First house rule: Tieflings have small horns

[doctorhook]

My first houserule:

Anyone forcing a houserule on me before the rules even comes out gets a pie in the face and a boot out the door

This.

"Tieflings have small horns..."

Size isn't everything!...Try some Viagra?

[parcival42]

People always say this, but does anyone ever do it?

I did it!

How is this rule going to be enforced? Will you ask your players if they are imagining their tiefling characters with large horns? If they say yes, will you slap them?

Yep! Like this:

Yeah, but I'd hit them no matter what they said. While the 'new' tiefling look doesn't appeal to me as much as I'd like, I understand the change. They wanted the tiefling to be more 'alien.'

And you know, your tiefling could always just use a hacksaw to cut the horns down to size.

[/sblock]-Could you repeat that?

Why do you think he files his horns? Even he thinks they're stupid.

Yeah, all fantasy races should just be normal humans with extremely minor cosmetic differences! It's less silly!

Evolution on different planets producing identical species save for nose ridges and such, is cheesy, even by trekky scientific standards.
Elves and tieflings just stand for different human types and cultures too, but picturing them as quasi-human is easier, because magic has its own ways.

Red goatzilla people as a player race is not silly because they’re unrealistic, they simply look silly.

[/sblock] this is imo the best tiefling art that i've seen as of yet. Horns aren't hooked up to her eyebrows(as far as we can see) avoiding that permament elephant-man frown that i dislike on the other pictures.

the tail bothers me very little, even though i prefer those who aren't too big.

Yes those forehead bumps are particularly ugly. I also hate the "balding klingon" hairstyle imposed by those huge horns.

The tiefling on this picture was lucky to find that rock thingy to sit on too, because I don't think even she could have used a chair properly.
Unless the crocodile tail is just an excuse to draw "cool" tieflings casually straddling chairs "cowboy style" in taverns?

Tieflings obviously use stools and benches.

Tieflings obviously use stools and benches.

And ride side-saddle.
