Particularly at Higher ECLs.Like: How would you handle something like a succubus?I'd rework it into a class. Possibly one with inborn spell levels (instead of SLAs) - so the Succubus would cast either cleric or wizard or Sorc spells for an example: Then, after taking the Succubus Levels, you continue to gain spells like you were counting your succubus levels. However, your caster class abilities other than spellcasting start at level 1.This is less true to the monster manual, but IMO makes a SLA monster a more playable option. Give it spells from whatever class you consider most suiting, and if necessary, add the SLAs into the spell list where appropriate. If a SLA is non-combat, and at will, (such as tongues) then just leave it.</blockquote>
