Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shemeska" data-source="post: 4340976" data-attributes="member: 11697">The Fey'ri were a specific group of elven tieflings that bred true and had a specific, common origin/bloodline. FR also had normal tieflings as well, of all sorts of origins in terms of their mortal stock and what particular sort of fiendish blood they had.That said, 4e in my opinion has, to an extent, hamstrung themselves by presenting a single origin for 4e tieflings that rather precludes having the racial ambiguity of the confused, sullied bloodlines of 2e/3e tieflings. Now you've got a specific race rather than individuals whose fiendish blood might be a single generation old, or the result of a tryst eons ago that manifested in them out of nowhere.They look the same now too, which is a far cry from the fiendish grab-bag of traits they've had previously. For instance, I loved the table of tiefling variant traits in the 2e Planewalkers Handbook, and WotC would do well to look back at that book and introduce that level of diversity for 4e tieflings (otherwise a different name for the 4e race would have been better, given the strict origin definition in 4e).</blockquote>
