Re: [DF] How Many Abilities Should A Race Get?
In DF? Anyway, you can make it Cutting Attack (Cosmic, Ignores DR, +300%; Melee Attack, Reach 1-4, Dual Weapon, +0%) for the same price if the damage output is a problem.

Re: [DF] How Many Abilities Should A Race Get?
Just bear in mind that true succubi are demons, and that is how they are defined in this world.
Being a demon is a core trait for a succubus.
Quote:
And other creatures, that are not demons but gather energy during sex, are not succubi. Myths prior-to (even after) the established definition of succubus may refer to something else (not necessarily the succubi). I already explained this to you, such creatures could be aliens, fairies, sídhe, etc. Quote:
Bloodletting is available today because of science, which made a major breakthrough just like it did with artificial insemination (debated in religion) and organ transplantation. The thing here is that creeds or beliefs could not hinge the advancement of science on this field. Well, this tread is about providing abilities for succubi… You said it was going to be troublesome if the succubi took universal/cosmic for attractive appearance. And I told you that was not an issue at all, because the succubi do not work under the human norms. Maybe there’s something about demons that does not work with your setting, that’s fine; if in your setting cats are dogs and dogs are giraffes, that’s OK... Simply take into account that it’s not the case in this world (because it seems you want to apply pet-world definitions to the real world). I wish you fun in your setting!

Re: [DF] How Many Abilities Should A Race Get?
I think Universal starts adding to the squick factor, especially if succubi have Lecherousness and Xenophilia, so that may be one reason to avoid it. I can see an argument for succubi being an exclusive predator for humanoids, demonic or not, and shaping their abilities to make them more successful. After all, a creature with Appearance (Very Beautiful) and Voice has a 50% chance of getting an Excellent reaction from individuals attracted to her gender, which probably facilitates easy predation.
Other entities may have other methods of predation, some of which may be much less gentle. Imagine what a demon with Affliction 1 (Attribute Penalty, -I0 IQ, +100%; Extended Duration, 100x, +80%; Malediction 1, +100%; No Signature, +20%) [30] could get away with, as their victims would be practically turned into vegetables for the duration of the attack. If their victims survive, they will likely be traumatized by memories of the event. |
