Brief History

Tieflings are sometimes called the fallen angerians, and it is often rumored that angerians with black wings are at least partially a tiefling. Tieflings are a race that should perhaps be confined to Xodod, and before the Desecration of the Fourth Era they were that. They are regarded as a xodod-demonic race by many. Their seductive and darker tendancies have been known to seduce powerful world leaders and bring down nations. Scorned by the pious and loved by the lustful, the tiefling is a race marred in superstition. But do not let the nay-sayer's fool you, there have been plenty accounts of noble and honest tieflings just as their have been acounts of dark and sinister angerians.

Positives & Negatives

Tieflings boast a natural immunity to pyromancy and psionic spells (20%). They however have a 10 penalty to their Will check against other mind control spells, but this is only with spells, as the tiefling is quite capable of maintaining control against other forms of mind control. They are scorned by the pious giving them a penalty determined by the GM and the situation when dealing with such in a way that doesn't involve violence. Those with any dark morality points may find themselves needing to make a will check not to find themselves seduced by the tiefling, even if the tiefling isn't trying to seduce them. Their darker nature starts them off with -10 dark morality points, but this can be overcome with dedication to the more noble way of living. Tieflings excel in thievery and performance, and always crit with fire or space magic.
