Parent Race: Tiefling
Molded by the effects of an ancient, and long-forgotten pact with a powerful fey, feytouched tieflings have features that less demonic, but no less alien.
Feytouched Bloodline
Feytouched are derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, the Feywild's influence has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Feytouched often have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes, typically resembling those of some woodland creature, such as a deer or elk. Their feet often take the form of cloven hooves, and they sometimes have tails, though they are more akin to a deer or squirrel than the more typical tiefling's. Their eyes are solid colors—black, red, white, silver, gold, or even more exotic colors—often with no visible sclera or pupil. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include virtually any color. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually bright, from white or blond to vibrant pinks, greens and purples.
Self-Reliant and Outcast
An oddity, even among tieflings, feytouched are rare enough that communities of their sort are virtually unknown. They typically subsist in the wilderness, or on the fringes of human cities or towns, often in the roughest quarters of those places, where they grow up to be swindlers, thieves, or crime lords. Sometimes they live among other minority populations in enclaves where they are treated with more respect.
Lacking a homeland, feytouched know that they have to make their own way in the world and that they have to be strong to survive. They are not quick to trust anyone who claims to be a friend, but when a feytouched’s companions demonstrate that they trust him or her, the feytouched learns to extend the same trust to them. And once a Feytouched gives someone loyalty, the feytouched is a firm friend or ally for life. Once betrayed, the feytouched will forever count that person as an enemy.
Feytouched Names
Feytouched names fall into four broad categories. Feytouched born into another culture typically have names reflective of that culture. Some select names derived from Elven or Eladren. Some have names derived from the Sylvan language, or even the name of some notable fey, reflecting their heritage. And some younger feytouched, 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. For some, the chosen name is a noble quest. For others, it’s a grim destiny.

This is an awesome alternative for the classic Fiend warlock tiefling, this makes a really cool Archfey warlock.
This seems a little underpowered compared to standard tiefling. Fey Legacy is a fair trade with Infernal Legacy, and Fey Ancestry is kinda comparable to Hellish Resistance, but it's missing Darkvision.
Foobar, this is built like the other alternate Tieflings. It inherits the traits of the base Tiefling, and only lists the replaced/altered traits. Darkvision is unaltered, so it doesn’t show in the description, but it is still there.
As a ‘flavor’ expansion of the Tiefling race, to help give a ‘pact-influcenced’ form for each pact-making otherworldly entity, I just swapped in some more appropriate traits which matched the flavor.
It doesn't show on the character builder as they only showed the specific traits to this subrace. They do still get darkvision from the parent race
Just a note to the creator of this race.
Your Fey legacy trait doesn't seem to give Charm Person to the character. Druidcraft and Pass Without A Trace all appear on the sheet, but Charm person doesn't
Other than that I love this, and was perfect for the character concept i was building. I always like to see alternatives to the Tiefling, having a parent race different to that of the typical Devil
Cool
I reworked this sub-race to get it working with the Character sheet better: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/subraces/69257-feytouched-feyling
This race is cool and I love the aesthetic
Only issue I have encountered is the Charm Person isn't appearing in my spell list
I think I've fixed the issue where the later level spells weren't showing up in version 1.5.
