Succubus [Lesser Tanar'ri]

Usually a succubus poses as a flawless, cream-skinned human woman; demihuman guises are possible, but humans fall faster. Her true form adds broad wings and eyes that glow with sly malice. She speaks her quarry's language and can also talk mind to mind.

Never surprised, she still avoids fights, fleeing when she can and punching with both fists (1d3 each) when cornered. Only +2 or better weapons harm her, and no fire of any kind can touch her.

Each kiss she shares with a lover tears away one level of life energy, yet the passion is so consuming that he needs a Wisdom check at -4, rolled per drain, to notice. Failing, he carries on regardless. Beyond the standard tanar'ri powers she can use ESP, suggestion, charm person, clairaudience, plane shift, become ethereal (as oil of etherealness), and shapechange into humanoid forms near her own size. Once a day she may try to gate in one balor, with a 40% chance.

Glabrezu court the powerful; a succubus picks driven, fiery men, wins them slowly, and carries their life force to the Abyss. She obeys no one, an arrangement her superiors accept. The rarer male incubus hunts mortal women on the Prime as the ideal man of their race. The two kinds never breed; sages guess men are simply easier to trap with beauty.

Each ruined mortal adds strength to the Abyss, which feeds the endless war between demons and devils. That is why other tanar'ri tolerate her.
