The SendingStone review

The Tiefling race in the Dungeons & Dragons game has some interesting traits that make them unique. Tieflings are of medium size and have a base speed of 30 feet. One of their racial traits is an ability score increase of 1 to intelligence and charisma.

Tieflings also have the "Hellish Resistance" trait, which grants them resistance to fire damage. This can come in handy in battles or situations where fire is involved. Additionally, they have the "Infernal Legacy" trait, which allows them to know the "Thaumaturgy" cantrip. This cantrip allows Tieflings to create minor magical effects, such as causing flames to flicker or causing small tremors.

Another interesting racial trait of Tieflings is their "Darkvision" ability. They can see in dim light within 60 feet of themselves as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. This can be advantageous when exploring dungeons or navigating in low light areas.

The Tiefling race has a rich lore and backstory in the game, as they are descended from infernal beings. This demonic heritage gives them a unique appearance, often featuring horns, pointed tails, and unusual skin tones. This can make them stand out among other races and elicit a mix of fear and curiosity from others.

Overall, the Tiefling is a versatile and intriguing race in the Dungeons & Dragons game. Their combination of abilities, resistances, and unique appearance make them a popular choice among players who enjoy role-playing characters with a dark and mysterious background.
