Tiefling

Tieflings are derived from human bloodlines and, in the broadest sense possible, they still look human. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Though their demonic lineage is removed by many generations, physical traits such as horns, tails, and unusual skin, hair and eye colors are prevalent in most tieflings. These features can rest dormant in families and manifest unexpectedly. Many tieflings are killed at birth from fear, superstition or both.

Tieflings have no unified nation or culture. The circumstances of their births leave them disconnected and isolated. Unwilling to trust and without much recourse in society, they often resort to the baser tendencies of their ancestry. While tieflings can be of any alignments, the pull of their fiendish progenitors remains in the blood and prevents them from being as devout as other races.

While some tieflings are natural fighters, most rely on either their intelligence or their charm to eke out an existence as a practitioner of magic or a charlatan.

While their diabolical roots provides them with a resistance to fire, it also makes tieflings susceptible to holy attacks. They also are keen-sighted, and possess the innate ability to see at a distance and sense heat in darkness.


Experience Modifier

Tieflings gain experience on a scale of normal rate * .95.
