[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 8393113, member: 20323"] One thing I did with a [B]shadow demon [/B]a while back was that if it used the Hide action to conceal itself within a humanoid's shadow, it could move with that humanoid as a reaction. And while thus hidden, any attempts to detect the demon's presence (e.g. Divine Sense, or [I]detect evil and good[/I]) would detect that humanoid as being a fiend, without detecting the actual shadow fiend. There were several weaknesses to this, such as moving faster than the shadow demon, using bright light at multiple angles to expose it, casting [I]dispel evil and good [/I]on the humanoid, turning the humanoid invisible, even a [I]darkness [/I]spell, etc. I think you could do something similar with a [B]succubus[/B], so that any creature charmed by her appears as a fiend to Divine Sense or [I]detect evil and good. [/I]How powerful you make this will depend on the weaknesses you create for it, but you might have it so that the charm effect TRANSFERS the fiendish radiation from the succubus to her victim, so as long as she has someone charmed, she won't be revealed to Divine Sense or [I]detect evil and good. [/I]Another option would be that she still radiated fiendish evil, but anyone who has been charmed by here within some time span (e.g. 1 week) still radiated fiendish evil – so you end up with multiple suspicious parties, only one of which will be the succubus, creating a sort of mystery to solve.
