Homebrew Feytouched Tiefling Species Details

To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the tiefling. But the fey touched tiefling, while beautiful and frighting, have a unique mix of heritage. Their ancestry can commonly be traced back to to the bloodline of Asmodeus, overlord of the Nine Hells, and the Seelie/Unseelie, various fey creatures. The mix is a haunting result of a correlation between devil and fey, their appearance and their nature are not their fault but due to their notable features.These tieflings cannot hide the fey blood pulsing through their veins. A life of constant stares and whispers, these fey touched are often not trusted more so than their more common brethren and first must prove their loyalty before they can truly be called an ally.

Infernal and Fey Bloodline

Tieflings are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their mixed infernal and fey heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Because of your Fey heritage, your physical attributes might differ from that of other tieflings. You may choose to have 1d4+1 of the following features: instead of horns you have antlers sprouting from your head; green, bluish-white or white skin; you have patches of tree bark grown over parts of your body; goat like legs; cloven hooves; fangs or sharp teeth; long, pointed ears; small, slender build.

 

Fey Touched Tiefling Names

Fey Touched Tiefling names fall into three broad categories. Tieflings born into another culture typically have names reflective of that culture. Some have names derived from the Infernal language, passed down through generations, that reflect their fiendish heritage. And some younger tieflings, striving to find a place in the world, adopt a name that signifies a virtue or other concept and then try to embody that concept. Tieflings named after their fey heritage may have a name relating to a plant or another form of nature.

 

MUTUAL MISTRUST

People tend to be suspicious of both tieflings and fey, so fey touched tieflings have an even more difficult time getting other to trust them. Their neighbors may be wary of charms or deceit, and many fey touched tieflings may embrace these elements of their heritage.
