Ace32 said:Tieflings as in the Monster Manual are specifically the descendents of human-fiend unions. Now, if you made an 'elf tiefling' you have created yourself a half elf, half-human/fiend mix. It'd be much more beneficial to deconstruct the tiefling race, essentially removing the human side, and making it a tiefling template.
Problem is, you're dealing with magic, not just genetics here.
Humans have Dex scores of usually 10-11. If they are a tiefling, they have a trace of planar magic in them, which raises they're average Dex scores to 12-13. Therefore, if you take an elf who's race has an average Dex of 12-13 and make him a tiefling, shouldn't that infusion of planar energy make him get a Dex score of 14-15? I think it should.
