The '''Succubus''' is a demonic incarnation of lust and desire. Specializing in manipulating others by their loves, lusts, and even more subtle things, they, as all Demons, are typically out to corrupt and destroy things of the mortal world, and especially angels. | The '''Succubus''' is a demonic incarnation of lust and desire.

| - | Not all Succubi, however, are horrific destroyers of all that is nice in the world. Being beings of chaos as well, there are several (well, infinite, but only a fraction of the infinity of the entire Succubus race, which is a fraction of the infinity of all demons) Succubus clans that are more interested in just plain having fun on - and with - the Material Plane and those that exist there. The common nickname for these type - who are easier to find on the Material plane than the more destructive sort - is "Apacubus", short for "Apathetic Succubus". | + | Not all Succubi, however, are horrific destroyers of all that is nice in the world.

The common nickname for these type - who are easier to find on the Material plane than the more destructive sort - is "Apacubus", short for "Apathetic Succubus". They personally prefer the term "Freesoul" when given the chance - some more vehement about it than others, although Apathetic or Apacubus are almost ''always'' insulting. |
| - | The easiest way to tell | + | The easiest way to tell a Freesoul from a "Corruptor" - the name for all non-Freesouls, the ones who are usually an active threat - is to watch them a little. Freesouls tend to flit from one interest to another, while Corruptors inevitably have some scheme that they are working on. Also, if they recognize you as a demon hunter, know you know they're a demon, and don't immediately start scheming against you, they're ''assuredly'' a freesoul. |

Male and female Freesouls tend to have some mild emnity, typically expressed in a mile-wide competitive streak - those outside view this as a ''writ large'' version of the idea of a battle of the sexes. Notably, this doesn't apply to non-Freesoul Succubi/Incubi. |

The "Corruptor" maintains natural Succubus powers - a fully-leveled Corruptor has the standard Succubus talents. The "Freesoul" re-masters her lust-related powers, but doesn't bother with her evil-related powers, instead taking less boring/destructive new talents. |

The cost of this trade is the disconnection of the Succubus from their abyssal power sources - forcing them to relearn almost all of their abilities to use the native magics of the Material Plane instead. |

