Homebrew Gehenna Tiefling Species Details

Gehenna Tieflings are either born in the Gehenna or have fiendish ancestors who originated there. This connection to the Gehenna is the tiefling’s fiendish legacy, which comes with the promise of power yet has no effect on the tiefling’s moral outlook.

A tiefling chooses whether to embrace or lament their fiendish legacy.

Horns, spines, tails, hooves, and cracked rocky skin reveling a magma like substance in sections, and a faint odor of sulfur or smoke are common physical features of these tieflings. Some of these also have hair seeming made of fire and flickering light seeming coming from the stomach can, thought both these trait are rarer. Their skin are mostly reds, oranges, and black.
