Tieflings are a direct result of the demonic invasion of Lorwyn. Invading demons who aren't slain quickly spread across the land and rarely reign in their baser instincts. As a result many a raped and tormented maiden have given birth to red skinned, horned infants. Due to their lineage most Tiefling met with fear, mistrust and outright disgust, especially from those who have lost family or loved ones to the demonic invasion.
Playing a Tiefling
If you choose to play a tiefling, modify your character as follows:
* Add 1 to your Communication ability.
* Pick one of the following ability focuses: Strength (Intimidation) or Dexterity (Legerdemain).
* You have Dark Sight, which allows you to see up to 20 yards in darkness without a light source.
* Infernal Resistance: Fire, including magical fire attacks, deals half damage to you.
* Your speed is equal to 10 + Dexterity (minus armor penalty if applicable).
* You can speak and read the Common Tongue and Infernal.
Roll twice on the Tiefling Benefits table for additional benefits. Roll 2d6 and add the dice together. If you get the same result twice, re-roll until you get something different.
