Homebrew Abyssal Gniefling Species Details
Born from a not-so-common pairing of a gnome and tiefling, the Gniefling shares traits indicative of both it's lineages. Due to their height and devilish appearance, Gnieflings are often mistaken for Imps and therefore not very well received by common folk, similar to their tiefling parentage. Though often feared, or at least misunderstood, a Gniefling's natural intellect and Charisma are rather impressive due to their lineage and because of this they make nearly unrivaled artisans in the art of casting any number of spells. Gnieflings are most commonly found taking on the roles of Warlocks or Wizards, using their Intellect to its fullest potential. It is however not uncommon to see such a creature take on the role of a Bard or Paladin either, though their infernal heritage often makes this difficult as the common rabble want almost nothing to do with the impish creatures.
