Half-Succubus Paladin

[Ferret]

I agree with Aeson. Maybe just with his first point though.....

It does sound like an interesting idea. If played right.

I'd always kind of assumed that succubi were the base mother for the half-fiend template. After all, it's (loosely) based on the cambions and alu-fiends of earlier editions, who were explicitly the children of succubi. And the fact that succubi are the most likely demons to be having sex with mortals to begin with...

I say go for it. Roleplayed well, a half-demon paladin could be an excellent character. Hopefully that's the case here, and it's not just an attempt to squeeze a few more stat bonuses into the character.

Demiurge out.

Half-succubus paladin. Must be an interesting backstory...

Half-Succubus Paladin.

Standard lawful good paladin...with the half-succubus template.

I'm just gonna...let you digest that one. I'll be in the corner, thumping my head against my desk.

Digested it already. Favoritism to the girlfriend, yes - I can see where that's an issue. The half-succubus? As long as she acts as a paladin, where's the problem?

Ah yes, DM girlfriend favoritism. A classic of the game!

I remember over on Monte Cook's forums someone there introduced me to the idea of Beckyquesting. The DM's gf was named Becky, naturally, and wherever she wanted to go, the party went.

Yep, I think there is a possibility that it should be fine, IF she plays the paladin part, otherwise, B3
(broke beyond belief)...

Of course, why a half-succubus? There can be no buff help to the paladin so the half-succubus is really a hinderance (except for the high CHA bonus). And since she is fighting her nature, I'm sure the lords of Hell would be plotting her downfall at every turn, frankly a party aligned with her becomes pretty much devil fodder after a few sessions. If this is the entrire basis for the campagn thats fine I guess, but I don't know, I would be leary. Talk to your DM and make sure he's thought this through with his BRAIN not his nether regions.

Wizards.com had a full succubus paladin:

Where is the half-succubus template found?

Only tangential to the original post, but I've always liked the idea of having half-fiends of differing parentage recieve different abilities, rather than using the one-size-fits-all half-fiend template. Of course it'd be impossible page-hungry so i can see why Wizards opted to do it the way they did, but I still like the idea of a half-succubus being recognisably different powers-wise from a half-hezrou or half-pit fiend. Maybe there's potential for a nifty 3rd-party pdf supplement in here.

(Of course, I'm the sort of bloke who writes individual templates for the summonable servitors of different gods so that not everyone just goes with boring old 'fiendish' or 'celestial', so it could be reasonably argued I'm a little anal and overly completist about the whole template business...)

I suspect they are using the half-fiend template.
