I’m not certain exactly what happens if a character under the effects of something Resistant would work against suddenly gains Resistance, but if it’s a reroll to eliminate the status, putting Affects Others on a succubus’ Resistant would be quite useful (optionally, apply a Limitation to the Enhancement so it requires intimate contact of some sort).
Not really, the IQ roll to use it takes a penalty for how hard it is to cure the disease in question, that said a perk to Resistance to STD's might well fit in.

The problem with this is that now your character is sexually attractive to EVERYTHING, EVEN THINGS WHICH DON'T EXPERIENCE SEXUAL ATTRACTION, if you can't see the problem with this there's something wrong with you.

Why are you so hung up on them ingesting this sort of stuff?

It's 714 points

No idea, might be Template Toolkit 2: Races.
