    I think the modern day approach is to take an incredibly hot person, and give them whatever demon-y fetish (red/blue skin, tail, horns, etc) you’re into.

    I was baffled what a tiefling might be. Then I remembered I’m a native German speaker.

        “Tiefling” looks like a German word, “tief” meaning “deep”. As a matter of fact, that’s exactly where they got the name from, referring to their “lower planes” heritage. And it’s in German because, well, no idea. Maybe Sigil has a significant German minority?

          German cuz spoken deutsch is the most evil sounding language, duh. Beaten only by latin sung in choir. Or latin / runic writing.

    My my tiefling is just a short human with thin features and slightly greyish skin.

    If beastboy and raven had a kid, basically.

    According to the second edition books, Gambit is a valid tiefling design.
