Homebrew Angelic Succubus/Incubus Species Details
Folktales and bards' songs tell tales of succubi and incubi falling in love with a certain individual and even bearing children with them, however this is an extremely rare occasion. These devils usually do not feel emotions, nor do they have the desires a human or other intelligent race would. They are born to fulfill only one goal: serve their archdevil creator. Some folk mistake their decade-long missions for love or attraction, however most of the time this is only a means to an end for them.
Rarely however, succubi and incubi are born with emotions and feelings like any other race. When in pursuit of a person they might meet their soulmate and fall in real, humanly love with them. This is a dangerous game for them because if their archdevil finds out there is only one way for them to survive: kissing their one true love without taking their soul. If they are capable of such an act, their bond to the Kingdom of Never is broken, their creator has no domain over them anymore and they lose their natural hunger for souls.
Angelic Succubus/Incubus Traits
Succubi/Incubi share certain racial traits as a result of their infernal descent.Devil's Shapechange
You walk amongst everyday folk like you are one of them. You can cast a fiendishly altered version of disguise self without expending a spell slot. Instead of its normal duration, it lasts until you are able to concentrate on it as if it was a spell or until you dismiss the illusion.
A creature can recognize your disguise by making a successful Wisdom (Insight) check against your Fiend Save DC.
Wings from the Nine Hells
You have a small set of wings on your back. However, these wings are not strong enough to hold your weight for an extended period of time. You can use your wings to suddenly thrust yourself forward 10 feet on the battlefield as a bonus action. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks. You regain the ability to use this feature after taking a short or long rest
Draining Kiss
Once you reach 5th level, you gain the ability to drain the life of a foe with your deadly kiss. As an action, you may kiss a target within 5 feet of you. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take necrotic damage equal to your character level + your Charisma modifier. The DC equals your Fiend Save DC. Additionally, you gain hit points equal to the damage dealt. After you use your draining kiss, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
