[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6204944, member: 20323"] Yeah, [MENTION=22362]MoutonRustique[/MENTION] got what I was trying to articulate. Here's a concrete example of how you might design the succubus' dominate power: [b]DOMINATE[/b] Close burst 10; one enemy within range; +11 vs Will (if the succubus kisses the target the attack automatically hits, if the succubus has good leverage over the target as judged by the DM she gains combat advantage); [b] Hit:[/b] Until the start of their next turn the target cannot attack the succubus or include her in damaging attacks, and at the start of the target's next turn they are dominated (save ends, becomes permanent on 3rd failed save). Another character within earshot and line of sight of the victim can spend a standard action to attempt to bring them back to their senses before the domination happens (this may require a skill check DC 20, specific role-play, or power use at the DM's discretion), negating the potenial domination. [B]Special:[/b] The succubus may only have one dominated victim at a time. If she willingly releases a dominated victim or they make their save, the victim loses 1 healing surge (or 1/4 of their HP if they have no surges); if this kills the victim their soul is dragged to Hell and they may not be resurrected by the Raise Dead ritual.
