It all takes place in a world that is so insanely crowded with RPG supplements -- er, I mean monsters, races, magic and stuff -- that it's hard to imagine that anyone lives there who isn't a spellstitched warforged half-fiend dwarven warlock. :/But that's just how it is, to an extent, because the game's gotta release supplement after supplement. It's up to the DM's individual campaign to try to give it form and keep it under control. The idea of tieflings running around between planes and setting up happy tiefling villages where everyone looks like a bat-winged anime cosplayer is ridiculous. But the idea of some wandering adventurer who has red eyes and a sinister look and is shunned everywhere because he has the blood of devils in him... THAT'S AWESOME. And despite all the ridiculous stuff which will certainly be wrapped around it in 4E, this *is* one, IMHO, cool and legitimate way to interpret the tiefling.Jason</blockquote>
