Similar to humanoids who evolved to be [[Aasimar|aasimar]] by their exposure to positive moral energy, tieflings evolved from humanoids who were exposed to the negative moral energy of Agony. Due to the endless depths of Agony, a variety of tieflings evolved to handle different environments. For example, devilish tieflings tend to be what people most often think of when they visualize the species; but, there are also demonic tieflings, who can look slightly more grotesque and disfigured—as some demons do. --- ### Appearance & Biology All tieflings have horns, and long, pointed, black nails. No tieflings on Yanis have tails; though, this is a common misconception. As far as height goes, tieflings tend to lean on the taller side. Tiefling can reproduce with most other humanoids. ##### Devilish Tiefling Devilish tieflings look closer to cambions than their demonic counterparts. Though, they can sport qualities of different devilish creatures, like _abishai_, or _horned devils_. ##### Demonic Tiefling As mentioned above, demonic tieflings can look closer to devilish tieflings when they have the traits of demons like _incubus_ or _succubus_; but, they can also look much more horrific and twisted when they have the visual characteristics of demons like _armanite_, _draegloth_, or _quasit_. --- ### Species Traits #### Core Traits > [!custom-trait-locked]- 1️⃣ Darkvision. > - Darkvision up to 60 feet. > [!custom-trait-locked]- 2️⃣ Fiendish Resistance. > - [[Combat#Damage|Necrotic]] and [[Combat#Damage|fire]] or [[Combat#Damage|necrotic]] and [[Combat#Damage|cold]] resistance. #### Optional Traits > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 2️⃣ Hellish Grasp. > - Once per long rest, as an action, you can touch and harm a creature a number of d4s up to or equal to your proficiency bonus. > - The damage is either fire damage or cold damage—depending on the type you chose for your **_Fiendish Resistance_** trait. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Intimidating Presence. > - Proficiency in intimidation. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 2‍⃣ Superior Darkvision. > - Darkvision up to 120 feet > - Replaces **_Darkvision._** > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 1️⃣ Unredeemable Soul. > - Advantage on saving throws to avoid or end [[Conditions#Cursed|curses]] and [[Conditions#Hexed|hexes]]. > - Ignores magic resistance for [[Celestials|celestial]] creatures. > [!custom-trait-unlocked]- 3️⃣ Winged Ascension. > - Permanent wings, grant you a flying speed of 30 feet. > - You may not use this flying speed while wearing armor weighing 40 lbs. or more. #### Devilish Tiefling Traits #### Demonic Tiefling Traits %% ## Notes ### Name Options: Dæmnar %%
