 +And more. Is it too op? Don't forget it's on a chance for confusion (and potentially making her berserk) and placing the Mecha Succubus out of commission. Moreso, the metal door might need a little convincing...
  
 Unfortunately, I did not include any access to //**Advantages** //on the INT TEST, which will let you control the Doki-doki Wave to raise confusion or charm metal (since the undetermined nature is intended as a drawback). But if you ever get to access an advantage, score! If the Mecha Succubi is smart enough to pull a riddle, joke, (act cute???) or just an //__absurdist statement__ //out of her digital brain, I almost wonder if you should get to choose the outcome of the confusion spell as well... But, the confusion spell is a massive randomiser to stir up any situation. Also, as a high-level spell that can almost be called at will, it deserves a drawback, so I tagged an immobilisation on that. Once the confusion is out, it comes down to the will of the dice. Unfortunately, I did not include any access to //**Advantages** //on the INT TEST, which will let you control the Doki-doki Wave to raise confusion or charm metal (since the undetermined nature is intended as a drawback).

-Now, a walking suit of armour is a sight to behold, though not unlike a shy knight. One feature I did cut was that the Mecha Succubus couldn't seduce creatures, which was a detriment. But YMMV across your GM.+Now, a walking suit of armour is a sight to behold, though not unlike a shy knight. One feature I did cut was the Mecha Succubus's inability to seduce creatures, which was a detriment. But YMMV across your GM. You never know which lord or lady likes steel.

-I gave this class the nun theme through her starting items, trying to paint this class of robots in a juxtaposition of evil creatures trying their very best not to be evil, restraining their desires, whatnot. But it is also a good excuse to give them a lot of strange metal items. But this gave rise to a tangential theme behind her abilities: exorcist.

In fact, this gives me an idea to tie this in with the other classes for this jam… A common theme of spiritual phenomena classes.+While I did not specify their property as a robot: life energy, souls, divine healing, disease, poison, rust, or sleep are things to consider. To keep it simple, just treat it as normal unless your GM have other plans.

 I believe that classes are a presentation of an aesthetic. Its features, in effect, guide the controlling player down a particular playstyle (their niche). And gets to //feel// like that role by virtue of decision-making that considers their capabilities. If you are a succubus, then be a succubus. If you are a parody of a succubus, then be that parody. A class that is designed to be open to change and interpretation might lose its flavour. If you needed that new flavour? Don't fight the system, just make your own class. That is the beauty of an OSR hack—you shape the game you're playing in you shape. I believe that classes are a presentation of an aesthetic.
