I asked this before but didn’t get a satisfying answer and now since there are over 2000 members I’ll try it again 🙂
the players killed a succubus which was wearing a magic ring.

Summon Succubi
Cast’s ‘Charm Person’
One myth puts Lillith as one of the four first succubi, with the lilin as her children. The lilin were exceptionally hostile and hated mankind. What if this ring was designed to help the sucubbi create lilin (when mating with men), but in the hands of a mortal, fueled the humans hatred?
The Ring Of Lilin
The Lilin are the children of Lillith, one of first four succubi.Â
While wearing the ring, you are filled with the wrath of the Lilin and anything that may be considered an insult or attack is harder to resist (Defy Danger WIS to avoid).
While wearing the ring, if a paladin asks what is evil around here, you are.
Possessing such a ring enfuses the wearer with demonic hatred which makes the user more powerful in combat.
When you are first engaged in combat, Roll+Wis:
10+: Pick two
7-9: Pick one
* add +1 piercing to your attacks ongoing for this combat
* add the forceful tag to your attacks ongoing for this combat
* add 2 hp temporarily for the duration of this combat
* +1 armor ongoing for this combat
* roll two dice for damage and take the better roll ongoing for this combat
6+: whenever your attack hurts an ally, roll two dice for damage and take the better roll ongoing for this combat.
The failed result should make other party members nervous (sort of like adventuring with Elric of Melnibone). It’s a ring that’s good for the wearer and bad for others, which is what a demonic item should be.
Why don’t you ask the players?
idea stolen from some D&D thing: makes you vulnerable to the effects of poison so long as you wear it.
Demons are (generally) immune to poison. Alcohol is a poison. Ergo, demons need some magical help if they want to enjoy a night out on the town.Â
Protection from Vampires.
Water poured through the ring becomes acid, blood, unholy water, etc.
Make up lore for succubi as a dark reflection on nuns, brides of Lucifer or whatever local high demon you have in the setting. That’s a wedding ring. Someone angry will want it back.
Related question:
Would possession of this ring prevent the player from taking XP from Good Alignment moves? Leaving them less incentive to “do the right thing”…
Really good idea!
Eric Lochstampfor That’s a good idea, but if you;re going to remove one way to get XP, you should add another. Perhaps, at the end of a session in which the character wore the Ring, ask the character: Did you seduce or manipulate an innocent down a dark path? Did you offer corruption to someone vulnerable?
I’d offer both as XP, but that’s me.
They can always just change their alignment
Tim Franzke OMG, “instant wedding” would be worth millions! The headaches it could vanquish…
I wonder how much player behavior could be modified just with XP as an incentive. Next time I run, major magic items are all going to give XP awards for very specific types of actions, and we’ll see what that does.
It Works extremely well!
William Nichols I’ve given players notes mid-session offering them 1 XP if they do something destructive to the rest of the party. These represented the telepathic intrusions of some Derro. Only one player passed up the chance to do something blatantly stupid in exchange for an XP.Â
