I think it has a great B/X feel, it isn't over or under powered, and is cool enough that someone would definitely want to play one. <br />While the idea of a part infernal PC might seel silly to you, it's well represented in the swords and sorcery literature and something that fits well in a lot of campaigns. Dragon born, tieflings, and other unusual races might not be for everyone but they do have their fans.<br />I started playing D&D in 1979 and even then there were some gonzo homebrew floating around. I get really annoyed at these gatekeepers who decide that because they don't want something in their game, no one should have it.Kergillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01682103438938372364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-69851368933974302042019-03-08T14:52:49.711-08:002019-03-08T14:52:49.711-08:00???

Although the campaign never saw fruition, I once considered creating a tiefling character. It was in the context of Planescape and 2E. I don't remember the supplement but there was a random table to determine your tiefling's abilities. It was basically a demonic/diabolic version of creating an AD&D version of a Gamma World mutant so, yeah, I thought it was cool. Strictly, as an empirical observation, female gamers who I have been acquainted with preferred elves, half-elves, Drow & tieflings as PC races. Drow & tiefling being the choice for those wanting something edgier. Given that observation, it makes me wonder whether the churn you see online about tieflings and, more frequently, elves has less to do with legitimate gaming concerns and more to do with the he-man woman haters club. I'm not saying that is what is happening here but it is something that creative forces within the gaming community need to consider.

Only issue I’d have with it is the obvious infernal nature of tieflings would give away their heritage leading (presumably) to superstitious or resentful lynch mobs wherever they wandered. Much more interesting to me to have the fallen nobility indistinguishable from the general populace (i.e. looking like humans)...but maybe the issue doesn’t come up in a 4E campaign, where the focus (I presume) is on confrontation and combat.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-51207261412603565352019-03-01T12:24:20.852-08:002019-03-01T12:24:20.852-08:00Tangential: I played in a short 4E campaign that p...Tangential: I played in a short 4E campaign that posited the established setting was well after an empire that involved demon-worship (like The Great Kingdom in Greyhawk) fell due to a combination of barbarian invasion (orcs, leading to half-orcs scattered around) and internal revolts. Dragonborn were descendants of magically created troops and Tieflings were descendants of the corrupt nobility. The DM gave the Tiefling/Dragonborn dynamic that of the Membari and Narns in Babylon 5. It went a long way towards explaining why they were there and provided role-play hooks for the players.PatrickWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083947433803227063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-44486639353823838932019-02-26T14:32:57.859-08:002019-02-26T14:32:57.859-08:00Please don’t feed the awful modern PC races, pleas...Please don’t feed the awful modern PC races, pleaseScott Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067161332003628237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-56035679255894577682019-02-26T14:30:18.140-08:002019-02-26T14:30:18.140-08:00I like it, it's a simple version of the 3E/5E ...I like it, it's a simple version of the 3E/5E Sorcerer (which is what I used for Flying Swordsmen by the way). <br /><br />I'm also not a big fan of tieflings, dragonborn, goliaths, genasi, and all the other multitude of Mos Eisley Cantina races that WOTC likes to add to their games, but out of deference to my players who do (my son is the big dragonborn fan), I have my versions I posted on my blog yesterday. <br /><br />If I were going back to race-as-class in my house rules, I'd yoink this.
