Tiefling

Carrying the taint of evil in their forms—and perhaps their very souls—Tieflings are often persecuted and feared throughout the planes. The distant descendants of humans and evil outsiders, Tieflings are regarded as twisted, devious, and untrustworthy. More often than not, this opinion is accurate.

Tieflings look human (and are roughly the same height and weight as members of that race), except for one or two distinguishing features related to their unusual ancestry. Some examples of these features include small horns, pointed teeth, red eyes, a whiff of brimstone about them, cloven feet, or red skin. No two Tieflings look alike.


 * Good Dexterity, high Intelligence, poor Charisma: Tieflings are nimble, and bear the fierce cunning of their fiendish line. Unfortunately, they also inherit the personality quirks.


 * Outsider: Tieflings are outsiders native to the Material Plane, and thus have the outsider (native) type. They gain the extra-planar subtype when not on the Material Plane. They are not subject to spells or effects that affect only humanoids, such as charm person and dominate person.


 * Tieflings have darkvision out to 60 feet.


 * Skills: Tieflings have a racial bonus on Bluffing and Hiding attempts giving them one extra grade in these skills, granted that they unlock the skill first.


 * Darkness: A Tiefling can use darkness, as the spell, once per day. Her caster level is equal to her spell tier when applicable. Otherwise it is at tier 3.


 * Resistance to cold, electricity, and fire: Tieflings share some of their fiendish ancestors’ resistance to energy damage.


 * Favored Class: Rogue.

Tieflings reach adulthood at about the same age as humans but are longer-lived, with the eldest members of the race living to be 150 years old.
