First house rule: Tieflings have small horns

[I'm A Banana]

I like this "tiefling".

Y'know, that' one's not bad. The horns are reasonable, there's no elaborately awkward tail, she passes muster.

Let me guess: draenei (sp)?

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

[/sblock]DiTerlizzi's tieflings are the only true tieflings. All other tieflings are pale imitations of the original.

....though these two are okay (even if they are a little anime. )[sblock]

I don't know. As much as I like DiTerlizzi’s art, I’ve always found his tieflings more feyish than fiendish.

What's with the pointy ears on all those old-school-tiefling pictures? I thought they were demon-human hybrids, not demon-elf.

Most devils and demons in dnd have pointy ears (well, those who do have ears)

small horns are not really that visible on a 25mm miniature

And yet…

tails and horns are much smaller on minis.


For me, slightly red skin, small fangs, pointy ears and eyes that glow in the dark should be the norm.
Every player would then have to pick at least one clearly devilish feature like modest horns, a slender tail (à la Nightcrawler) or hooves. So most Tieflings could pass for human or elves if they concealed their fiendish traits with clothing.

I don’t think those who choose to have huge horns and tails should get the charisma bonus.
Maybe they could get something in exchange, but nothing too good, they still should be punished for their bad taste.
