  Tiefling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tieflings are planetouched — descended from evil creatures of the outer planes demons, devils, evil deities and other evil creatures.
In the 3rd Edition of Dungeons and Dragons, less common varieties of the tiefling were introduced, including a dwarven counterpart, the Maeluth and a halfling counterpart, the Wispling.
Tieflings tend to have an unsettling air about them, and most people are uncomfortable around them, whether they are aware of the tiefling's unsavory ancestry or not.

Tieflings are aware at an early age that they are different from the people around them, and often have strange urges, desires, or needs because of their evil heritage.
Thayan tieflings are usually the grandchildren of powerful wizards, birthed as part of some power scheme, and usually spend their lives as slaves or pawns to both sides of the family (although Nevron, the zulkir of Conjuration, is rumored to be a tiefling).
Tieflings have no common racial deity, but sometimes worship powerful demons, devils, or whatever divine being their ancestor serves (or that being itself, if the ancestor is a deity).

Tieflings are "planetouched"; that is, they are mortal creatures that have in their blood some otherworldly characteristics.
Tieflings are descended from demons, devils and other creatures of pure evil alignment; although their evil ancestor may be many generations removed, the taint still lingers.
In the Planescape campaign setting, tieflings are a common race available to player characters, though they are mistrusted and reviled by almost all other creatures across the planes.

 Lady's Cage Mush - Tiefling
It is true that throughout the rest of the planes, tieflings usually fall in with the fiends, serving them in one capacity or the other.
Even other tieflings don't trust each other, all of them are wretched refuse cast onto the teeming shores of the multiverse with nobody to rely upon, not even their own kin.
The idea of self-improvement is extremely appealing to the tieflings of Sigil; as they attempt to improve their lot in life, so do they move upwards through the multiversal ladder of ascension.

 Tiefling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The tieflings are one of the most numerous planetouched races, the offspring of humans and some lower planar denizen.
Tieflings are often driven to prove that they are better than their fiendish heritage, and thus try to stay on top of things, more so than most other folk.
These tieflings have come to terms with their past and are more focused in establishing a name for themselves, along with wealth and power.

 The Tiefling   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
It's not advisable to ask a tiefling about his or her ancestors, as the answer wouldn't likely be pleasant.
Tieflings prefer dark clothing: a shade of maroon like clotted blood, dark forest green, blue as dark as lapis, and a midnight fl that absorbs all light are their favorite colors.
Tieflings are self-reliant to the point of selfishness, and suspicious of authority and regulation.

 GameBanshee Forums - Tiefling or Asimar
Mine is Tiefling, normally bacause I enjoy messing aound with the whole "slowly being consumed by their infernal heritage" thing in a RP game.
Also the deal with Tieflings and Aasimars is that they aren't a half-race, they aren't even a quarter-race..these creatures are actually very far removed from their angelic/demonic background, but really..no matter how many times it is diluted, they will always have this taint which gives them the attributes that they have.
Also raised in the right environment a tiefling could be very proud of their heritage, and end up being a dark and evil but charismatic type, much like actual fiends can be.

 DDM: Quaggoths Attack   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Tiefling captain is way better than the blade master.
The blademaster is better for this warband since he improves their chance to hit, which is doubly important since it not only eliminates opponents but gives them the extra hp they need to survive as well, and the damage boost can also add up as well for 7 attackers.
I would only consider the Tiefling Cpt now when I have fewer points left to fit in a commander (or in very special warband where your figs have multiple attacks as with the ettin thus increasing the chance for a crit).

The tieflings of Palpatur use the planetouched (tiefling) statistics in the MM except as noted in this section.
Reduced to a primitive state, the tieflings settle in the titanic cromungi, separated into tribes according to differences in the practice of their faith.
Because all tieflings have a fiendish ancestor somewhere in their lineage, they exhibit physical traits that suggest their demonic or devilish heritage.

 EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Reducing tiefling to ECL 0
The reason is that dedicated spellcasters tend to value the key ability for their spellcasting significantly more than any ability score, to the point that some players may see an LA 0 race with a mental ability bonus to be a basically obligatory race for their casting character.
As it stands now, the tiefling is probably balanced with the 3.5e dwarf on the strong end of LA 0.
One of my houserules includes changing the ability mods of several races, and I have three races receiving a mental bonus-- for the Elf and Gnome, I feel this is balanced because their FC is a spellcaster with a different casting stat, and in the Half-Elf's case because they are weak, anyway.

 Neverwinter Nights: What is a tiefling?
Tieflings (or planetouched) are half-breeds of planar races, like demons and devils.
Tieflings are actually not half-fiends--they are distantly related to a half-fiend.
A tiefling is someone much further down the family tree: the fiendish blood has thinned somewhat over the generations, and they no longer really qualify as a half-fiend.

This is not so much a "rule" as an adaptation.  Put simply- Any character in our campaign may, at creation, take aasimar, tiefling, or one of the genasi as a template.  The benefits, as well as the +1 to character level, found in chapter 2 of the Planewalker rules are applied.
Tieflings have an outsider ancestor that's a bit further back in the family tree.
So, a tiefling whose family is human would be templated, but the tiefling offspring of other tiefers would be a standard tiefling.

TIEFLING - The product of an encounter between a mortal and a fiend some generations ago, a tiefling's blood still exudes some of the taint from the lower planes.
While this corruption of the blood grants a tiefling a measure of quickness and personality, it saps away at the strength usually given mortal men.
I'm pretty sure the Tiefling is, because it has a STR penalty, and it's not offset by being Small (+1 hit).

Whereas that first tiefling (which was based on a Chainmail mini) seemed primarily suited to playing a part on the bad guys' side of things, the Tiefling Blademaster could easily find a job on either side of the fence -- as a sinister villain or as a menacing hero.
If the ruddy skin tone didn't give away the Tiefling Blademaster's fiendish heritage, the pair of bone-colored horns sprouting at the leading edge of his raven-back hairline do the job.

It is also possible, and even likely that not all tieflings will have the same innate powers.
Because of this, the following two tables were cre- ated to add variety to tieflings, and should be used at the time of character creation.
The tiefling ability table should be rolled on five times, the results used in place of the standard infravision, darkness, 15' radius ability, and re- sistances to cold, fire, electricity and poison.

Her flaming hair or unusual eyes might well be the most obvious oddity about Amber, but the first thing you notice about her is likely to be the uneasy feeling of something being slightly off-kilter that hangs about her.

Her natural curiosity is both a blessing and a curse: she has learned a lot because of it but it has never kept her out of trouble.

Actually the variants are just a table you can roll on to randomly generate powers for the tiefling rather than using the standerd ones (although they are on the chart as well) to reflect the various different things that could have put the taint into the blood line.
If you wanted you could translate those 3rd ed tieflings back into 2nd ed (but that won't work with what you suggested that you'd have to make up as you went along.
I had the impression they could be LG due to partially evil, partially chaotic blood, and I made a specification on size because I guess that between demons, devils and daemons at least some are of a smaller variety, either be them meaner or weaker).
