Half-Abyssal?

[chronoplasm]

OK, so Tieflings are half-infernal... they are descended from devils from what I understand.
I want a race that is half-abyssal (descended from demons) and distinct from Tieflings in mechanics and flavor.

Heres what I have so far...

Paint me a picture what does your race look like?
You have the simplicity part down, something I tend to have problems myself, I find myself wanting to get too complicated. I also wonder about your +2 CHA? is that so they can be deceptive. isnt that the devils schtick not the demons?

I was thinking charisma so they could be more intimidating.
I am thinking of moving that over to Str though.

As for what these things would look like, I'm thinking maybe something similar to the Imps from Doom.

How long does the racial power last? Until the end of the next turn? until the end of the encounter?

 

[chronoplasm]

It's supposed to be until end of encounter.
Sorry.

On another forum, it was suggested that I should make this into a manifestation for the Genasi instead of a race on it's own. It could be 'Chaos Soul' or something. What do you guys think?
