[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 4776493, member: 18182"] The new tiefling is the old tiefling. Some of the details have been changed, of course. And this pleases some and displeases others. But the basic idea of a devil-tainted race of humans, we still got that. And, really, the fiddly details aren't really all that different. Same story with the dragonborn. The details have changed even moreso, but we still have the idea of a half-dragon/half-human race. Even eladrin aren't really all that new. It's just the high elf concept separated from the wood elf concept. The details are important and can sometimes make or break a concept, but the concepts themselves are already popular and have existing "traction" . . . 4th Edition just cements this by giving these particular concepts center stage along with the classics.
