I'm working on some ideas for an upcomming campaign and one of my players wants to play the illigitimate child of his former character who met a rather messy end. Anyway, this character was a half-fiend (Eyrines) human. At the time there was no thought given to possible offspring. I checked my notes and realized that the mother was a half-fiend (sucubus) human. After I collected the remains of my shattered mind. I was left with this to ponder. What the heck would the child be? By the math it's half fiend, but it's really a half-&-half fiend. Any help would be great.

If we call Fiend an allele in a normal two allele system we get three choices: ff - normal human Ff - One fiend, one normal human FF - Two fiend genes I'd say your character would be either a half-fiend, a Tiefling, or a normal human. Just choose.

Ie, 2 half-fiends gives a half-fiend just like 2 half-orcs give a half-orc. Though, as Primus has pointed out, the offspring could be any of the 3.

Personally, I'd say the child is a half-fiend, but if you wanted a lower power PC, you could go with a tiefer. Still, this is a fantasy, game, and you're the DM, you could say anything you want. Don't feel like there's some predetermined outcome that you have to reach. It's your game and if you say that two half-fiends make a girallon then that's just the way it works.
