[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 1680551, member: 9327"] The Planewalker's Handbook had some cool tables for rolling Tiefling attributes. I've decided to make up something like that more appropriate for 3.5. Here's what to do: Roll once on table I, three times on table II, and five times on table III. If you choose to roll on table III, ditch [i]darkness[/i], resistances, and darkvision. Sometimes you will be asked to roll on another table, which will use notation like (IV), which means "roll on table IV and insert the result here." If you roll same thing twice, reroll. Obviously, you can make multiple energy resistances, but you can't have two skin colors. Any suggestions, comments, or addtions are welcomed and encouraged. I consider this list incomplete and would like more ideas. Items marked * add +1 LA and require DM approval. [b]I. Major physical attributes (roll once)[/b] 1. Goat legs 2. Horns (XI) 3.
