My favourite character was a Tiefling son of a pit fiend who became a wizard to spite his father instead of a warlock

I made a tiefling who despises her own heritage mainly because of how she was treated because of it and so became a druid in the wilderness with the help of the blind druid who raised her

Tieflings have always been my favorite D&D race. Something about them being outcasts really appeals to a lot of people, that and the opportunity to go wild and have fun with their appearance. I tend to play them as clerics or Paladins

Playing Hellboy in D&D is on my character bucket list

Nothing is more fun than being a tiefling wizard/warlock, casting a fire spell that hits everything in the room including yourself and having your racial resistance to fire trigger nullifying most if not all of the damage to you. It always sets up an extremely thematic moment, picturing a magic demon being causing this huge explosion and then walking through the residual fires like its just a particularly hot afternoon.

A tiefling build I recently came up with: Battlemaster fighter with sentinel feat. Once your enemy comes into your range, they are doomed because you have a reaction for every possibility. Trys to run --> gets hit and speed reduces to zero, so no running away (Sentinel) Attacks someone else --> gets hit (Sentinel) Attacks me and miss --> gets hit (Battlemaster with riposte maneuver) Attacks me and hits --> gets exploded (Hellish rebuke from Tiefling racial ability)

Toril 13 sounds like the title of a heist movie

Demon waifus of dnd

My very first character was a tiefling rogue who ended up being the embodiment of all of my anxieties on accident- absolute blast to play

Kinda think it was stupid for them for the most part, to toss out all of the unique styles they could originally have.

Oooo. A tiefling of Bashaba with elk horns? Thanks for the idea! Tymora and Bashaba are my favorite deities and tiefling are one of my favorite races.

Actually, tieflings can happen from a wide variety of things tied to Lower Planes - sometimes even conceiving a child on it is enough for it to be born as a tiefling, which leads to tiefling traits that reflect the plane and layer of their origin, not their parent. But my most favorite tieflings are the Pathfinder's Motherless - tainted by qlippoth (obyrith demons in D&D speak, like Sibriex from MToF), they are nauseating amalgamations of man and horrid, primordial monster from before dawn of mortalkind. They are called "the Motherless" for one simple reason - no woman survives their birth, as they claw their way out of the womb, driven by instinct of an antideluvian, bestial, but simultaneously intelligent beyond mortal comprehension fiend. Does not make them bad folks, though, even if understandably sad.

In Erin M. Evans books, Brimstone Angels Saga, she writes about Tieflings and dealing with Asmodeus and his climb to godhood. They are really good, if you hadn't read them i so recommend all 6!

Tiefling Bard is where my heart went ♥ soon to multi class ;)

Tieflings are my favorite. I have 3 active in games right now, a bard, a rogue, and a barbarian. I love how vastly different their appearances can be; it makes it so much fun to create and draw tieflings. Two of them have hooves, horns, and forked tongues, one is red, one is purple, one is solid white. They all have different horns and I gave their tales different shaped tips and the rogue's is prehensile as hell and ahfjdbskshdbd they're just the best, so much fun. I wanna create one that's triton-based, he'd be kind of a merman-tiefling... A merfling...

I feel like tiefling warlock is a little cliche, but I wouldn't mind playing one with a celestial patron

Hi, I have recently got back into DM'ing after a very long break. (1st ed to 5th, phew !). I have been binge watching your videos, and cannot thank you enough! You really have helped me transition and bring myself up to date. Through your history lessons I have been able to cement my campaign setting into my players previous experiences and the games they have played in the 5e version. I knew nothing of the Forgotten Realms or Faerun setting and was a little scarred that my lack of understanding of those settings would be too jarring and unsettling for them. With your help I can now weave things together and make the new new campaign fit into their previous adventures. Thanks so much. Lee

Tiefling Barbarian I think would be fun. Embrace their devilish rage and smack someone down. lol

Not even half way through the play list...I've bought so many books because of you... your an amazing human for thus lore dive

The Tiefling Neeshka from Neverwinter Nights 2 was always my favorite Tiefling!

I love you channel and look forward to Wednesdays! And who could not love a tiefling? My tiefling sorcerer Shortbread is a magical gigolo. So much fun.

My first character was a tiefling fighter, Rynen, that was found, adopted, raised, and trained by wood elves. She had a corrupted elven name, oddly enough means ruby ritual, ritual being the corrupted character as a red tiefling. She has a very specific god she “follows” which is the elven god of nature.

I have 2 tiefs, an Ancients-Oath Paladin of Lathander directly sired on an evil human nobleman by an Asmodean devil he was bargaining with, and a Dispaterian Arcane Trickster conman

My Tiefling is a Neutral Good Cleric and priest, worshipping Tyr and the Triad. Bucking all the stereo types. :D

I'm watching this because of the D&D series from Outsidexbox. One of the characters is Prudence, a Tiefling Warlock who made a pact with Cthulhu. She is played by Jane Douglas and they have six aventures posted on youtube so far.

