I am starting my own monster classes project and I decided that the Succubus would be my first monster. My classes are liable to be balanced differently to Oslecamo's but I feel that they are going to hang around tier 2-3 for the most part. Hopefully at least. Anyway, here is the succubus racial class.
Succubus Outsider Type: Succubi are unaffected by spells or abilities that only target humanoids.
-2 Str, +2 Cha
Medium: As Medium creatures, Succubi have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Claws: Succubi have two claws that deal 1d3 damage each.
Racial +4 bonus to Listen and Spot Checks. This increases to a +8 bonus once the Succubus has 8 HD.
Succubi base land speed is 30 feet.
Automatic Language: Common, Abyssal, Celestial and Draconic. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).
Favored Class: Succubus
A Succubus has access to the following classes, she does not need to take levels in any of these and may multiclass freely between them.

She adds her Charisma bonus to her attack roll and deals an additional 1 point of damage per HD.

Beginning at level 4 a Succubus Tormentor may designate one suit of armor to be blighted at a time. While she wears Blighted Armor she ignores the maximum Dex bonus of that armor and she moves as though she were unarmored. Choosing a new set of Blighted armor takes 10 minutes of unholy rituals but can be preformed at any time. Blighted armor worn by anyone other than a Succubus Tormentor has its normal max dex and speed restrictions.
Black Blade (Su): By level 5 a Succubus Tormentor has learned to channel her latent powers into a blade rather than into a kiss. Whenever she successfully strikes her enemy with a weapon that enemies AC drops by 2 points until the end of the combat. In addition, all attacks by a Succubus Tormentor deal an additional 1 point of negative energy damage per HD.

Rebuke Evil (Su):A Succubus Tormentor never really loses her ability to influence others. When a Succubus Tormentor reaches level 6 she gains the supernatural ability to Rebuke Evil (As Rebuke Undead). She may use this ability a number of times a day equal to 3+ her Charisma Modifier.

Trapfinding (Ex): At level 1 a Succubus Poisonblood gains Trapfinding. This works exactly the same way that the Rogue ability of the same name does.
Demonsblood Venoms (Ex): Demons blood is in in itself a potent poison, distilled and refined it is yet stronger, that is the skill of a Poisonblood. At each class level the Succubus Poisonblood must choose a poison from the list below to learn. At level 1 this is always Burning Blood. A Poisonblood never risks losing doses poisoning herself whilst using these venoms and is immune to all poison. A Poisonblood produces one dose of poison per round, chosen at the start of the round. All Demonsblood Vemoms that deal damage do so based on the number of HD the Succubus Poisonblood that produced it has. Applying Demonsblood venom to a weapon is a swift action. Demonsblood venoms denature rather fast when exposed to the outside world, Injury poisons degrade 1 round after they are made (unless used), other poisons degrade 1 minute after creation.
Burning Blood: The most basic venom, unrefined demonsblood is still a rather potent Injury Poison. Primary Effect 1 Str Damage/HD. Secondary Effect 1 Str Damage/HD.

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a Poisonblood can avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility. If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used only if she is wearing light armor or no armor. A helpless Poisonblood does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Wings(Ex): At level 3 a Succubi's wings are strong enough to hold her aloft for a short amount of time. She has a 50' fly speed and Average maneuverability but may only fly for a number of rounds a day equal to double her class level. At level 7 She may fly as long as she likes.
Evil: A Succubus gains the Evil Subtype at level 4.
