Profane Gift says:

Profane Gift (Su) Once per day as a full-round action, a succubus may grant a profane gift to a willing humanoid creature by touching it for 1 full round. The target gains a +2 profane bonus to an ability score of his choice. A single creature may have no more than one profane gift from a succubus at a time. As long as the profane gift persists, the succubus can communicate telepathically with the target across any distance (and may use her suggestion spell-like ability through it). A profane gift is removed by dispel evil or dispel chaos. The succubus can remove it as well as a free action (causing 2d6 Charisma drain to the victim, no save).

does this mean you may only have one profane gift? (if so, why not say "a creature may no more than one profane gift at a time") Or does this mean you may only get one profane gift from a particular succubus?


You (as in the person getting the gift) may have no more than one profane gift(as in nothing beyond one, as anything beyond one is more than one and you can't have more than one) from a succubus (meaning any sucubus, not just the succubus that first gave it but from any succubus) at a time (meaning a continued instance in time/space where this effect is in place).

Now if another monster had a profane gift ability and wasn't a succubus then it could give you its profane gift in addition to the succubus' gift, but you can't have more than one profane gift that comes from succubi at a time.
