[edit] Descendant of Succumbi

“	You think you're powerful with that sword? How would your allies like it if you were attacking them?	”
—Nerefain, Human Bard

Prerequisite: You must be a Human or Tiefling

You are descended from the succumbus. You control your target through a kiss. Despised by those who recognize what you're descended from. Shunned by those who were your friends. You don't need them anymore. You've found your power, and you intend to use it.
