Overall, I like it. My first character I played for 4e was a tiefling paladin, wish I had that multi-marking power then (or any multi-mark).
I also like the alternatives for infernal wraith. since some classes don't pump charisma.

Oh and the wizard feat that allows them to ignore resistance and immunity on bloodied enemies.

Yeah some of those racial powers are interesting... and the replacement feat that replaces infernal wrath is pretty crazy... while I can see other feats being taken over it early on I think by level 10 it'll be pretty high on the list. I've always sort of disliked Infernal Wrath comparatively, I wonder if some of those "eh" racial powers will be replaced with some feat swaps like this in the future.

Time to play a Tiefling Paladin/Warlock!!! But now I have to decide to hybrid or multiclass, and if multiclass, which class will be my main?

Should be fun making the decisions!

I like the Hellfire Arcanist feat, as a nice complement to the Hellfire Blood feat (though the feat bonus to fire damage overlaps). However, there are very few wizard powers with the fear keyword, and none (that I can find) that push, pull, or slide the target.

I guess this is more useful, then, for tiefling warlocks that dabble in wizard, or vice versa.

Diabolic Transformation is strong, very strong. Perhaps too strong.

The feats where you multiclass as a wizard are rather nice though. Especially for Infernal Warlocks, which is great since they really needed a bonus in that area.

Diabolic Transformation is way too strong -- but worse, it's turning a nice little Encounter bonus into an encounter-changing Daily power.

Wizard's Wrath is like an Epic power, but better.

Hmm, -- N

Diabolic transformation reminds me WoW's warlock skill metamorphosis. very flashy but ultimately doesn't change play a whole lot. The regeneration is the exception because that is very sexy but the +damage and encounter power is alright for being a daily.

I agree with the power's strength... I wonder if it'd be more balanced if it was JUST the daily and not combined with the other power?

Considering the Encounter version with the daily is almost as powerful as the Encounter power they usually get.


I suppose the daily is okay as it is if you have 4 encounters in a day though.

Replacing a Racial Encounter power with a Racial Daily seems like opening a can of worms. The power is cool and flavorful, but it's going to matter a whole heck of a lot how many encounters you're packing into a "day".
