Succubus (Slayers and She-Wolves)
For other uses of the word Succubus, see Succubus (disambiguation).
The following is taken from the Chronofus.net website.
Slayers & She-Wolves was a 25mm miniatures wargame written and produced in Australia by Dragonbait Games and NolanBooks. Created in the early 1980s, the game is now out of print. The basic rules were written to recreate all forms of gladiatorial combat found in Roman times. An expansion to this game was created called Battlenuns.
Battlenuns allowed for Demons, Battlenuns and Succubi to be involved in battle in the game structure. Interestingly, Succubi could battle either of the two opposing groups.
The Succubus Gladiator School
Description
The Succubus school can be found anywhere at all. They will dwell in whatever place they can find that will grant them daytime peace. From here they will spread out at night to infect the dreams of any innocent peasants and nobles they can lay their hands on. They are particularly averse to the priestesses of Vesta and their warriors the Battlenuns.
Succubus are usually not gladiators, but being demonic, they can fight if they have the need. For their stats, use the Custom gladiator base and add a skill rank for whatever weapon they choose. Suitable prepared Succubus who have access to an armourer may be treated as Amazona, Galla or Thracians for stat purposes. Succubus schools may use slaves as gladiators.
