Tiefling
Basic Information
Anatomy
Mostly like their human parentage but with a few cosmettic nods to their infernal blood. Cloven hooves, odd skin tones, and prehensile tails are the most common traits identifying a tiefling.
Biological Traits
In addition to the ability to see in darkness, tieflings also posses the ability to tap into the inherent magic of their fiendish blood to shroud themselves or an area in darkness and shadows. While this functions mechanically as the Darkness spell, and is powered by the divine magic inherent in their blood, it functions in areas where other types of magic normally wouldn't.

And while this is not necessarily true, the biases of a town or community often do tend to influence the paths available to any particular individual; and may tieflings do find themselves on course for an illustrious life as a highwayman or cut-throat. In recent centuries several tiefling based communities have been identified and others began in the interest of countering this bias.
