Does anyone know how to make a character sheet with the abilities of a succubus and then add on player levels later on as per standard PC rules? I recently pulled something in a game I'm in where I pulled distant family of my Tiefling Warlock to the dimension he's in and the DM ruled that she would be considered another PC under my control that would be getting player levels later on as we all level up, Is there an easy way to do this or am I kinda stuck just making a homebrew race and a bunch of homebrew feats to represent the Succubus abilities?
You probably don't need to make feats, but you will need to make a race. If you don't know how to home-brew on dndbeyond, you can either look at the pinned threads at the top of the home-brew page to learn yourself, or have someone else (like me) do it for you as a favor. I don't know your DM, but this type of thing with a nonhuman NPC gets messy very fast. Have a plan for doing this.
In terms of traits, I recommend the following. I didn't have time to completely code it, but I did have time to get some ideas. Ask me if you want help home brewing it:
Creature Type. Fiend
Ability Score Increase. +1 Charisma.
Alignment. Evil creatures bent on corrupting virtuous mortals, most succubi and incubi are neutral evil.Size. Your size is medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 ft.
Charm. As an action, you may attempt to magically charm one humanoid within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a will saving throw or be magically charmed for one hour. It must make a Wisdom saving throw, and does so with Advantage if you or your companions are fighting it. If it fails the saving throw, it is charmed by you until the effect ends or until you or your companions do anything harmful to it. The DC of this saving throw is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. The charmed creature regards you as a friendly acquaintance. When the effect ends, the creature knows it was charmed by you. After you use this ability, you can't use it again until you complete a long rest.
Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Draining Kiss. As an action, you may kiss a creature under the effects of your Charm ability or a willing creature. The target takes 1d10 psychic damage. This damage increases by 1d10 when you reach 5th level (2d10), 11th level (3d10), and 17th level (4d10).
Flight. You have a flying speed of 30 feet. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing medium or heavy armor.
Shapechanger. As an action, you can polymorph into a specific small or medium humanoid, or back into your true form. Other than your size, your statistics are the same in each form. Any equipment you are holding or wearing is not transformed. You retain all of your own statistics, except as noted below. You revert to your true form if you die. While in your humanoid form you lose the use of your Flight trait.
Telepathic Bond. You can communicate telepathically with a creature charmed using your Charm ability, regardless of distance. You do not need to be on the same plane of existence as the affected creature.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write in Common, Abyssal, and Infernal.
Start with a Tiefling Soulknife, level 12 (based on hit dice), built however you come up with ability scores for PCs in the campaign & go from there. Infernal Constitution & Telepathy cover some abilities, Claw is Psychic Blade, Draining Kiss replaces (or is replaced by) Sneak Attack, and Fey Touched for Charm. Eldritch Adept for Mask of Many Faces (Master of Myriad Forms if your GM is generous), or Shadow Touched for Shapeshifting.
You could also come at it as a Fiendish Pact of the Blade Warlock, with a melee, restricted use, Eldritch Blast covering Draining Kiss, but getting Expertise in most of those skills will be tough.
Hmmm, all interesting ideas but they run into one problem that i perhaps did not make clear enough. Per my DMs ruling, as of right now, she does not have any PC class levels whatsoever, just the succubus traits in full, or in other words, this: https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/succubus is her stats right now and she will be gaining PC class levels as we go along.
Am I going to need to toss some oddball feats at her to make this work? If it were a PNP 3.5 campaign I would have practically no issue doing this, I have quite a bit of experience doing this kind of thing in 3.5 PNP, just almost none in 5e on D&D Beyond
I mean, I appreciate the help but the suggestions given are all things I can't actually use with how my DM ruled things. While i'd prefer to use D&D Beyond It's looking like i might just have no choice but to use a PNP char sheet to accomplish this.
Try making a encounter on DDB, & adding a succubus to it. When you load the encounter, you'll be able to roll like a PC where appropriate. As it gains levels, homebrew a 'succuplus', adding on whatever she gains from leveling up.
If your table already uses the encounter builder, make sure you mark this succubus as special, so the GM doesn't accidentally use her as a hostile creature.
don't know if anyone can help but I'm trying to make a home brew incubus/succubus rouge as a Caracter i want to play, but im not able to figure out how to do it on DND beyond, don't know if I'm being stupid and looking past how to do it. any help would be appreciated as its the first time iv tried to do home brew
if you want to know any more info let me know :)

My only good homebrews: Races, Subclasses.
An aspiring DM and Homebrewer. Ask me if you need anything.

This actually sounds like it should work once i can find the way to modify things, Thanks man, wasn't familiar with that section.
