Tiefling babies

Tieflings are always trying to make more babies... because they are always horny.

Discussions such a this remind me why there are no hybrids in my games....

Here's how I resolved it:

Half-elves (terran elves), elves (wood elves) and eladrin (high elves) are different ethnic groups of elves... They all can breed with each other, and its up to their upbringing which will determine the child's abilities. Eladrin are not immortal, they just seem that to humans because time in the Feywild is different.

Similarly, Half-orcs (grey orcs) and orcs (green orcs) are different ethnic groups of orcs, which are sometimes at war with each other, or sometimes they are allied.

As posted above, Tieflings can breed with humans, but the child is always a tiefling, whose skin will turn reddish and start grow horns in puberty (for improved angst!).
 

If a human and a tiefling have a child the child is a tiefling.

Can an elf and a tiefling have a child?

Can an eladrin and a tiefling have a child?

In either case would the child be a half-elf or a tiefling?

(I am thinking of a tiefling that is fey-pact, but might also have a fluff-based blood connection to the fey realm, so being descended from eladrin would help with that, even if it makes no crunch difference).
These are just my personal answers, but... no. A tiefling cannot reproduce with an elf or eladrin anymore than an elf can breed with a dwarf.

Humans have the ability to crossbreed with certain races, but tieflings have lost that ability. They can only breed with their 'ancestor' race, and even then they always breed true.
