Description
The alu-demon is the female demonic offspring of a succubus and human. Though she is part demon, not all alu-demons are inherently evil (although alu-demons of any good alignment are extremely rare).
The typical alu-demon has dark hair, dark eyes, small black horns just above her eyes, and small, leathery, black wings. Alu-demons are always female.
Combat
Alu-demons attack with weapons (preferring longswords or maces) or with claws. The alu-demon mixes her spell-like abilities in regardless of the method of attack utilized.
Spell-Like Abilities
At will—charm person, desecrate, detect thoughts, shapechange (Medium-size humanoid only), and suggestion; 1/day—dimension door. These abilities are as the spells cast by an 8th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).
Vampiric Touch (Su)
An alu-demon that successfully hits with a claw attack deals 1d3+2 points of damage (each claw). The alu-demon temporarily gains hit points equal to the damage dealt. Note, that the alu-demon cannot gain more than the victim’s current hit points +10 (which is enough to kill the victim). The temporary hit points disappear in one hour.
Demon Qualities (Ex)
Immune to poison and electricity; cold, fire, and acid resistance 20; darkvision to a range of 200 feet.
Telepathy (Su)
Alu-demons can communicate telepathically with any creature within 100 feet that has a language.
Skills
Alu-demons receive a +4 racial bonus to Listen and Spot checks.
