Aasimar / Tiefling Twins


Advice


I'm working on a character concept for the next campaign I'm a part in. The concept is actually an unusual pair of Twins, one an Aasimar the other a Tiefling. I intend to use the Instructor Wizard archetype to have both in play from 1st Level, however what I'm looking for some advice on is more to do with racial options.

Conceptual Idea is that their mother was a Succubus and their Father any sort of Celestial being, likely a fallen angel, or even perhaps an Aasimar himself. I'd like to have some options that reflect their heritage particularly that of their mother's as a Succubus. Be it Alternate Racial Traits, Variant Heritages, Feats, or even class/archetype options.

Just wondering what my options are to accomplish this. Since obviously, the Aasimar doesn't inherently have and demonic options (besides Lost Promise which requires Evil alignment), and the Tiefling seems to lack a clear option for a Succubus-kin.


Someone that is the direct descendant of an Outsider, like a Succubus, is often more likely to be a Half-Fiend or Half-Celestial (if a Good Aligned outsider), rather than an Aasimar or Tiefling. Those two races tend to be DISTANTLY related to the outsiders, rather than directly.

There is a Half-Succubus template if that helps any.


Wizard archetypes include the pact wizard (FF version, I'd suggest) which could be demonic.

A tiefling of succubus descent might have the beguiling liar alternate racial trait. An aasimar might be similar to the peri-blooded option ('Masters of fire magic, emberkin feel the dual pull of their peri forebear as well as that of a fallen angel further down their ancestry, and wrestle with their urges to do both good and evil.') even if they weren't technically peri-blooded.

Would prefer to avoid options with alignment restrictions, and the Half-Succubus template is an alteration to the Half-fiend template which requires Any Evil. Besides, I highly doubt my DM would permit the use of templates on player characters unless granted by a class or a story development in session.

The Pact Wizard doesn't really have anything to offer for this concept... it just alters your familiar to be an outsider, forces an alignment restriction on the wizard, and adds an extra opposition school... it has no real impact on the character other than adding extra restrictions to their wizard class. Ok, So it appears it may have actually been the HHH version that you meant to direct me to. The HHH Pact Wizard does seem to have some potential with the Enchantment Patron. But it doesn't stack with Instructor, so only the Apprentice would be eligible for it...

While the Peri-blooded option for Aasimar feels like a decent option, the Tiefling still feels lacking... partially due to the Tieflings -2 Cha penality, but all of the variant heritages that grant a +2 Cha bonus seem even more out of place... plus I'm not sure if I can combine a Variant Heritage with an Alternate Racial Trait that replaces Skilled or Spell-like Ability
