Do you want Tieflings in the phb?

[Doug McCrae]

I keep reading the thread title as "Do you want tieflings in the pub?"

The answer would have to be no as I feel they lower the tone of the establishment.

Not the same thing.

Cambion is the name of the old male half-fiends from 2e (which were just called half-fiend in 3e, and given more options). Tieflings are merely planetouched - not half-fiend. Maybe one eigth. The fiendish incursion into their bloodline is a ways back - and it doesn't have to be a demon. Any evil outsider will suffice.

I know; I just like the name Cambion better than Tiefling, and as the name Cambion isn't currently being used…

Totally, and they always monopolize any of the recreational options (pool, darts etc).

And the rampant shagging behind the dustbins is very off-putting.

Not particularly. I think their origins are rather too specific to make a good core race for generic use.

It's not nearly as specific as half-orcs.

I don't think they need to be in the PHB I, PHB II or III would be just fine.

If they are going to be in the PHB I vote for a better name Teifling sounds lame and looks wrong.

Then maybe you should stop.

I kind of agree with Umbran, but I voted yes...since they were cool in Dawnforge. But it's a yes with a caveat, I would want the Aasimar in there as well...it just seems right if both are in the book.

I've tried, but there are so many hot tiefling chicks here in London!

No. "Planetouched" of any variety should be extreme fringe characters, not one of the basic choices right out of the box. Put 'em in the Monster Manual.
