Or anything else, when you get down to it.

As a former spotty gothy adolescent who favored laid-back halflings and aristocratic, lovelorn elves in those days, I resent that.

What does 'spotty' mean?

Feel free.

Acne-ridden, I believe, in this context.

If that's the case, most of us were spotty at some point.

I was concerned it involved wearing a clown suit or something like that.

I loved the Planescape Tieflings and the 4e Tieflings. The 4e one was more clearly a full race whereas the Planescape was more of half-race, a human with some stuff, like a half-elf or half-orc which always led to the Spock Conundrum of which parent your PC would feel more attached to.

The 4e Tiefling had a different issue, more focussed on their reaction to the loss of their ancient empire than their ties to devils. The Bael Turath thing was a really fun for my 4e campaigns. I prefer them to the Drow.

I am not a FR fan as I've always seen it as a WTF kitchen sink setting so I must laugh at all this online purity panic. FR 5e will do the same thing as 4e, aka shoehorning in whatever new races, new classes, new whatever that WotC wants to sell.

FR is absolutely Kitchen sink, it's one of the cool things about it.

It still does have a feel and atmosphere all it's own mind.

And it's much bigger and more varied than the vast majority of Kitchen sinks.

I just don't get all the moping from some corners that both styles of tieflings are being supported.

Like it isn't enough that one gets to keep the kind they want, they also have to deny someone else the kind they want.

What a shitty way to be.

Indeed, also extra irony because some of them keep screaming about how people who look forward to Next want to destroy their fun. Hysterical, in both meanings etc. There aren't enough :rolleyes: in the world basically.

Well, good luck with that.

I want both options, hell I want FR's 51 flavors of elf. Options are good, I just wish they were setting specific and people would shut the hell up about it.

Golarion has setting-specific tieflings, you know.

Which I know jack about.

It all begins with Cheliax.

Personally, I have a statistically large number of tieflings on Varisia where Cheliax colonies were located.