My first character was a Tiefling Circle of the Forest Druid (Born with Cloven hooves and his Horns turned into Antlers, either due to genetics or due to being raised on Druidic Magic) who was raised by a Tabaxi and Bronze Dragonborn and sheltered from the fact that Tiefling are outcasts (Or that he was Even a Tiefling). Made for a Fun aspect since a lot of people ran into him and were like "Wait, a druid? That's unusual for a Tiefling" And he's just sort of "It is? I'll keep that in mind if I ever meet a Tiefling Druid." And be just 100% clueless because he lived in the freaking woods his entire life up until he got sent out because his "masters" realized he needed some real life experience dealing with people since he was easily taken advantage of by wanderers.

thought i'd do some research on Tieflings before my second DnD sesh! My Tiefling is named Cyana Haddock, she was abandoned as a baby and raised by Goblins, and is now the adoptive daughter of a Goblin chief!

You forgot the Empire of Bael-Turath Love your content!

One of the players in my home brew is a teifling rouge who polymorhed into a human do hide from her father (a lower devil working for Tiamat, she joins the party to stop a green dragon, but during the story, my character, a lizardfolk ranger knew she was a teifling because of her smell of brimstone, but he promised not to tell but suggest she tell them, she was however forced to reveal herself as she and some over members were captured by drow and their queen used a spell to reveal her true form, she reveals that the green was working with her father to help with a dark ritual, when the whole party confronted her on the matter, she was expecting hostility but was only told off for not believing they wouldn't accept her for who she was as a person

Any chance of a video on the draegloth?

I play a Tiefling cleric of Kelemvor and loved it.

im currently playing a lvl 6 Glasya tiefling moon druid, I spend most my time as a goat.

Im currently playing a stupid purple tief and i love her So Much, and this is great!

You mentioned a tiefling Rogue! That's my character in our current campaign about nightwalkers. I also play a version of her in bg3 and love it so much. Her backstory gives her experience in suppressing her emotions and feeling invisible, which makes her adept at keeping a cool head in combat and hiding in the shadows between emotionally-charged attacks that build up between battles. Highly recommend tiefling rogues, even if my opinion is biased!

3:02 is a picture of Sith lords lol

Would love to see Aasimar video just as well! :)

I'm a DM and although I'm not supposed to have favourites my favourite npc is a tiefling bard named Guanyu who's the daughter of a wood elf and a succubus. She's great fun to play.

When are you going to do the Tabaxi?

Tiefling Warlock is a lot like Human Fighter; it's a cliche for a reason! Besides, just because everyone else has already done it doesn't mean YOU have yet!

Star Druid tiefling working as spy for the Harpers

Player's Handbook 5e: Skin Color; "Human Skin Tones, or Fiendish Tones, like shades of red" Also PHB 5e, Tieflings, Depicts a Tiefling, with purple skin

I just made a tiefling cleric xD tonight is the first gathering for the group to play so this will deff be interesting xD

Should do the unapproachable east next

I love Tiefling-Rakshas Druids or Tiefling-Fallen Aasamar Paladins, All are good choices, it's sad that they're stapled with a "favored class" when Tieflings, especially with heritage can be as versatile as a Human or unique as a "Half-Orc Cleric of Helm."

kind of just starting out in d&d I don't really have much going for mine but I just have a tiefling bard

The random star wars picture just sidetracked this whole video for me. lol 3:01 if your wondering. its a picture of 4 jedi falling into darkness and discovering Korriban. i forget exactly who they are save that 1 of them is Ajunta Pall. one of the original dark lords of the sith and founder of the Sith Empire. Similarities between Sith (species) and Tieflings are uncanny. later depictions would lose the horns and it would be common to have tendrils hanging off their face. I am a huge lore nerd for many settings and Dungeons and Dragons is the new setting im starting to get into and was curious about the tiefling lore. i think i expected more of an oblivion scenario where the hells attempted to invade the sword coast or something and was pushed back and the tieflings are a race descended from the frontline pawns caught on the other side when the gates to the hells were closed. essentially making them descendants of daemonic peasants and footsoldiers of hell. the actual lore isnt bad. just didnt meet expectations i guess. lol granted im still very new to D&D stuff so there may be something im failing to notice or some deeper stuff i havent got to yet that will change my thoughts. =)

I have a tiefling who is a echo knight fighter Multiclassed with warlock and he's awesome

Just started my Tiefling Lore bard, working on the details and it is hard to find much mention of dieties expect Assie taking followers these days...

