You can see your character model, if you really want to, but you will pay for it with 500 damage. Just hit yourself with Ignite Bones while lich is up. The Illusion from Ignite will overwrite the one from Lich, then wear off in a few of seconds. Once it wears off, you will be you again and still keep the Lich buff.
actually insane tech, i did not know this

Has anyone tried looking through walls while in shrunken skelly form after self-nuking with Ignite Bones? Does that work? Or entering the Hole?

Is the iksar passive that huge and game breaking to the point i should stick to iksar? Im just not wanting to be an animalistic necro lol. I want good visuals BUT i want to have good race choice as well and dont want to make the worst necro possible.
"Must" is an overstatement. Iksar regeneration is an absolutely fantastic racial perk for a necromancer and one that you should go after if you care about min-maxing, but this is a 25 year old game. That level of min-max just isn't required.

The VP staff, when you use it regularly, does help a great deal in leveling the playing field, but keep in mind the long cast time and needing a target to devour. If you're burning enough HP that you need to keep the recourse going, you're looking at using up about 22% of your active time just casting the stick. That goes up to about 29% if you're using beads to get a target.

Or perhaps consider this in another context: Even with VP staff, would you turn down 2 free, non-droppable zHearts that don't take up equipment slots if given the chance? Or turn down a necro unique Ring10 with a buff that stacks with normal Ring10?

I'll tell ya, the VP staff really is nice, but it isn't so nice that I've felt either of those two items or iksar passive regen becomes inconsequential. Then again, when I necro I'm also using a Manna Robe to canni dance while in Demi-Lich so I can push upwards of +72 mana a tick, while also throwing out Shadowbonds. To me, there is no such thing as too much HP regen, lol.

Take the regen if you care about your character having every advantage, but be aware that nothing about this game requires it. Do it for you if it's important to you. If it's more important to you that you have a different race's aesthetics or that you remake your classic EQ character here on p1999, do that instead.

I finally get your warrior hate. You're mad at yourself for not making it an Erudite.

Lots of streamers on youtube doing entire playthroughs. Not one iksar necro. I've seen human, de, and erudite though. Just saying. For being "the best" it's strange. Make whatever looks good to you. You will have to stare at it for a long time.

You're a skeleton most of the time so not being Iksar makes it thrice as stupid. It's literally the only class/race combo I would say you will regret if you don't do it
