Spells to take the form of a demon (specifically succubus)?


Rules Questions

Silver Crusade RPG Superstar 2014 Top 16

Hi all,
Are there any spells out there that let you take the form of a demon? I haven't been able to find any, but maybe there's one in a book I don't have?
Thanks!


If you are an outsider, you can use a hat of disguise.


Otherwise, not officially.


You could use polymorph any object.

Boo. I was hoping there was one in some obscure book that would let my gnome become a succubus (not with the powers, but for flavor) without it just being an illusion. I suppose PAO would work in a pinch, though.

As far as polymorph any object goes, I've never used it before. Does it give the abilities of the creatures you polymorph into? As in, if my gnome sorcerer polymorphed herself into a succubus, would that come with succubus powers? I see nothing in the text of the spell saying otherwise.


So it's unclear.

PAO works like other polymorph spells when used to turn into a dragon or other things already covered by the polymorph line of spells.

Since PAO doesn't really provide direction on what you would get from turning into a succubus, and there isn't another spell that covers it I think:
1) Your type definitely does not change, your remain a humanoid(gnome) and you would not get the resistances of being a general outsider.
2) You would probably gain some special abilities of being a succubus, but probably not all. How much would be left up the your GM.

Also, remember Pathfinder is a permissive rule set. It tells you what you are allowed to do, not what you aren't.


Probably one shot would be Synthesist Unchained Summoner with the Demon Eidolon but then you have to be one step within CE

Ah, so this is the type of thing that using it on a PFS character (we're running our very-high-level characters through PFS-legal modules at the moment) would be tough to adjudicate. I'll talk to the GM and see what I might be able to pull off. It might not even be worth my time anyway. LOL


Can you change your race?

You can be a gnomish sized Tiefling. Just fluff your traits and physical description to those similar to a Succubus.

You get your flavor and keep your size, and depending on on the variant Tiefling you use, might keep similar racial stats.

Edit: Actually there is this spell Angelic Aspect. Just refluff what the effects look like. It is from Champions of Purity, but there wasn't a counterpart on the Champions of Corruption. You could ask the GM if they are willing to convert it to an Evil version through Spell Research rules as well.

Succubus?

Mmmmmm hmmmmm. Right.

Watch out for grapplers...

@Skylancer4: No changing race, and no refluffing, since this is for a PFS-legal character. It was just something fun that I came up with based on the use of an illusion to make her look like a succubus to fit into a demon-infested area.. she decided she liked the way she looked, and might enjoy becoming an actual succubus for a short time for some dalliances. :-P


Beast bonded witch is the answer here too. You just have to be level 10, and shunt the mind out of the succubus and take its place.

Indeed. Best to inform one's self on the subject.

Ah, okay. Playing a PFS legal adventure isn't the necessarily the same as actually playing PFS. That was what threw me.

Yep we're running through PFS-legal modules with our "retired" seeker characters. Current we are level 16, and playing through The Moonscar.


A Summoner's Robe can get you a succubus-ish defensive aura, but all that really gives you is darkvision, flight, and resist electricity and fire 20.
