It specifically says "I won't lie: making Good-associated creatures as exciting as their Evil-curious counterparts is a challenge."And that's true, because all-good-all-the-time characters are boring, like Faramir from LotR (which is why Peter Jackson changed him to be tempted, to give him some depth and character growth). So, making Good-associated characters without falling into the all-good-all-day trap is a challenge.We're not told anything about good guys at all in the Tiefling section. The only time that Good-associated challenges are mentioned is in the Celestial section, which never once calls them lame or anything of the sort, as I pointed out above.And they cite tieflings as an opportunity to express your dark side, not suppress it: "It's a chance to give expression to our dark sides, the parts of our own personalities that we suppress for the sake of getting along in society."No, it talks about how they have angst because of their corrupted heritage ("Their infernal heritage gives them plenty of angst and an excuse to "get medieval" whenever the mood suits them."). In fact, it talks explicitly about them overcoming the weight of heritage and stereotypes to become true heroes.Yeah, a person born to a corrupt heritage who overcomes it to become a true hero. Is there a problem with that comparison, or is this just a kneejerk anti-Drizzt reaction?And "paraphrasing" means "Summarizing what I wish they said, so I can argue against it."</blockquote>
