I had to do a little lore research to find what you were referencing. I'm not sure if the ritual was detailed in the Manual of the Planes (is there a different MotP book?) but the Fiendish Codex 2 describes Triel's fall from grace as that of a Celestial being corrupted. (page 65, if you want...

Lawful Evil is a (relatively) easy one, as it only requires roleplay or backstory. Understandably, it'd have to be a good example, as Succubi are demons, which are supposed to exemplify the very essense of Chaos. Going Lawful would be extremely difficult for one. How exactly would you...

... Still not seeing anything that would take her off of the CE alignment, or a reason to do so. Succubi, traditionally, are aware of the fact that they are physically weak, that's why they use their mental domination techniques to seduce or coerce others to do the dirty work for them, while...

I agree with Emoplato. Whether or not you need a different background depends upon whether or not you actually want an alignment beyond CE for your succubus. In my opinion, what you've written up works well; for a vengeance driven, CE demoness. If you want something else, well... you're...

That's why I like the idea of a minimum threshold- i.e, the DR can prevent all but 1 point of damage, so if an attack hits, it will always hurt a little- so that riders like that will always trigger on the character, not on the armor. It also answers the issue of if you take off the armor, how...

Has anyone heard of/played Anima: Beyond Fantasy? If so, what did you think of it?

I concur. I see nothing that would indicate any kind of shift in alignment- even assuming that the succubus somehow came to love the human in the first place. Is there a specific reason why you are looking for the alternate alignment, other than your party thinking about it? If so, having her...

Sounds interesting. I'll have to look into that.

For character creation I usually let the characters pick the alignment that they feel that their character falls under, as a starting point for where their 'alignment gague' is at the beginning of the campaign. It also allows me a sense of where they intend to be on the scale, so I can give...

My preferred method is to define the actions of a character as they play them as they relate to the various axes, and mark when they are moving away from their current alignment. I find that a lot of characters tend to float around neutrality more than they'd think (the lawful character...

So, something that I only just came across today, thanks to the Half-Celestial thread and a snarky remark from Dandu (Thanks, Dandu!). http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/fc/20050824a This article presents a CR 8 Succubus with full access to her abilities, plus two levels of Paladin...

I've been playing 3.X, simply because that is the system I was brought into DnD with, and that is the system that everyone I've been playing with wants to play. I've yet to actually hunker down and look into the Pathfinder materiel, but some of the things that I've been seeing/hearing do look...

I was under the assumption that Half-Celestials were half-celestial because a creature of some sort had an interesting evening with an angel. The alignmnets of one's parents hold no sway over their own alignment- at least, not past the age where they start to think and act for themselves...

Is there anything that says that a detect alignment ability has to be a single alignment? Because it would kind of make sense for her to be able to use both Detect Good, and Detect Evil- so why not just throw it all into one Detect (Good/Evil) ability, and decrease it to, I dunno, 3/day or...

And the good aligned version does the same thing? What is the effect on the receiver when the gift is removed in that case? (Since giving a gift that permanently damages someone isn't exactly a nice thing to do.)

This is awesome stuff, especially if I was planning on making a divinely converted succubus (a succubus version of a redeemed lich, per se) but I don't think the story allows for that kind of drastic changes. I do like swapping out Detect Good for Detect Evil- it makes sense in context and...

Which version are you speaking of? I recall RAW stating that worn armor cannot be sundered. (Never made sense to me, but the DM I was gaming with played it as it was read.) Edit: Semantics- you can't sunder a worn item, but you can attack it directly. Attack roll (provokes AoO) vs AC of 10...

Depends on if you want to go by RAW or not. Alter Self states "You assume the form of a creature of the same type as your normal form." So, if you're targeted by the Aberrate spell, but you're normally a human, then you can only become humanoid using alter self- regardless of what other...

I don't remember- is this a permanent effect? Edit: After looking up the spell, I'd say that while a target is under the spells influence, it is treated exactly the same way you would treat any other aberration- including criticals, healing, and turn abilities. As for Alter Self, the same...

I remember reading a Dragon or Kobold article about the society and making of a Succubus. For instance, the importance of birth sequence and the role of Incubi in the machinations of Succubi and other Tan'ari culture. I distinctly remember reading that a succubus isn't actually born evil- but...