I love the idea of a tiefling cleric who is accepted by nobody but a god of light at war with the fiends that created the tiefling in the first place.

how do you feel about the tiefling lore that they are the result of a broken pact between a warlock and their (edit) devilish patron? since this can happen at any time this creates new unique tiefling bloodlines and plays up the "cursed" part of their heritage. also, are you of the opinion that the tiefling racial traits are dominant in the children of a tiefling/(other) union, creating essentially another tiefling despite their other parent, or so you think it's more of a half-elf situation where the traits of the tiefling parent are mixed and in the case of further intermarriage could be made inconsequential? (a 1/8th tiefling would be almost indistinguishable from another race) this scenario is why i personally prefer the "curse" interpretation of their bloodlines, because the person who made/broke the pact is cursed to be a (edit) devil themselves and all their children will bear the same curse. your great great great grandfather was a human man who made a deal with the devil? bam! he's transformed into a tiefling and then he had a tiefling child, who had a tiefling child, who... (etc). this may also add to races distrusting or not being interested in tieflings for partners because they're guaranteed to have a tiefling child which in the eyes of some snobbier races would cloud their bloodline. on a continuing note from the business of pacts, i think a descendant of the original warlock in their family who broke the pact could potentially seek out the (edit) devil that their ancestor wronged and complete the deal to remove the curse, but since most deals happened centuries and centuries back, this is more of a wild goose chase, cementing tieflings as a permanent race in the forgotten realms. i love tieflings!

Hey Jorphdan big fan since the beginning! I wanted to ask, are gnomes on the list for upcoming race videos? I found 5e's description about them lacking and have made my own terrible OC about them. (They're half-dwarf/ half-halfling) I would really love some solid answers for my players about gnomes, thanks.

The thumbnail isn’t a tiefling but a fire gensei

Hey Jorphdan, what about the plane touched beings that are the opposite of the fiendish plane touched beings? -Double D

In my homebrew setting, there is nothing that says a Tiefling can't have to appearance of other races mixed with their infernal heritage. Orc Tieflings, Gnome Tieflings, etc. My favorite were Warforged Tieflings I introduced as constructs who gained sentience and longed for purpose after the infernal magics that powered them spun out of control.

Make a Tiefling paladin that files his horns and you got yourself a Hellboy

To build on this episode's fine expose on Faerunian tiefling lore, let's talk briefly about their wider lore: Tieflings first debuted in the Planescape setting, being one of the three new PC races introduced in the campaign setting boxed set, alongside the Bariaur and the Githzerai. Though the fluff of tieflings being hyper-mutable mutts of the Lower Planes existed from the start, mechanical support for this didn't come until the Complete Planewalker's Handbook, released two years later; this provided D100 tables of variant racial traits and possible appearance traits. This book also introduced the tieflings' counterparts, the Aasimar and the Genasi; Aasimar did not get a similar "appearance table" until the obscure Warriors of Heaven splatbook, whilst Genasi never got one at all, to my knowledge. After Sigil, the Forgotten Realms is home to the largest official population of fiend-blooded tieflings, due to the myriad evil mages, dark magocracies, fiend-cults and fiendish invasions the world has experienced over countless centuries. Faerun is even home to five distinct tiefling subraces; Durzagons (duergar/barbazu tieflings), Worghests (barghest/goblin tieflings), Baphitaurs (Baphomet-blooded minotaur tieflings), Tanarukks (orc tieflings) and Fey'ri (elf tieflings). The artwork for tieflings changed in the early 2010s with the release of 4th edition; there are multiple reasons for this, as discussed in Wizards Presents: Races & Classes, but the main drive was for a more coherent art-style and a race that would be more easily distinguished by casual viewers. Plus, most pre-4e tiefling art fell into the "horns, tail, hooves, or any combination thereof" camp anyway. The Nentir Vale setting, core setting of D&D 4e, is the third setting with a canonical major tiefling presence. In 4e, tieflings descend from a human empire called Bael Turath, which sought to avert its waning power through elaborate infernal pacts with Asmodeus and the archdevils of Baator, transforming all Turathans into a fiendish version of themselves. There is a still a certain level of mutability in Nentir Vale tieflings, but it's based more on soul-pacts rather than physical mutations. The Broken Mirror lineage, for example, are walking beacons of bad luck. The Blightseer lineage sees visions of ruin and entropy, which they can use to age and wither whatever they look at. Bloodcrowned Courtiers have the ability to transform into monstrous versions of themselves in battle. When Bael Turath fell, the tieflings scattered across the world, and whilst there is still a certain level of distrust, this happened so long ago that there is no concerted active prejudice against them.

