Tiefling Variant Spell Casting Abilities


Rules Questions

The Pathfinder Reference Document shows that Tieflings who take the Tiefling Heritage feat can sign up for alternate bloodlines and get spell like abilities that replace the Darkness ability. It says that this comes from Bastards of Erebus, but I have that book and don't see it anywhere. Bastards of Erebus details variant bloodlines for the purposes of generating different stats, but it does not discuss variant spell like abilities except for the random 1-100 table and no where in there does it allow for Detect Thoughts, which the PFSRD shows for a Raksasha blooded variant.

I this it's a great idea, I'm just trying to find it in the rules. Any ideas?

The book, Pathfinder Player's Companion: Blood of Fiends has a great deal of information on alternate blood line tieflings. Also in this book there is no need to take the Tiefling Heritage Feat (which comes from a pathfinder book that was still dealing with 3.5 rules). I highly recommend checking out Blood of Fiends if you want more information on Tieflings (and Blood of Angels for Aasimar, if you are interested in them as well).

The need for that feat is gone.


Wait, really? The need to take Fiendish Heritage to use other tiefling heritages is gone?

Grand Lodge

Yes.

The Aasimar has similar options, that are also available without a feat.
