Fall-From-Grace is a succubus NPC character which can be played in the Planescape role playing game. Originally, she appeared in the Planescape computer role playing game but her character statistics in that game were converted to a form which was compatible with the 3.5 edition of the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game.

She is a Lawfully Neutral Succubus who originally owned the Brothel for Slating Intellectual Lusts, but in this version of this character, she could appear in any plane of existence in the game.

History

I believe that there is a truth to the Multiverse, even if that truth is that there is no truth at all.

Early in her life, Fall-from-Grace was sold by her mother into slavery to the Baatezu, granting her an unusual perspective on both the Baatezu (devils) and her own race, the Tanar'ri (demons). She gained her freedom by challenging a Pit Fiend to a contest of improvisation and winning, counting on her demonic tendency toward chaos to help her. Disgusted though intrigued by her experiences as a devil's slave (and moreover disgusted by the Blood War) Fall-from-Grace became determined to be absolutely unlike her mother, striving to avoid her natural succubus urges and became a Planar rarity: a fallen demon.

She left the Lower Planes to experience the rest of the Multiverse, believing that understanding the Planes is the key to understanding oneself; she holds faith in the power of Experience so strongly that she serves as a "priestess" to that Ethos. Naturally, her beliefs fall well into that of the Society of Sensation of Sigil, where she has become a respected member of that faction.

While in Sigil she ran the Brothel of Sating Intellectual Lusts, where her women entertained the guests with stories and cerebral challenges rather than pleasures of the flesh. She joined the being known as the Nameless One to experience the Multiverse through his eyes; like him she knows well the pain of trying to change one's nature. She may now be back in Sigil or wandering the Planes, looking for new experiences. Unlike most succubi, she usually keeps her natural form– although it's arguable that if she landed in a Prime, she'd likely shift to something less conspicuous.

Conversion Notes by the Author

I did the best I could to follow the monster class rules as possible; seeing as I only have the DMG to guide me, I could have well screwed up. So if you see any problems, please let me know. I considered tweaking her monster abilities to make her more match the Torment version, but it was such a headache converting her, I decided not to.

In this version here she has a lot more abilities than she uses in the CRPG–however, it's quite arguable that Grace had the abilities–she just chose not to use them out of the sake of "experiencing" something new (or they would be useless to her–I doubt she has much reason to try summoning a Vrock). More enterprising folks than myself might want to try making a version of her eliminating her spell-like abilities and her summoning ability and dropping her level adjustment by 1. If you do make or have a better version, by all means submit it! I picked her domains as the what I thought were best ones to reflect the Ethos of Experience.
