	Whilst tieflings in 3e retained their Intelligence bonus (now boosted to +2), their ability to see up to 60 feet in the dark, and their ability to cast Darkness once per day, they had changed a lot. Medium sized Native Outsiders, their former resistance to elemental damages had been downgraded to Energy Resistance (Cold, Electricity, and Fire) 5, and went from having penalties in Strength and Wisdom to suffering a -2 penalty to Charisma. They also gained a +2 racial bonus to Bluff and Hide checks, a +2 Dexterity increase, a [[Favored Class]] of [[Rogue]], and a [[Level Adjustment]] of +1. Like most exotic races, nothing they had was really worth that level adjustment, especially compared to the bonus feat Humans got.

	Strangely, ''[[~~Races of X\|~~Races of Destiny]]'' includes an error in its copy of the tiefling statblock, saying it lacks its trinity of Energy Resistances. As every other version of the statblock says they ''can'' resist Cold, Electricity and Fire, it's obviously an editing error that slipped through somewhere along the line.

	''Faultspawn'' are the offspring of [[Asura]]s, an ancestry manifested by a propensity towards reptilian features and androgyny (yes, full-fledged [[dickgirl]]s too). Like their ancestors, their senses of pity and mercy tend to be stunted - at ''best'' - and they are usually bitterly misotheistic, hating the gods and those who'd worship them. Even outside of religion, they are cruel and merciless to those who hold beliefs different to their own, and tend to be emotionally abusive.

They change their skill modifiers to Appraise and Knowledge (Local), and swap their spell-like ability from Darkness to Hideous Laughter.

They also possess vestigial extra body parts that came from a past incarnation, like shoulder blades, nonworking eyes or a mouth-like scare. They gain the ability to see falt in things, specifically to protect your self, especially if their Divine effect relates to their favorite deity. You also gain the ability to grow big and unleash a aura of destruction.

	One of the recurring themes of Tieflings is that others find them inherently unsettling. They tend to have [[Charisma]] bonuses, representing either their superior ability to intimidate others or the fact that [[monstergirl\|everybody wants to bang the horned chicks]], depending on who you ask. Hell, the two are not mutually exclusive.		One of the recurring themes of Tieflings is that others find them inherently unsettling.

	Tieflings are one of a handful of races considered "legitimate [[monstergirls]]" in D&D. Since their whole identity establishes them as looking strange and exotic, yet still very ~~recognizable~~ human, it's totally kosher to use "sexy demon chick" artwork for a female tiefling character. Plus, they're actually balanced for play, so you can have them running around with very little hassle - especially in the [[Nentir Vale]] setting, where the story of [[Bael Turath]] means that there's supposed to be whole villages full of them.

	==What's with the name?==		==Background==
			===What's with the name?===
	A semi-common question about the tieflings is this: what the heck does the name "tiefling" even mean? Well, according to Wikipedia, tieflings were named by [[Planescape]] co-designer [[Wolfgang Baur]] at the request of David "Zeb" Cook, who suggested a German name would somehow be particularly fitting for these fallen souls. Wolfgang's response was to combine the German word ''"tief"'', meaning "deep" or "low", with the suffix ''"ling"'', Germanic for "offspring". Thusly, "tiefling" directly translates as "Deepling" and spiritually translates as something more like "Low Spawn", a reference to their origins as the bastard progeny of the [[Lower Planes]]. However, it may also have been a somewhat mangled reference to the word ''"Teufel"'' (or perhaps bowdlerized-- they originated in 2nd edition after all), the German for "devil", thus rendering the name into, literally, bad German for "devilspawn".

	Mulhorandi tieflings (from planet [[Forgotten_Realms#Setting\|Toril]]) deviate somewhat from the concept of [[fiend\|fiendish]] ancestry as they primarily descended not from fiends but from the avatars of evil deities, and in the [[Nentir Vale]] setting the majority of first-generation tieflings arose via [[Tiefling#Archdevil_Tieflings\|infusions]] of the essences of the devil-god [[Asmodeus]] and his Archdevils.

	When the [[edgelord]] players of tiefling [[murderhobo\|characters]] want their tieflings to worship a deity, non-evil Death deities such as [[Pharasma]] and [[The_Raven_Queen\|Nera]] seem to be the most popular choices.

	Tieflings are mortals whose lineage is tainted by the blood or essence of a fiend - demon, devil, daemon, whatever - at some remote point in their ancestry. Not an ''actual'' fiend's kid, mind, (those are either [[Alu-Fiend]]s or [[Cambion]]s, depending on the gender), but one of their descendants. Basically, if a humanoid half-fiend has a kid, it'll probably be a tiefling, and after that the fiendish blood can also skip a few generations. Sometimes, it naturally occurs due to fiendish pacts, either in the pact-ee or their descendants.

	Though officially all tieflings can spring from all manner of humanoid races, most writeups tend to either focus on the human tieflings or make it so that the twisting influence of their fiendish blood defines them "more" than their parents being non-fiends. That said, 3.5 [[Forgotten Realms]] did do up the [[Tanarukk]] ([[orc]]-descended tieflings), the Mur-zhagul ([[troll]]-demon tieflings), and the [[Fey'ri]] ([[elf]]/[[succubus]] tieflings).

	The 2e tiefling first appeared in the "Player's Companion" component to the Planescape Campaign Setting boxed set. There, it was handled fairly simply; +1s to Int and Cha, -1s to Str and Wis, Infravision 60 feet, halving damage from Cold, +2 bonus to saving throws versus Fire, Electricity and Poison, and the ability to cast Darkness (15ft radius) once per day. Then "The Planeswalker's Handbook" introduced the legendary Tiefling customization tables, where you sacrifice the spell-like ability, cold resistance and saving throws bonus to make 5 rolls on a D100 Tiefling Abilities table and 1d4 rolls on a D100 Tiefling Appearance table.

	When 4th edition rolled around, [[Wizards of the Coast]] had a little discussion about races. The first thing they agreed upon was that [[gnome]]s were, frankly, kind of lame, and that whilst the [[half-orc]] had a certain appeal to edgelords, it generally wasn't very popular. Both of these races needed a lot more time to rework them if they were to actually be ''good'', rather than simply being included because "muh sacred cows!" So, for one replacement, they created the [[Dragonborn]]. For the other, they decided to give promotions to one of the most favored and loved "edgy" races of all D&D; the tiefling.
