E.15 Tiefling

Tieflings are humanoid creatures descended from fiends. They inherit a tendency towards evil from their ancestors, and are therefore viewed with great suspicion by most civilized societies. Good-aligned tieflings exist, but they may have difficulty using their natural talents for subterfuge and deceit for noble ends, and they often struggle with hidden vices. Size: Medium. Attributes: No change. Special Abilities:

• Darkvision: Tieflings have darkvision with a 60 foot range, allowing them to see in complete darkness (see Darkvision).
• Demonic Prejudice: Most people have negative associations with tieflings thanks to the malign influence that demons have on the world. Tieflings have an Opposition relationship with most people that they meet, which influences people’s behavior and makes Persuasion checks harder (see Persuasion). People in some locations, such as the Abyss, do not have this attitude.
• Hellfire Tolerance: Tieflings are impervious to Fire attacks.
• Infernal Presence: Tieflings gain a +2 bonus to the Deception and Intimidate skills.
• Tiefling Archetype: You may choose three class archetypes, as normal. However, you may choose the Tiefling archetype in place of one of your class archetypes. If you do, you gain ranks in it just like you gain ranks in class archetypes. You cannot choose tiefling as your base class.

Automatic Languages: Abyssal, Common, any one common language.
