Tiefling

Tieflings have taken some of the changes from the 2024 edition. They now only have three different subspecies(origins):

Abyssal (Demon) - Rough looking. Commonly has horns and fur, sometimes tusks. Dark scent, like coffee or cocoa. Commonly red-orange.
Chthonic (Daemon/Yugoloth) - Gaunt looking. Commonly has spiral horns and animal-like features, not always tails. Smells of strong flowers. Commonly green-blue.
Infernal (Devil) - Spiky looking. Commonly has horns and thorns, always a tail with an arrow-head end. Smells of sulfur. Commonly purple.

Player's Handbook + 2024 Edition

Tiefling

ability score increase: When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20.

age: Tieflings mature at the same rate as humans but live a few years longer.

alignment: Tieflings might not have an innate tendency toward evil, but many of them end up there. Evil or not, an independent nature inclines many tieflings toward a chaotic alignment.

Size: Medium

speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Languages: Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The *Player’s Handbook* offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

race features:

Darkvision. Thanks to your infernal heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern colour in darkness, only shades of gray.
Fiendish Legacy You are the recipient of a legacy that grants you supernatural abilities. Choose a legacy from the Fiendish Legacies table. You gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen legacy. When you reach character levels 3 and 5, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the legacy).

Legacy	Level 1	Level 3	Level 5
Abyssal	You have Resistance to Poison damage. You also know the Poison Spray cantrip.	Ray of Sickness	Hold Person
Chthonic	You have Resistance to Necrotic damage. You also know the Chill Touch cantrip.	False Life	Ray of Enfeeblement
Infernal	You have Resistance to Fire damage. You also know the Fire Bolt cantrip.	Hellish Rebuke	Darkness
