I created some non-Asmodean Tieflings for character concepts with some ...thing... else in their family tree. These are intended to be a close parallel to the by-the-book race.
All proposals involve changes to Hellish Resistance and Infernal Legacy.
Comments / improvements welcome. In particular, is anything so much more powerful (or so much less effective) that it is an auto-decision for / against?
format:
Name of Variant
Hellish Resistance permits Resist (this damage) instead of original Resist (Fire)
Replace Hellish Rebuke in Infernal Legacy with this spell-duplicating ability
Replace Darkness in Infernal Legacy with this spell-duplicating ability
Storm Tiefling
Lightning damage
Witch bolt as 2nd-level spell, no concentration allowed
Gust of wind
Acid Elemental
Acid damage
Melf’s acid arrow
Silence
Cold Elemental
Cold damage
Chromatic orb (cold only) as 2nd-level spell
Fog cloud as 2nd-level spell (fluffed as a snow flurry?)
Thunderboomer
Thunder damage
Thunderwave as 2nd-level spell
Fog cloud as 2nd-level spell
Son of a succubus…
Psychic damage
Dissonant whispers as 2nd-level spell
Enthrall

Guiding bolt
Color Spray as 2nd-level spell
Child of the World-Serpent (Primal)
Poison damage
Bane
Spike growth
Spawn of Orcus
Necrotic damage
Inflict wounds as a 2nd-level spell
Spiritual weapon (fluffed as a skull-headed mace?)
Other concepts also welcome !
Edit: My first thread, FULL of typos as I learn the formatting.
