Succubus sorcerer

[jumpydady]

so I was thinking in making a npc sorc sucubus that wears leather and uses whip, some kind of devious seducer that loves pain and can cast fire spell (based on the Succubus - Lilim on heroes of might and magic VI ), the prob is wat bloodline to take?

theoricaly she should have abyssal or infernal but the bloodline abilities would be overlaping all with her own natural abilities, so how to solve the dilema? if i choose another bloodline which one should I take?

[Deadmanwalking]

Elemental - Fire, maybe? Or Fey, depending on her focus, spell-wise.

humm something funny is to know wat would happen if a certain type of creature is a sorc and is using its own type as bloodline, wat would happen to its own bloodline abilities, and her natural abilies :P

anyway fire bloodline seems good

She could dominate person once per day using her sucubus powers and as many times as she can using sorceress powers. The energy resistances given by the bloodline would be redundant and not apply.

Unless you really want her to be nasty don't make her into something that covers all her weaknesses, and the Abysal bloodline is flavorful with the charm DC increase. I'd just stick with that.

humm i was thinking in something like crossblood sorc inferno/fire or fey/fire :P

If you want to go Goth Chick Succubus Dominatrix, you could make her Necromancy focused, maybe with the Sanguine bloodline and the Tattooed Sorcerer archetype, for a +2 caster level with Necromancy spells.

Any Sorcerer can pick up a couple of fire spells. You're going to burn a lot of feats on blasting, though, if you want to be really good at it.

Also, I'd second Fey bloodline as a good choice for a Succubus if you like using Enchantment [Compulsion] spells.

I'd go with the abyssal and not worry about the overlap, or the arcane bloodline. Unless you have a good reason to do so, I wouldn't give her other bloodlines.

I once made a succubus sorceress, but she didn't wear armor, in fact, she didn't wear anything but gold and gems. She carried an aspergillum with burning othur paste and cast stinking cloud and cloud kill a lot.

Good times.

ok thx for the advice, i think i know wat to put then

[Remco Sommeling]

arcane is pretty much the default bloodline, you will run into the same thing with dragons if you give them sorc levels. As a GM I might homebrew a bloodline that does match without being redundant, probably mixing arcane and demonic. The epic charisma would be high enough to ensure the succubus is CR worthy though so you might not have to worry too much about giving her redundant bloodline powers.
