Questioning Regarding the Succubus Alternate Spellcasting list (Monster Class: Succubus)


Advice and Rules Questions


So that is a obvious no brainer for me to take, but my question is in regard to the bonus spells listed at the appropriate spell level for her. Does she add those to her spells known when she reaches the appropriate spell level to cast them, or does she have to spend Spell Known slots to learn them? My initial thought is that she would get those automatically.

This is from the Dreamscarred Press Monster Classes series of pdfs. This particular option basically allows you to trade in your Succubus spell-like abilities for the ability to cast spells from the Cleric Spell like but with a Bards number of spells known and spells per day, ruled by your charisma on all things spell related.

Personally I would not change the spell-like abilities by spells, if I had wanted a cleric, I become a cleric and not a succubus.

If I am going to play as a succubus then I play as a succubus, I do not understand why some people insist on using the succubus as if it were another class, like a Bard, Fighter, Sorcerer, Cleric, Paladin or Antipaladin.

I would recommend better designing a Prestige Class suitable for her when she finishes her succubus levels, which will improve her innate abilities as mentioned in the Savage Species book, instead of using generic normal classes not optimized for her.

For example, that class of prestige optimized for succubus, could make the charms undetectable by detect magic spell, detect charm spell or detec evil spell. Also the prestige class could make her add her charisma bonuses to all her saves and her armor class. It could also make her alignment undetectable as if she used mind blank and maybe improving her social skills. It is a world of possibilities. Could, that kind of prestige could give her several types of magical aura to fight with multiple enemies or a debuff skill that improved their kisses.

The reason for this is because she would start as a level 7 character. So she could directly use a prestige class, and what better than that kind of prestige be optimized to enhance her sucubus powers, fix her weaknesses and make her more lethal.
