Hey everyone.


I know a Tiefling has the ratial stats:
+1 Cha, +1 Int, -1 Str, -1 Wis

But what kind of other abilities do they have? I'm hunting for some planescape books since we're going to start up a 2nd edition AD&D campaign here in a week.

Tiefling characters gain a +1 bonus on Intelligence and Charisma scores, but suffer a -1 penalty to Strength and Wisdom. Tieflings can be of any alignment save lawful good. They also gain a number of special abilities, based on their mysterious heritage: They possess infravision to a range of 60 feet and have the ability to create darkness, 15-foot radius once per day. Tieflings suffer only half damage from cold-based attacks, and they gain a +2 bonus to all saving throws vs. fire, electricity, or poison.

These are Tiefling standard abilities, as reported in Planescape Campaign setting boxed set, but in The Planewarker's Handbook a lot of strange abilities, appearences and side effects are reported. Becouse of their varied backgrounds, it's possible, even likely, that not all tieflings posses the same innate powers and appearences. On page 80 you find 3 tables to randomly roll abilities, appearences and side effects.

Wow, thanks a lot! Now to get set at making one. Never played a tiefling or in planescape, and only barely done some 2nd edition AD&D and that ended poorly...
