I'm going to try to keep the worst off it off of me.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> That said, there's two points I want to go over. First is that there's something inherently cool about playing a heroic (even if not particularly benevolent) character whose very nature and appearance contradicts it. It's something that you just wouldn't have if you were an Aasimar paladin or the like, turning to the light is just more interesting if it is set against the darkness. And since tieflings are descended (mostly?) from devils, who in this setting were themselves once angels, this theme takes an even deeper significance.Second, the presence of common tieflings along with the celestial eladrin/elf lineage and the the revamped cosmology points to a setting where planar influence is stronger, and those places outside of the prime are more readily accessible. Maybe not to the point of booking a magic boat into the astral sea to visit valhalla for the weekend (although that sounds like great fun!), but enough to make things more interesting overall. And in such a setting, demons will be about making deals and running schemes left and right, so tieflings are going to be around as a matter of course. My calmly made points are done, feel free to continue your heated debate.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
