    Aren’t succubi and incubi technically the same creature, taking a man’s “seed” and then delivering it elsewhere, as a bullshit way to explain out of wedlock pregnancies?

    No idea if dnd succubi follow the same rules. But there’s precedent for them to bat for the other team.

      Dnd succubi and incubi follow the same rules. They are the same creature with the same stat block and can switch between at will.

      IIRC (w/o searching online), incubi are the male counterparts to succubi, and impregnate human females with demonic spawn, vs feed on "sexual energy" as succubi do. (I don't believe succubi are restricted to gender in doing so.)

      Secondly, you missed the chance for "out of warlock pregnancies". ☝🏽💡

        Also w/o searching online, a succubus takes a man's seed, transforms into an incubus and then uses the seed for the demon spawn

          Fair point, though it was King James who claimed the two were different aspects of the same entity (yes, the same who had the entire Bible rewritten out of fear of rebellion by an informed public).
