If you don't know, then you might not want to ask.

I would not suggest Googling it either.

Synergy bonus from 5+ ranks in Escape Artist. Why, what did you think it was? :smallamused:

You KNOW what he thought it was :smallbiggrin:

[Devronq]

Here let me send this link from bible black it will explain why.... kidding kidding also I don't suggest Googling Bible black ether. ...

[Gale]

Because sex.
Or more specifically, because they're succubi.
Do you need further clarification?

[Snowbluff]

Um, because of all of that charisma?

[Spuddles]

Go on......

[Gale]

Well, you see when a Mommy and Daddy love each other very much...

[Greenish]

I would not suggest Googling it either.Actually, googling "succubus binding" brings up mostly WoW stuff (there's a quest for warlocks to bind a succubus so they can summon it), and a few occult sites where you bind the magical mystical powers of a succubus to your soul with rites involving eating basil-flavoured soup.

Because as Outsiders they have a lot of experience being bound by mortals, and some of that experience rubs off on them.

Well, there ya go. Succubi get a bonus to binding to symbolically reference how powerful and difficult it is to bind a succubus with magic.

Huh. Bible Black (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjO13_BT4_Q) is one of my favorite songs (though it's official music video is stupid, the band apparently had nothing to do with it). Now I know why a few people I know snickered when I first told them about it.

[Karnith]

I still think that it was funnier back in 3.0 when Succubi had ranks in Ride.

(On a related note, I'm wondering why they didn't keep the Wisdom check to notice that you've been Energy Drained. As is now it's completely nebulous and undefined whether you notice.)

[AMFV]

It's because Vestiges love a good looking lady...

[Slipperychicken]

Succubi enjoy how rope feels on their skin, so when they get to bed, they tend to tie up rope hammocks to sleep in. Since hammocks break every so often, they usually have some experience re-binding the rope so they can quickly get back to sleep.

Succubi also keep their exploits in rope-bound books, for the traditional aesthetic. Normally, it's important to keep a good diary to record all the times you kiss boys, but succubi kiss a *lot* of boys, so they need to have a lot of rope-bound diaries to record it all.


Also, I'm pretty sure you'd notice something giving you -5 hit points. That's enough to knock most people unconscious.

[Snowbluff]

Yeah, what I was thinking and why I wrote that post. What I said was a reeeeeally roundabout way of saying this. :smalltongue:

[AMFV]

Although I think that might imply that if a Succubus is a binder that they can use ropes in the ritual for a higher binder level or something to that effect, that's pretty amusing in and of itself.

important part bolded, and you all missed it *giggle*

[Scow2]

Also, I'm pretty sure you'd notice something giving you -5 hit points. That's enough to knock most people unconscious.Those people die instantly. Those that don't wouldn't notice because it cuts off from the top without affecting CON, instead of giving a difference in Max/Total HP. A level 5 Wizard isn't in constant pain because he has 20 fewer HP than a level 5 Fighter - both are still at Max Health.

So that's why basil-flavoured soup is so satisfying...

But did you remember to turn off SafeSearch?:smallamused:

[Kane0]

I see someone pressed the insinuation button.

[Spuddles]

Well, you see when a Mommy and Daddy love each other very much...

And then??

[Alleran]

What's more interesting is that a Succubus might have a +3 with bindings, but a Solar has a +7.

That +4 is just to tease you.

Now that you mention it, yeah, the astral deva, planetar and solar have ranks in use rope as well. :smalltongue:

Well, you understand, all of those good outsiders need to bind the Succubi.:smallbiggrin:

Wait, so does this mean Angels vs Demons is like the D&D Fantasy equivalent of Pirates vs Ninjas?

:elan:

Don't given Élan any ideas.

[Angelalex242]

Well, ya know, when half celestials are being brought into the world, sometimes, the celestial feels the need to...express dominance over their mortal lover...

And the succubus? Well...ya know. So much easier to drain people when they can't run away. ;)

[Alleran]

Some enjoy it more than others.
It's important to enjoy what you do, though.

[MeiLeTeng]

Well, you see when a Mommy and Daddy love each other very much...

Well, they don't really have to love each other.

[ShadowFireLance]

This thread is going to go nowhere except down.

Right into those rope bindings. :smalltongue:

Can someone.please explain the soup references?

[Kelb_Panthera]

Can someone.please explain the soup references?

Someone mentioned basil soup in passing and a running gag around these parts that's left over from the edition wars is a mockery of people arguing which edition of d&d is "better" by arguing over which flavor of ice cream is better. I suspect this was an attempt to start up an echo of that in "arguing" over which flavor of soup is better.



..... Oh dear. I've killed another one. Stupid fragile jokes.

[LordChaos13]

Actually it was a reference to Basil Soup being used as part of a WoW quest line involving binding succubi

[Kelb_Panthera]

Well I do utterly lack any experience with WoW so I can see how I'd miss that. :smalltongue:

I mean, no real people are doing it, just bots. How is that video relevant? I closed the tab after two seconds of ear-destruction.

The song's title is "S&M" and the chorus...

Well, it's relevant.

Binding?
S&M is... I'll private message it to you.

I know what S&M is. I told you, I closed it after two seconds because I felt like it was destroying my ears. As such, I did not have a chance to pay attention to the lyrics.

Also, I initially thought it was spam, so I closed it partly out of habit.

[EugeneVoid]

Oh.
Sorry, mate.
Next time, I'll add a warning.
Heck, I'll add it now.

[The Viscount]

Wait, so does this mean Angels vs Demons is like the D&D Fantasy equivalent of Pirates vs Ninjas?

Edit: Pirate Demons vs Ninja Angels. Discuss.

Daring Outlaw Swashbuckler/Rogue/Dread Pirate makes for a very thematic and pretty tough pirate.

As for ninja, I suppose the devas might PrC into Dread Commando and then into Ninja Spy.

That would make for a pretty interesting fight. I give edge to Pirate.

You've clearly been eating the wrong soups.

No Soup For You!

I knew it! The Soup Nazi's are hoarding all the basil-flavoured soups! They wish to hoard the demons' lusty powers for themselves!

[Isamu Dyson]

Why is there no Celestial counterpart to the Succubus?

[Lord_Gareth]

Why is there no Celestial counterpart to the Succubus?

Because giving people stuff in exchange for moral behavior is Evil's schtick. Good doesn't tempt you, it rewards you; Good's paradigm is about being spiritually uplifted, experiencing joy and peace as part of your life, and being able to enjoy physical pleasures without being lost in them. While there are Good celestials that are sexual, and powerfully so (see Eladrins sometime) there are none who try to lead people into Good through carnal pleasure because that's just not how Good works.

It'd be like an angel who wanders around paying charitable people money. It's...weird. And tacky.

[Isamu Dyson]

Actually, a carnally focused Good-aligned Outsider sounds perfect for the clergy of Sharess (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Sharess).

The Foe of Set's sexual portfolio is primarily Chaotic in nature (note the emphasis on hedonism, free love, and the wild, fierce joy of life). The Tawny Temptress is Chaotic; the Foe of Set is Good. She's not dissimilar to Eladrins in that way.
