Default Seduce - Corrupt

There're some items that can raise the chances of successfully seducing or corrupting a commander?

Cat charm says in description that make female more feminine ... it's someway useful?

There are no items that will give the Seducer a greater chance of Seducing any given Commander.

However there are abilities, skills and other factors (including 'female') that impact the chances of higher priority to seduce or to not be seduced at all.

Does someone know what are the chances- at least empirically ? I refrain from summoning Succubae because I've read they were pretty much ineffective...

It depends on the target because they get both a morale check and a magic resistance check.

From the above, I expect if you were going after completely boring folks with 10 morale and 10 MR, you'd only seduce 1/4 of the time.

Seems to me it is fairly rare that they seduce... maybe one in six or so, or less, depending on the victims.

However, I really like succubi, because:

* It's fun when it does happen.

* Sometimes you get someone great - e.g., a Caelum wizard really fills in gaps in Mictlan's spellcasters!

* Especially with items, the succubus generally wipes out whoever the target is.

* In an MP game, I'm sure it would induce some nice panic many human players, just to know a succubus is stalking their guys!

It seems to work more often than that.
