Does starting out with the half-fiend or fiendish templates from the MM qualify my players for PrCs and spells from the BoVD that have "Fiend" as a prerequisite?

Since half-orc lets you use orc stuff, and half-elf lets you use elf stuff, half-fiend should let you use fiend stuff. I'm not sure about the fiendish template though, as I think fiend refers specifically to special creatures from the lower planes like demons and devils, and fiendish is for otherwise fairly normal creatures that happen to inhabit those planes.

Of course, you can also disallow any spells or feats you think will be disruptive from those lists. But anything you think is allowable should be allowable for half-fiends.
