Succubus Override
#1
I was poking around an inn tonight and I happened across a succubus whom happened to live there. Upon seeing her I was immediately revolted because I was suddenly reminded how much I hate the NwN model for succubi.

I am not a fan of their hair at all; it just looks weird to be succinct. I think that the most off putting feature on them is their hoofed legs. Outside of this game I have never seen a succubus portrayed as having hooves. Maybe it is just BioWare's artistic take on them. You might say it was an attempt to make them look more demonic, but hell I think the leathery bat wings accomplish that just fine. The 1st edition drawing of a succubus has normal feet as does 3rd and beyond (I couldn't find a picture that showed below their thighs for 2nd edition.)

So to cut my rant short, I hopped on the internet and found a nice override for the succubus model. I'll post a picture and the link below. If anyone else has any overrides they prefer please share them.

I always wondered why the Monster Manuals never gave the succubus an incubus counterpart, or perhaps could have made them both the same creature: A shapeshifting demonic seducer who becomes whichever sex and form will best entice a targeted mortal and reduce him or her to putty in the succubus'/incubus' hands. "Hey, I'm going to get my hooks into that baron. Once I get him alone at night, he'll be dancing to my tune. Let me see what kind of woman he prefers for...oh, wait. He's into other men. Okay, now I'm a hot Sembian studmuffin with green eyes, smooth skin, a calming foreign accent and a manhood which reaches halfway to my knees. And my name is Rico Suave. All right, time to get this blue-blood in the sack!"

Those furry Bioware legs do seem like they would better suit an erinyes, which, by the way, is another creature who has been through the wringer a few times. If I recall, the oldest editions of D&D made the erinyes exactly what she was to the ancient Greeks: A punisher and a tormentor. If you did something stupidly evil like murder your own parents, you could count on an erinyes or three hounding you for the rest of your life, randomly jumping out of nowhere, beating the crap out of you, stealing all your food, maybe waking you up in the middle of the night to waterboard a confession out of you while screaming in both your ears the entire time...something like that. Really mean bitches if you got them on your back, right? But for some reason, 3rd Ed decided to make the erinyes the devils' answer to the succubus and go the "arch-seducer" route. And then 4th Ed made the erinyes disappear entirely, probably because 3rd Ed had made them entirely superfluous.

Anyway, the erinyes are supposed to be scary as hell, they deserve those goaty legs far more than the Bioware succubus does (though their dark, feathery wings are spot-on with that whole "angel of darkness" vibe and they can keep those) and they've suffered enough abuse already. Hug an erinyes today. Thank you. :)
