Tiefling

Tieflings were human-based plane touched, native outsiders that were infused with the touch of the fiendish planes, most often through descent from fiends—demons, Yugoloths, devils, evil deities, and others who had bred with humans. Tieflings were known for their cunning and personal allure, which made them excellent as inspiring leaders when prejudices were laid aside.

Basic Information

Anatomy

While some looked like normal humans, most retained physical characteristics derived from their ancestor, with the most common such features being horns, prehensile tails, and pointed teeth. Some tieflings also had eyes that were solid orbs of black, red, white, silver, or gold, while others had eyes more similar to those of humans. Other, more unusual characteristics included a sulfurous odor, cloven feet, or a general aura of discomfort they left on others.

Genetics and Reproduction

Darkvision Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Hellish Resistance You have resistance to fire damage.
Infernal Legacy You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the hellish rebuke spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Infernal.

Ecology and Habitats

Tieflings have no particular home in Nesia but most often flock to large cities where they are able to blend in more with the diversity of races. As such, they seem to favor Teflal, Hakoa, and Bynea.

Additional Information

Social Structure

Like other races that were the result of the breeding of two or more others, tieflings had no true culture they could call their own.
