In many ways, they are human; they can have children with humans, for example, but their offspring are always tieflings."This makes it clear that they produce tieflings with humans.  It implies that they produce tieflings with other races they can procreate with ("their bloodline is tainted ... passing to their descendants through all generations"), without specifying which races they can breed with.  However, since they are "in many ways, ... human" it would seem reasonable that they can reproduce with the races humans normally can reproduce with.  Those include elves, half-elves, eladrin, half-orcs, orcs, changelings, dwarves (in Dark Sun, at least).  In previous editions you also had half-ogres, half-dragons, and many half-outsiders -- presumably you could still if the DM/player agree.You could also reasonably state that they are infertile with various races that humans are fertile with.  If they do breed, the result is a tiefling unless the DM has a good storyreason to give something else (e.g. a tiefling/devil union producing a devil).FWIW, I played in a campaign with a tiefling feypact warlock who was born in the Feywild to an Eladrin mother and an unknown tiefling father.</blockquote>
