Raising a Succubus | EN World Tabletop RPG News & Reviews

Nit-picking on if demons can really make babies or not aside, most "evil spells" have good-aligned counterparts.

Grabbing this from the PFOGC site
Constant—detect good, tongues
At will—charm monster (DC 22), detect thoughts (DC 20), ethereal jaunt (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), suggestion (DC 21), greater teleport (self plus 50 lbs. of objects only), vampiric touch
1/day—dominate person (DC 23), summon (level 3, 1 babau 50%) She also has Energy Drain and Profane Gift.

First, detect good can easily be replaced with detect evil. Seems fitting for a succubus raised by a church. Tongues is alignment neutral and pretty natural for a creature that by design needs to interact with multiple species/socities.
Charm Monster is really neither good or evil, same with Detect thoughts, ethereal jaunt and greater teleport.

Vampiric touch should likely be replaced with some form of healing. Dominate person would also IMO, get a similar replacement, perhaps a simple "UN-dominate person". Seeing as the good-aligned succubus uses her natural seduction ability to smack some sense into those magically dominated.

I'd keep summon, but give her some sort of chaotic good beast instead of a lesser demon.

Profane Gift becomes "Holy Blessing", which does all the same things but is good-aligned.
Energy Drain doesn't really come across well, perhaps something that restores a level? Given that a good-aligned succubus would likely eschew sex entirely, and the use of energy drain is based on well...the deed, I think it could be ignored entirely, or replaced with something flavorfully holy-themed for a rare instance of say...true love(the only opposite to lustful passion that comes to mind).

So you'd have something like this:
Detect Good, Tongues
Charm Monster, Detect Thoughts, Ethereal Jaunt, Greater Teleport.
Greater Heal, Un-Dominate Person.

Holy Blessing, *Something Special*.

I dunno, thoughts...so many. It would make your succubus more of a backup healer than the more melee-oriented base succubus.

, and unique female devils are capable of becoming pregnant.'


I wanted to reference this since I feel it's relevent.

PC's and important other NPCs are considered "unique" in 3.X and beyond. They do not need to hold to traditional racial, social or fantasy tropes because they are PCs and special NPCs.

Given that in an entire demonic spawning pit, they found only one child, I think it would be fair to reason that both child and mother are unique. Perhaps the reason that so many demons were around this particular spawning pit was because of how incredibly rare the child was.

So I would say both the succubus NPC and her mother, whatever sort of creature that was, would be considered "unique" and thus given a pass on having to perfectly align with the rest of their species.