I have a tifling that was adopted by halflings, so she has a cheery personality and has no real clue on her races history

There's a greek-like DnD setting where tieflings were rare and the result of a powerful spellcaster making a pact with fiendish beings. My tiefling paladin was the result of his father making a deal go strike a blow against a rival house. Rival house had made a deal with the same being to destroy my paladin's family. Being did it by stalling the conception until the birth would line up on a night that meant bad omens. Add onto his mother not being able to survive the birth, it became a crap show that had my tiefling paladin being given to the brother of a house guard as an alternative to having him drowned like his brother's wanted. Really sad the campaign stalled because it was hinted that his quest would give him answers concerning his family.

I have a Paladin... and a Warlock... but I think I’m going to design my Hexadin from scratch as a Tiefling.

I once played a devil-tiefling fallen paladin. He died. Horribly. _Kicks rug over bubbling puddle of melted devil-northman flesh that was once known as Gunnarr Hálf-Horn_ The poor bastard made the mistake of showing up to fight one of his kin we were way under-levelled to be fighting... and was melted by our sorcerer. Because I have the worst luck with my deaths. I don't remember exactly what level were supposed to be at, but not a three-man party at first level (there were supposed to be six of us), and the DM didn't take any mercy on our underpowered and undermanned asses even though the guy was literally jusy sitting in the middle of a forest and waiting for us. Lost the rest of that horn, too. Because acid.

My sister plays a tiefling cleric, she wanted to play a tiefling trying to correct the image the rest of Faerun had of them. Crazy idea but no more crazy than her adventuring companion being my halfelf who convently ended up as a werewolf, long story not getting into it.

I usually go for a tiefling barbarian.

In the Baldurs Gate game, they should have made the protagonist a tiefling, since he was a child of Bhall.

Are tieflings on Ebberon seen differently than tieflings on Faerun?

and then we have Jester

Great video. I'm playing as one in neverwinter. All because of d&d book series

A Tiefling with only cat-eyes to tell them apart? No wonder Witcher get treated so poorly, they're clearly all the products of Rakshasa's misadventures.

With Baulder’s Gate 3 on the horizon, I’m looking to make a Chaotic Neutral Teithling girl who’s a trickster thief but has a heart of gold for the less fortunate. I have a thing for monster girls. Probably why I played a Lizard Girl in Divinity Original Sin 2 who rejects the Lizard ideology of slavery.

I’ve always wanted to play a Tiefling Paladin who is Lawful Good, the shining example of kindness & heroism, and who acts completely ignorant of his heritage like literally pretends he’s NOT a scarlet red fiend-spawn lol

I told my Dm that I wanted to do a tiefling with draconic ancestry who’s a rogue specifically a burglar 😂

Haha am I the only loser who wants to play a tiefling barbarian? 8,D I dunno being atypical is fun

Isn't there also a large Tiefling population in Calimshan?

Out of curiosity, why did you use the ancient dark Jedi to represent the Tieflings in this video? It is at 3:04. Not bashing, just curious. :)

Mad props for presenting the full variety of tieflings prior to Asmodeus! I wish Tome of Foes had gone beyond devilish types of tiefling.

In Ravenloft I’m a Tiefling Warlock and I do all my shady business from my brothel the Black Rose

Hi guys going to have my first Dungeons and Dragons experience in a few days any advice?

Teifling planes walker ranger

do aasimar

What about a Tiefling Druid

You didn't mention the Fey'ri.

Can we get a Kobolds also?

Hehe.. "tiny" pact with a devil.

now make a vido on Aasimars plz

The most (in)famous Tiefling is probably Venger, the bad guy from the 80s D & D cartoon. Well, technically his backstory means he is not a "true" Tiefling, since he was actually a human who was magically transformed and doesn't have the bloodline, but his appearance most closely corresponds to that character type. Point is, do videos on the old cartoon -_-

Are minotaurs tieflings?

I decided to make a tiefling who was the child of two "regular" humans and just loved their kid LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE! He's an adventurer who just wants to help people. (No angsty boy just Goodfiend)

My Favorite race

So wait, can two human parents have a tiefling baby? And I'm guessing two tieflings always make a tiefling baby? I'm playing dnd for the first time soon and i need to make a character

A God trapped in the body of a teifling

1:22 sounded so gay, I love it🤣

be a Tiefling. make pact with a celstial

¿Elfs or orcs's sons could be Tieflings?

Why is it there is the ph is silent? Like, it's not even a common silent letter combo. I'm just confused Good video though, thank you.

I Read the Brimstone Angel Series. ghad its hard to like the main character Farideh

Wait... that can't be right my mom is a Night Hag and I was born as a human!?

Doesn't that Rakshasa have reversed hands?

Wait, if Tieflings are descendants of devils, what is the difference between a Tiefling and a Cambion?

Where the Tiflings come in Baldur gate 3? They keep saying the empire was destroy and the city fell to Avernus. Soo... from where are they? Another planet? Or?

Tiefling were created by the red mages

ur next PC name: Joran, the PHD is silent
