Half-orcs were not a players handbook race in 2E

A tiefling PC walks into Hommlett - people panic (4e)

Ever heard of a hood, or a robe? That usually hides most tiefling features, and allows them to pass as human.

Besides has there been anything posted about how tieflings are in the world, beyond having an ancient empire?

Have you seen the pictures of the 4e tieflings?

You couldn't hide that ugly with a paper bag.

Well, "neither" is an option too. They could do some research into mythology or maybe, buy a good thesaurus. Why isn't tiefling named "cambion"? That's the english word for it. There are lots of forgotten words like "hobbit" out there in ye olde english which it wouldn't be too much trouble to find. For example "trow" isn't used in D&D yet (Hackmaster picked it up though, cool word).

I'd be very surprised if there isn't some mythological reptile people name somewhere out there. And something real like sidhe would have been better than eladrin...maybe not exactly sidhe, too many puns.

Hi rounser.

I suggest you read my post/essay as to my theory on naming, rules, and funny-looking dryads.

Love to hear your take.

It is. Remember those black-skinned elves? Yep, it's the drow - just a different spelling for trow.

Yeah, I know. And troll comes from the same root as drow and trow, didn't stop it from being a different critter.

Even if you're technically correct, the distinction is easily steamrollered and redefined. Hobbit is probably from the same root as hobgoblin etc.

It's true, they did add a large whopping tail. I guess the tiefling could wear a long bridal gown...
