[QUOTE="Sundragon2012, post: 3710590, member: 7624"] I am ok with the Tiefling as a core race because I never DM vanilla, core D&D which after I was 14 and discovered Dragonlance I found shallow and dull. I now only DM a hombrew setting and I do have a place for Tieflings but they will be renamed.... In any event I decide what races are in my setting, not designer caveat and certainly not a new game incarnation. The new rules are just a way of simulating the realities of the setting as best as can be done using dice and rulebooks. There is nothing stopping a DM from not having that race in his setting. Many settings, especially settings where demons and devils are rarely to never encountered, would be bastardized by the inclusion of such a race. However, considering a race of such beings usually means a substantial number I can see some DMs not wanting to retcon their settings to provide such a large number of fiend-blooded outsiders. In a dark and gritty setting I can really see some potential for the race if they are torn between their humanity and the clarion call of their inherent evil blood. I ca work with that. Who thought of that name Tiefling anyway?
