Perhaps not vanilla D&D settings, but how many campaigns are vanilla settings nowadays? I can think of several published settings where Tieflings are a core race, though they're often known by other names - Living Arcanis where Dark-kin are a popular choice; and Dark Legacies (Hybrids) - and several others where they wouldn't seem out of place, including Forgotten Realms and Eberron. Before anyone screams "argh, but not in my [insert campaign here]", how commonplace is the Demonic template among minis and published adventures? If Gnoll archers can be demonic, then surely Tieflings can't be far away?mhensley said:
Tieflings are relatively easy to introduce into a setting, via Demonic invasion, or maybe they've always been hiding amongst human society, but only recently been "outed".
If you don't like Tieflings in your campaign, then leave them out. Yeah, I know, they're taking up space in the PHB that could have been used for [insert cool race here] - but wasn't that always the case with Gnomes anyway?
To be fair, Wyatt didn't claim Tieflings didn't fit into his world, only that they didn't fit into his backwater village of Greenbrier.

I've got two gnomes in my Midwood campaign, and play a gnome in a Ptolus game. They outnumber the tieflings 3-0 as a result. (And half-elves, half-orcs and halflings, too, for that matter.)DarkWhite said:

That was the word on classes before the confirmation on the number 8. I do not believe any such hint existed for races - I believe there was only a mention that one race would not make the PHB cut. There is, to my knowledge, no set number we know how many races there are in the PHB, and as a result, we cannot confirm any number, whether 7, 12, or any other, as being the number until we are told, and this article does not really qualify. It helps to confirm races to be in the PHB, but not how many.Kesh said:

Here's the line-up I did with faces scaled to match the human one.

Seriously now, it is a common art technique to use as few lines as possible to portray a female's nose, since too many lines can make a face seem old.
Frank Cho uses few lines.
Nicola Scott (who's a woman and hot) draws some of the best female noses about (and everything else, actually).

Yeah, I know, I know; I was just being silly.
Although honestly, I don't like that look. At least suggest some shadow on one side. This isn't a stylized drawing, it's a realistic one, and realistically, it looks like those ladies don't have noses.
Of course the sketch lines don't help, as they break the face into blocks and make it more noticable.
