Tieflings are a race of people who were infused with the touch of the fiendish planes, most often through descent from fiends who had bred, or otherwise consorted, with humans. They are known for their cunning and personal allure, which made them excellent deceivers as well as inspiring leaders when prejudices were laid aside Although their evil ancestors could be many generations removed, the taint lingered. Unlike half-fiends, tieflings were not predisposed to evil alignments and varied in alignment nearly as widely as full humans. They have physical characteristics derived from their ancestor, with the most common being horns, prehensile tails, and pointed teeth. Some tieflings also presented eyes that were solid orbs of black, red, white, silver, or gold, while others have eyes more similar to those of humans. Other, more unusual characteristics included a sulfurous odor, cloven feet, or a general aura of discomfort they left on others. Tiefling skin was usually human-like in color, though extending past normal human colors into reddish hues as well.
