Homebrew Tiamat Tiefling Species Details

"I am, and have always been, a creator."

-- Tiamat, goddess of all Chromatic dragons

 

Chromatic Bloodline

These Tieflings originated in the same way as normal Tieflings, however, their bloodline has been infused with the unholy vigor of the goddess of Chromatic dragons, Tiamat. This being said, they have certain dragon-like traits, like horns and scaly patches on their skin. They can have the coloring of some or all of the Chromatic dragons, and may display certain temperaments in line with these dragons. Nevertheless, they are not under Tiamat's thrall, and can have any alignment or personality. 

 

MET WITH MISTRUST

Ignorant people tend to be suspicious of tieflings, assuming that their infernal heritage has left its mark on their personality and morality, not just their appearance. The reality is that a tiefling’s bloodline doesn’t affect their personality. They are gifted with magic from the infernal realms but chart their own course in life.
