We're about to start an Angels/Demons campaign, and I was looking at making a custom race for the campaign, based on a succubus. My DM and I have been working to set up a variant with an LA +0 to keep it pretty fair, since we're starting the campaign at 14. We were hoping to get some suggestions that may help balance the race a bit. Most of the party are playing lesser Aasimar (the LA +0 variant).
- Medium (Humanoid [Planetouched])
- Racial Skills: +2 Bluff, Diplomacy, Sense Motive
- Racial Abilities: Darkvision 60'
- SLA: Charm Person 1/day, Range: Touch (Charming Presence)
- Attributes: Dex -2, Int +2, Cha +2
- Alignment: Half-Succubi tend to maintain the leanings of their mothers along the L/C axis, but could be anywhere along Good/Evil. Mine personally is Chaotic Neutral.
- Height: 5'5" + 2d4
- Weight: 100, *2d4
- Age: 30 (+1d8, +1d12, +2d10)
Racial Feat:
Voice of the Succubus - Increases Uses of Charm Person to Cha/day, range to Close, 1/day it can be replaced with a Suggestion spell. Requires 8 ranks of Diplomacy.
The physical characteristics are made by slightly reducing the overall characters of a succubus 3.5e race on the wiki.
Thanks to the suggestion of Amechra, flight was removed (we did not realize this was so strong), along with the energy draining kiss (we were kind of afraid this would be a bit too strong). I took out the resistances and bonuses to saves in exchange for the removal of Heritage of Lust (doesn't fit our campaign very well), but also took out the feats that required Heritage of Lust. Would Detect Good as an at-will be too strong to keep in with the loss of the Heritage of Lust weakness?
Based on the recommendation of Djinn_in_Tonic, reduced the +4 to 4 skills to +2 to 3 skills.
