Play a succubus


Advice


Hello, I'm french so sorry for my mistake.

I want to play a succubus like character. So this my build :
Tieffling +2Cha / +2Dex / -2Int or -2Wis =>
Sorcerer 2 (Crossblooded - Fey + Infernal) = +2DC to compulsion and charm
Witch 1-3-5 (Seducer)
Evangelist 6-15 (Noctiluca)
Witch and/or Enchanting Courtesan 16-X

Trait
Charming : You gain a +1 trait bonus when you use Bluff or Diplomacy on a character that is (or could be) sexually attracted to you, and a +1 trait bonus to the save DC of any language-dependent spell you cast on such characters or creatures.
Irrepressible : You can use your Charisma modifier in place of your Wisdom modifier when attempting Will saving throws against charm and compulsion effects.

Feat
1 Spell Focus (Enchantment)
3 Extra Hex (Flight)
5 Fiendish Obedience
7
9
11
13
15
17
19
Greater Spell Focus (Enchantment)
Spell Penetration
Persistent Spell

My questions are :
- What do you think about it ?
- What feat could you advice ?
- How use efficiently Deadly Caress from Nocticula : You must grapple an unwilling creature to use this ability on them ? Because you are a weak melee character BUT you have to grapple. You have low AC, low Constitution... but you have to go in melee.


in the game(PF1) a succubus CR:7 is a monster with a CR above where most PCs start. I think you mean a succubus themed PC.

Race
Tiefling is a good choice, choose the right variant or have your GM tweak one for the right SLA.

Class
For a high CHA PC sorcerer is a good choice. IMO crossblooded is not good, stick to one bloodline. Bards are charming and make a viable option. Arcanist is my other choice and a better class in some ways.
Sorcerer doesn't multiclass well, so just dip 1 level into a class that compliments a sorcerer's abilities. This is also campaign dependent (your Home Game) as challenges tend to be thematic and you want to strtegically respond to that theme.
Generally casters only have 1-2 melee Feats. Combined with 1/2 BAB it makes most melee based attacks and abilities that trigger from them unappealing. Melee defense options are far more practical.

Traits
It is hard to beat +1 Rflx and Fort. If you multiclass from a caster then Magical Knack is required. Some builds use Luck. Magical Lineage, Wayang Spellhunter.

Feats
Spell Penetration is suboptimal unless your campaign features consistent SR challenges.
Spell Focus, Varisian Tattoo, a combat feat and you're 5th level...

an instructive post on Razmiran Priest Thalevoh Wiz-Dvnr w Clr-VarPlgrm 1 > Abacade or Chummany Sor-RazPrst, 2024 but lots of good trait, feat, equip, & spell choices.


A few other options:

Blood conduit Bloodragers can be good at grappling and inflict bad touch spells on enemies.

Their statline also pairs with with a demonblooded tiefling.


Another fitting option for a succubus style character would be a seducer-witch. Charisma based, focus on charm and enchantment. Depending on your and your tables gusto, you might want to talk with you gm to tweak her a little, to make her a little less sexual.
