Succubi would be lost in the wilderness, except for other PCs, and some groups aren't fond of inter-party sex and romance. Thus, even though she's surrounded by theoretically willing sex partners, she's still effectively celibate. <br /><br />This way, when she's away from 'civilization' she can hoard a tiny bit of Tantric energy to at least maintain her starvation/thirst immunity. She can fully recharge her tantric pool when she hits the next town and bangs some NPC (which alot of groups just handle off screen.) <br /><br />The I wanted the healing to be weak. Basically her healing power is the equivalent of the Stabilize (0 level cleric spell) at will as a racial ability. She can keep a character barely alive, or can pump in her full Tantric Pool and heal him for 5-6 HP, but to do any real healing you still need the Cleric, thus preserving that class' niche. <br /><br />Good insight as always, <br />CHRISChris A.

I just read through your latest book, Nobi...Chris,<br /><br />I just read through your latest book, Nobility and Eros: The Noble Succubus, and I quite enjoyed it! I think that you've designed a great new PC race for Pathfinder.<br /><br />As a freelance editor, however, I did notice a few rough spots. I wanted to point out the following errata:<br /><br />I'd recommend that the Tantric Pool delete the line about having points gained remain until used. I'd set it that points are naturally lost after a short amount of time (an hour or so), as this requires near-constant sexual activity to replenish the pool...hence the Noble Succubus's heady sex drive.<br /><br />The Crimson Wings power doesn't say what maneuverability rating her fly speed has. I recommend "good" in order to keep it in line with normal succubi.<br /><br />The feather-fall racial ability needs to be activated as an immediate action, rather than a swift one.<br /><br />The Healing ability is exceptionally weak. If you don't want it to take the place of normal healing, I'd say make it heal 1d4 hp per point expended. I suspect you gave it such a low amount because there's no effective limit on how often a Noble Succubus can gain, and thus expend, tantric points...basically allowing for unlimited healing. In that case, I'd say there simply needs to be an in-game reason why such healing is limited (perhaps her method of healing is different, and taxes a creature's biology, healing one less point of damage each time until it's healing 0 hp with each use).<br /><br />By contrast, the infernal defenses power is too strong. Allowing three blanket immunities, for 10 rounds (which is a long time), all for one point is too much. At the very least, I'd recommend busting this down to a number of rounds equal to her Charisma modifier (minimum 1).<br /><br />Other than that, I thought the book was inspired. Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