| + | |||
| + | Not all Succubi are horrendous, world-destroying consumers of all that is sacred. The nature of Chaos makes a surprising number of Succubi - in some worlds, as many as half of all that arrive on the Material Plane - into a quite different, altogether more tolerable beast. | ||
| + | |||
| + | These type of Succubi hate being called Apathetic, but as far as their capacity for evil goes, that's precisely the right word. While they are still utterly amoral and chaotic, they're not really out to spread corruption and destruction. They simply want to have fun, often viewing the Material Plane as an endlessly complex toy (if one that needs quite a few safety warnings). The Succubus who uses her poison immunity to drink entire bars under the table, the one who perfectly card sharks local masters, and most importantly for most PCs, the ones who will voluntarily, ''without significant ulterior motives'', adventure alongside groups are some of the exemplars of the Freesoul Succubus. | ||
| + | |||
| + | They start off as a more mild Chaotic Evil - simply amoral, and viewing things like laws as an inherent buzzkill. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Freesoul Succubi completely ignore developing their evil-related powers - Unholy Blight's really, ''really'' useful when you're out to destroy a group of angels who are mucking up your plans, but not so much if you'd rather settle whatever subtle differences you have over a game of cards or something. Instead, they develop their talents for manipulation and enchantment even further. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Note that Freesoul Succubi are ''not careless''. They can develop relationships with people, develop emotionally, and those without a Demonic Sponsor have good reason to be ''very'' scared of death. Demons are known for fighting each other, but Freesoul Succubi are especially prone to fighting non-Freesouls if the alternative is their giant toy getting destroyed/messed up, or a friend getting messed with. (This doesn't, however, qualify as a good act.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Prerequisites''' | ||
| + | |||
| + | :''Race'': Succubus | ||
| + | :''Alignment'': Chaotic Evil. Unlike Corruptors, Freesoul Succubi need only ''start'' as Chaotic Evil - they do not lose abilities nor the ability to level as Freesoul for ceasing to be chaotic or evil. | ||
| + | :''Class'': A Freesoul Succubus can ''never'' take levels in any other Succubus-specific racial progression. If they wish to switch to a new type ''for any reason'', they must make a new Trade of Materialism to lose all Corruptor levels. (A generous DM can let them keep their Experience, and spend some significant period of offscreen time to redevelop their powers in their new progression.) | ||
| + | :''Special'': Freesoul Succubi ''must'' have made a Trade of Materialism - the powers of an Apathetic come ''solely'' from the RE-development of their talents, and are ''never'' inherent. | ||
| + | |||
| + | <<<BOX OF ALL THE NUMBERS HERE>>> | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''HD''': d8 | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Skills''': 6+Int | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Prowess''': 4 per level. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Proficiencies:''' Succubi are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, along with the whip and spiked chain, but not with any armor or with shields. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Freesoul Powers (Sp):''' A Freesoul Succubus has a significant pool of magical charge they may tap into daily - one charge per level in the Freesoul progression, plus one per three levels in other classes (round down). | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Telepathy (Sp):''' A Freesoul Succubus develops the power of Telepathy as they grow their talents. All abilities here have a range of 10 feet per level. All may be switched on or off at will. | ||
| + | * At 2nd level, they become able to accurately sense the emotions of others. This grants them an inherent +5 to Sense Motive checks whenever the subject is concealing their feelings. | ||
| + | * At 5th level, they become able to read the thoughts of intelligent beings - however, if the being's primary language is not one they know, they can only get a loose idea of what they're thinking. | ||
| + | * At 8th level, they can fully telepathically communicate with others who share at least one language with them. (With Tongues active, this extends to any language, and thus they can communicate any intelligent creature.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Spell Resistance (Sp):''' While their connection to the Material Plane makes them less resistant to magic than most Succubi, Freesoul Succubi do still have some resistance to magic - getting one Spell Resistance per level in Freesoul Succubus, plus one per three class levels (whether or not they're in Freesoul succubus) at 5th level or above. | ||
| + | (MATHMATH: Level 20 total with maxed Freesoul has SR 16. Level 5 FS has 6 SR, only gaining one from the per-three-class-levels.) | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Damage Reduction (Su):''' A Succubus' beauty does not tarnish easily - especially not by the hands of weapons. Strikes against them partially regenerate in a matter of seconds, effectively reducing the damage taken by an amount equal to their level in Freesoul Succubus. Note, however, that their Damage Reduction entirely fails against good-aligned attack sources. | ||
| + | * At 1st level, the damage reduction can be beaten by a weapon of at least +1 enchantment, or a weapon made of Cold Iron. | ||
| + | * At 5th level, half of the damage reduction can no longer be beaten by cold iron; all of it can be beaten by a weapon of +2 enchantment. | ||
| + | * At 10th level, only weapons of +2 enchantment can beat the damage reduction at all, and then only half. Weapons of +3 enchantment can entirely beat it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Shift Details (Su):''' A Freesoul of 3rd level gains the ability to shift some details of all their forms. Specifically, their hair color and length, facial features (including color of lips and eyes), and breast size become available for them to change freely (within reason, pervs). This ability grants a +5 bonus to Disguise checks if used while creating a disguise. This applies to all three of their forms from Shift Shape. | ||
| + | |||
| + | '''Change Shape (Su):''' A Freesoul of 6th level can take the shape of any Small or Medium humanoid (including choosing exactly which aspects of her half-human or full-Succubus forms she wishes to keep). The +10 bonus to Disguise checks overrides and replaces the +5 bonus from ''Shift Details''. Otherwise, all details are as the d20 SRD Change Shape ability. | ||

| + | '''Partial Energy Drain (Su):''' A Freesoul Succubus doesn't develop their Energy Draining as much as a Corruptor, but occasionally, being able to temporarily weaken someone by making out with them is kind of handy. At 5th level, once per day, they can drain a level from a victim with a kiss or more significant act of passion, placing one negative level on them - however, the victim does not need to make a save to avoid the level loss becoming permanent. A victim who loses all levels from this does ''not'' die, but is unconscious for 24 hours. At 8th level, they can use this three times per day, and at 10th level, at will. | ||

| + | '''Language Development (Su/Sp):''' At every 2nd level, a Freesoul Succubus can learn any one language reasonably available to her. At 8th level, her language mastery becomes literally magical, as she comes under the effect of a permanent Tongues spell. (She still flat-out learns languages at 8th and 10th, still, but any language she's so much as heard a single word of is now available to learn for these.) | ||
