Shami-Amourae, Lady of Delights
Shami-Amourae was a primal succubus, and was once Queen of all Succubi and consort to Demorgorgon himself. As a vestige, she grants abilities that are similar to that of a succubus.
LEGEND: Fluff
SPECIAL REQUIREMENT: You must sprinkle petal-less roses upon her symbol. They become wilted and covered in a foul-smelling ooze upon summoning.
MANIFESTATION: Shami-Amourae rises out of pitch black puddle of ooze, and appears as a young and beautiful human female with marble-hued skin, golden hair, and leathery bat wings, dressed in an elegant white gown that is tattered and ripped. A grey aquatic serpentine tail five feet in length protrudes from behind her, wet and seemingly swimming through unseen currents; and her left arm is nothing but a writhing mass of mucus-dripping tentacles. When Shami-Amourae returns from the void, she will give her summoner a 'come hither' look, and extend her arms awaiting an embrace. If her invitation is refused, she will pout.
SIGN: Vestigial bat wings erupt from the Binder's back, their tongue becomes forked, and their voice becomes more pleasant and lyrical.
INFLUENCE: Being the patron of debased sexuality, under Shami-Amourae's influence, the binder loses all sense of shame. They are not embarrassed of their opinions, their physical appearance, or especially their desires. Additionally, if they see an attractive member of either sex, they must take all reasonable steps towards wooing, romancing, or bedding said person.
GRANTED ABILITIES: Shami-Amourae grants you many of her own succubus abilities, as well as her own unique ability to alter the beauty of others.
Alter Beauty: Shami-Amourae grants the Binder the ability to change the physical appearance of others. For better or worse. A person touched can be granted a +4 Enhancement bonus to their Charisma for as long as the Binder has Shami-Amourae bound. Or as a melee touch attack the Binder can touch an opponent, and cause 1d4 points of Charisma damage as they make them uglier.
Charming Gaze: Succubi have the supernatural ability to charm almost any living creature, and Shami-Amourae grants just such an ability. As a Gaze attack, the Binder replicates the effect of a Charm Monster spell, except even if threatened by the Binder or her allies, the target does not receive the +5 bonus on their Will Save, and the duration is a number of rounds equal to your Effective Binder Level. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again for 5 rounds.
Energy Drain: The Binder drains energy from a mortal it lures into some act of passion, or by simply planting a kiss on the victim. If the target is not willing to be kissed, the Binder must start a grapple, which provokes an attack of opportunity. The Binder’s kiss or embrace bestows one negative level. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again for 5 rounds.
Flight: The vestigial wings prove to be useful. The Binder gains a fly speed of 50 ft. (average) on their turn as a free action, but at the end of her movement, must be on the ground or else she falls. You cannot use this ability if you do not show Shami-Amourae's sign. Once you have used this ability, you cannot do so again for 5 rounds.
Forked Tongue: The Binder receives a competence bonus to their Bluff and Diplomacy skills equal to their Effective Binder Level. You cannot use this ability if you do not show Shami-Amourae's sign.
Telepathy: The Binder gains Telepathy out to 100 ft.
Comments: Shami-Amourae, former Queen of the Succubi before Demorgorgon tossed her in the Wells of Darkness. There's a lot of things I'm not sure on so far, namely balance. I don't know what level to make this Vestige for starters, and I'm not quite satisfied all of the abilities granted are perfect yet. Telepathy, for example, is something all demons have and isn't specific to Succubi. Maybe an Alter Self or some sort of Etherealness ability would be better? I also want to change the Charisma bonus granted by Alter Beauty to something other than Enhancement, so it could stack with most magic equipment, but I'm not sure if that would be too good or not. If others have ideas for better Signs and the minor fluffy details, I'm all ears on that too.
