Heavy Duty: 16d12

Normal Duty: 12d8

What does this refer to? Are there different versions of lich? 12d8 seems awfully low for something as powerful as a lich.
I don't know what your copy of SoD says, but mine says this:

Quote:
Necromantic Neuro-Link
Bipedal Assembly
Catalog 666-13B
Arcane Feedback Terminated
Power Supply:
Negative Energy Plane
16d12 Continuous Duty
Overload Followers:
12d8 Intermittent Duty

Class Sorcerer
(italics mine)

I believe that 12d8 "intermittent duty" refers to Redcloak in some way, since it's his job to keep Xykon on full HP. Neither Harm nor any of the Inflict spells work like that though. Maybe it refers to Redcloak's hit dice at the time?
