Tiefling

A tiefling is part human and part something else. However long ago the blood of an Outsider mingled with the family tree, that influence is particularly strong in the tiefling character, more so even than the merely mystical influence of a Sorcerer's bloodline. The tiefling may have bestial legs, vestigial horns, a mouth full of sharp teeth, fiery eyes, scaly skin, or even a barbed tail. Just as often, though, the mark of his heritage is more subtle, but no less unsettling and strange -- a preternatural gleam of the razor's edge in his eyes, a presence that makes animals cower or attack and flowers wilt, or the scent of the charnel house in his wake.

Of course, most people are not even aware tieflings walk among humans, believing all fiends and their kin have grotesque, unignorable features such as voluminous bat wings, huge ram horns, long barbed tails, and gnarled claws, that make it impossible for them to pass unnoticed among normal folk. Some may not even believe in the beings of the Outer Planes, if they are lucky enough to have never knowingly encountered such creatures face to face. Those who know, however, are -- perhaps understandably -- prone to prejudice, to great distrust and even fear of tieflings.

New Rules

Even when there is no obvious marker of a tiefling's heritage, a Knowledge (Planes) check against a DC of 10 can identify him as one of the Plane-Touched. With a DC 25, the particular fiendish heritage may be identified, given some time to study the tiefling. Such a check should only be made if the character has reason to believe there is something unnatural about the tiefling, however; it is not a passive detection ability.

• Munchkin Warning: The wings should not normally be concealable without binding them so that they are unusable, and the tail should not normally be concealable without covering it so that it too is unusable, such as with skirts or petticoats too thick to allow free movement. Unbinding concealed wings should not be dismissed as a standard action, either. If this seems too difficult to adjudicate, or the social effects of being seen as having demonic claws and vestigial wings is not relevant to the campaign, this Legacy may be in appropriate for PCs.

Negative social effects should realistically make this one of the weakest Fiendish Legacies in a roleplaying intensive campaign, but in more average or even strictly tactical campaigns the social effects are probably very easy to ignore.
