[QUOTE="Wycen, post: 6049701, member: 13732"] Well, are you asking for philosophical curiosity or trying to figure something out for a game you're playing? Is a being who is the essence of chaos and evil capable of love or is it lust or something else? Giving birth to a child, was it done for her lover because they wanted it or just because? I could argue that it is evil because she's going to know that down the road she'll have a loyal, or at least indebted servant. Have you read the Planescape comic from the Hellbound boxed set? That has a love story between 2 evil demons. Well, one demon who may have loved a greater demon and a greater demon who was possibly just enjoying a fling and just happens to see the lesser demon who "loved" her before she dies. The alignment system is wonky so don't put too much faith into it. If by "Good" you mean the succubus is suddenly being compassionate to strangers and doing charity work and such, I'd say I wouldn't buy it. She may in fact be "Good" to those she already has a relationship with, but who gives a crap about the people outsider her circle. If you haven't already read it, find a copy of Colin McComb's Faces of Evil: The Fiends. Here is something from an old game of mine which is sort of similar. Alu-fiend of chaotic neutral alignment meets up with mortal of neutral alignment. They hook up at first by contract. She'll be a body guard. But through trials and tribulations she finds herself trusting him. We'll ignore the fact the guy hooks up with other chicks, but he had a supernaturally high Charisma, and that's a whole other story. Trust leads to friendship, friendship to something more. Oh, we are talking about decades of time passing. At some point, I vaguely recall asking a question to either Colin or some other 2E DnD bigwig. It was about an alu-fiend's choices, but I don't remember my exact question anymore. But I do remember the jist of the answer. Eventually the alu-fiend has to make a choice. Since she's only half a fiend, she can choose, does she embrace the mortal side of her soul or the fiend side? For a similar story, check out Viconia the drow NPC from the Baldur's Gate computer game. [/QUOTE]
