Alu Demon--Cambion


Dragon Magazine General Discussion

Dark Archive

These 2 are the children of Succubi and a mortal (specifically a human) whereas the other combinations typically result in a tiefling. I have seen the Fiend templates and level progressions (unearthed arcana/complete mage) but I was really expecting either of the Fiendish Codex (I especially) to contain these since monster manual 1 typically had them... but no luck.

I would love to see these brought to light for Dragon

I too would like to see more on cambions and alu-demons as each have interesting playing developments from both pc and npc standpoints; it is always heroic for special heroes to try to battle their own hearts blackness to stand in the light of good; always good roleplaying aspects as they strattle the fence trying to decide with side to fight on. Some development of these half breeds like from MM2 would be nice.

I know. It was like they were a staple back in the day, then "poof" oh, they're just half-fiend templated humans.
That's that.


yeah, or some race with a demon outsider bloodline; doesn't really have the same thunder; am hoping for something like the old days with prince/lord half breeds and commoner demon half breeds with some variation by what race and power level was mixed. i think this would be of interest to a lot of gms and players and rather see it in a regulated product than just make up my own; which I will do if it doesnt come out in the next year.

Yeah, I really can't respect "Iuz the half-fiend" as much. He just seems somehow weakened by the addition of only a +4 CR template instead of being a powerful Cambion. BTW--when will we see Iuz in Dragon? Could he make an appearance with the article on Cambions?


That is a very good idea, I always loved those half-demons. Just slapping a template on them won´t do them justice, somehow.

And don´t be mistaken, Iuz isn´t "just a Cambion". Start with his parents, and already there it is clear that he is no ordinary cambion (if such a thing even exists). For some tantalizing hints, read "Iuz the Evil" (SHC, for those in the know). As was said once for Vecna: He was once known as the Arch-Lich, bus has left this paltry honorific long behind him since.

Iuz would make a prime example of what a Cambion can reach, perhaps with his stats given in several stages: "Young Cambion", "Dark Hero", "Sinister Overlord", "aspiring Godling", "evil Demigod", or something like this. Just some ideas...
