10)
- ac 25/14/23 -> 23/14/21 ('AC 23, touch 14, flat-footed 21'; touch was
already correct)
- saves 10/10/14 -> 6/7/11 ('Fort +6, Ref +7, Will +11')
- con_score 14 -> 10: 'Being undead, a lich has no Constitution score'
(Con '—'); the int-only schema encodes 'no score' as the neutral 10
(modifier +0), inert anyway since undead are destroyed at hp <= 0.
Left as intentional engine tuning (residual divergences, documented in
the final report): hp 100 vs 111, Str 12 vs 10, Int 20 vs 22,
initiative +6 vs +2, fear aura 30 ft/DC 22 vs 60 ft/DC 18.
Golden transcript untouched (the lich wins via Magic Missile before any
weapon swing; MM DC depends on Int, unchanged). Pinned a new
test_json_matches_srd_stat_block.
SRD Undead/Construct traits: 'immediately destroyed when reduced to 0 hit
points or fewer' — undead and constructs have no Constitution score, so
the PF1e hp <= -CON death rule does not apply to them.
- combat.py: CombatantState.death_threshold returns 0 for creature_type
undead/construct (in addition to the opt-in dies_at_zero flag)
- tests: TestUndeadDeathThreshold pins undead dead at 0 and below, living
keeps the disabled band at 0 and the dying band down to -CON
- golden unchanged: tammara-vs-lich has the lich winning in 1 round
without taking damage
