[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 6631133, member: 2067"] Not being a fan of the FR novels, I didn't know this bit of lore - that FR tieflings are a group of pre-4e tieflings that did the thing that made the 4e tieflings. It's interesting that the Asmodeus-linked tieflings are explicitly old-school tieflings who did a specific thing in a specific world. That has some ramifications for how they might address this in future material. Like, it would totally be consistent for a PS-style sourcebook on planar adventurers to, at some point, say something like [INDENT][I]Rubes from the Prime might think that all tielfings look the same and all are sworn to some lord of the nine or whatever, but that's just one of the many reasons not to trust rubes from the Prime. That might be the only story they're familiar with, but anyone who knows the planes knows there's more types of tieflings (or aasimar or genasi or whatever) than there are blades of grass in Arborea. If anyone imagines they all know how what a tiefling looks like or what it's story is, they're in for a rude awakening and a quick mugging when they wind up in Sigil.[/I][/INDENT] ....or whatever. And using that particular story lets them do that. [/QUOTE]
