Tiefling, Keran Variant (3.5e Race)


Tiefling

Origin

Tieflings are created when a Karmainian or Newesti child is either damned by a Devil while in the womb, or one of the parents was a Fiendish being. It only happens with Karmainians & Newesti because in their genesis they were given a link to the Gods and the fiends exploit this.

Personality

Tiefling are normally charismatic as they can feel that power is within reach at all times. They are also oftern jokers, trying to make light of situations other may find difficult or emotionally grueling.

Physical Description

Tiefling are partly descended from human stock, and this is reflected in their physique. They are only slightly smaller than human men and women on average. Each is unique as its appearance depends on its fiendish Ancestor.

E.g. A Tiefling descended from a Glabrezu might have tiny non-mobile arms. While a Tiefling descended from a Cornugon might have tiny horns and a tail.

These unique traits only come into being once they reach the age of twelve. Until then they look like Karmainians.

Relations

Other races normally hate and fear them because of their bloodline.

Alignment

They normally have an evil alignment. This is because of how society treats them, and not to do with a taint from their bloodline.

Lands

They have no lands of their own and live wherever Karmainians dwell.

Religion

They are paradoxically religious. Hoping that the Divines will accept them for who they are, instead what their bloodline is.

Language

All Tiefling speak "Trade Tongue". But they have no language of their own.

Names

They are named like Karmainians because when they are babies it is hard to tell the difference between a Tielfing or Karmainian.

  • Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass Tiefling takes an experience point penalty, her highest-level class does not count.
