Succubus

A succubus is a Navirite predator that takes the form most desirable to the prey they are trying to entrap. In their natural form they are about the size of a human, with black, soulless eyes, bat-like wings, and horns.

Like most Navirites, they suffer weakness to cold iron, while normal weapons do little to no damage. 

Cowards, they do not seek combat, often fleeing from battle. They prefer to use their powers of charm and wiles to trap their victims, hungrily draining them of their life essence.

The Familiar Face

A succubus subtly appears as someone its prey desires or trusts, and different creatures may perceive it differently. After several minutes of interaction, make an opposed ACU vs. SOC Heroic Action. If the succubus wins, the target becomes Beguiled. Undeniable evidence of the succubus’s true nature allows another opposed Heroic Action to end the effect.

Hunger

A succubus can feed through intimate physical contact with a willing, beguiled, helpless, or grappled creature. The victim suffers 1d6 Wither damage, bypassing AV, and the succubus heals the same amount.

The victim experiences the feeding as comfort rather than pain. Make an opposed ACU vs. SOC Heroic Action. If the succubus wins, the victim does not recognize the succubus as the source of the harm and willingly allows it to feed again.

Mark of the Beloved

When using Hunger, a succubus may Mark its victim. The succubus can communicate telepathically with the marked creature at any distance, sense its general emotional state, and use The Familiar Face against it once per day regardless of distance.

While within 30’ of the succubus, the victim gains +20% to Horror checks, finding unnatural comfort in its presence. A creature can have only one Mark, which can be removed with a Dispel spell.

Shapeshifter

A succubus can assume the appearance of any Small or Medium humanoid Being. Its Characteristics and abilities remain unchanged. The spell Reveal shows its true form.

When a succubus uses Hunger or suffers a Special or Critical attack, its disguise briefly fails, revealing its black eyes, hooked teeth, horns, wings, and pale translucent flesh. Anyone seeing its true form for the first time must make the succubus’s Horror check (3/3d6+1).

Dark Vision

Succubi can see using only the faintest light source, extending their vision to three times the distance of the light source, up to 60’.
