[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6330960, member: 20323"] Continuing with our look at the plane-touched, here's an entry for everybody's favorite tiefling... [size=3][b]TIEFLING[/b][/size] [img]http://www.ageofruins.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/tiefling1.jpg[/img] Tieflings have been touched by the Lower Planes; a shadow of a knife edge in their presence, a dark light in their eyes, a smile that reminds one a bit too much of a leering fiend - whatever it is gives away a tiefling for what they are. Many are the descendants of fiends, though it's best not to probe to deep about the specifics of a tieflings ancestry or they're liable to take it real personal like. Others are humans warped by exposure to powerful Lower Planar energies, such as accessing a potent planar touchstone. And others still are the result of an ancient deal with fiends made by their ancestors that left them cursed. Tieflings, despite their natural charisma, are ostracized across much of the planes, as much due to society's prejudices as due to a tiefling's own dark nature. Because of this it can be hard for many tieflings to trust others, having had no one to rely on but themselves for so long. [b]Traits[/b] [b]Ability Score Adjustments[/b]: +2 Charisma and +1 Intelligence or Dexterity. [b]Age:[/b] Tieflings reach adulthood in their late teens and can live 100 years or longer. [b]Alignment:[/b] While many tieflings are selfish, tending toward neutral, chaotic neutral, or neutral evil, plenty of tieflings defy this stereotype and rise above their base origins. [b]Size:[/b] Tieflings are about the same height and weight as humans. Your size is Medium. [b]Speed:[/b] 30 feet. [b]Darkvision:[/b] Accustomed to Lower Planar realms of metaphysical and physical darkness, you can see in dim light within 60 feet 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 grey. [b]Fire Resistance:[/b] You have resistance to fire damage. [b]Fiendish Gifts:[/b] The default tiefling can cast [i]darkness[/i] once per day & has resistance to cold. Tieflings are far from a uniform bunch however, and you may instead roll or choose 2 different gifts from the Fiendish Gift Table. [b]Unusual Appearance:[/b] The default tiefling has goat hooves/legs, a tail, and sharp ears and/or horns. However, tieflings vary greatly in appearance, and instead you may roll or choose 3 times on the Tiefling Appearance Table. [b]Languages:[/b] You can speak, read, and write Common and one of these languages of your choice: Abyssal, Daemonic, Infernal, or Lower Planar Trade.
