Possible Scoop...Tiefling Page

[Aage]

Anyone else notice it lists three preferred classes instead of one?

The elf article did too, I believe.

elf -> Ranger, Rogue, Cleric
tiefling -> Warlord, Warlock, Rogue

Seems likely that all races will get three "favoured" classes...

I've also got a photo of that page in my flickr stream here:

Now if we only knew what that means...

"Random is a Tiefling Rogue.."

Random, seriously?

Heh, I know someone who has a dog with that name (gamer, obviously).

My guess is that it doesn't mean anything, other than:

Elfs (+dex and +wis) are good rogues because Dexterity is important to rogues, clerics because wisdom is important to clerics and rangers because they have great us of both wis and dex..

Races are a better fit for certain classes, but it doesn't provide a mechanical bonus/penalty...

Looks like rogue might be the class every race has preference toward as in previous editions.

I find it amusing that "Tiefling-crafted arms and armor often have an archaic style" even though the sword, knife and shield in the accompanying illustration look more like something a 24th Century Klingon would use.

Pretty good crunch. Still dislike the fluff.
I'm struggling a bit with the cerebral, yet bloodthirsty angle.

I wonder if this means that warlord is going to rely on Int or Chr, and then the other stat and str...

Has anyone mentioned that the 4E rulebooks have nice formatting? They do.

No but yes I agree (but no but yes then she said that i said that he wants to say that no but yes and 4E rulz!)

Random, seriously?

I like it! WAYYYYYYYYY back when in 1983 when playing D&D, one of the players made a mage named Sphere. At first I thought 'How Gay!'. After a while it really grew on me. I like direct names like that a lot now. One of the best Ultima Online characters I had was named Is. Which has subsequently become an NPC in my campaign.
