What are the rolls for? Aasimar ability table?
Yep. DM said it was good for tieflings and aasimars.
That is true. Which one did you pick? Oh you got current position of the stars as one!!! Tremble good people of the world! :) Thematically for a pirate though probably not bad. +2 con is much nicer though.
Might as well roll as we wait.
LOL! Molly can tell you if you are pregnant.
I got pretty much the ultimate for a wizard: +2 INT. The only ones that really compare on the Tiefling table are 100; 'roll twice more, taking both,' 72; telepathic communication for evil creatures withing 50 feet, 67; the See in Darkness special ability, 41; SR equal to 10+1/2 my level, and maybe 6 and two, which give self-only at-will levitate and all-around vision, respectively.
The DR and stat boosters were nice, but (other than the INT one) were just that.
You did get the best. +2 int would have been great for an alchemist as well. BUT now she can tell you for a 100% fact that Veltisiel is not with child. And can reassure him of that At Will.
:)
Did you roll for alternative physical features? Do tieflings have that one as well?
We do; I didn't roll, though. I just took the Umbral Unmasking drawback for his primary unusual feature- a shadow that's as obedient as Peter Pan's. Other than that, it's just standard Tiefling things like a tail, horns, and strange eyes.
Didn't either. Too worried she would have ended up with glittering skin.
Basically my concern. Tieflings have, by far, very bad options.
A few highlights:
Arms: tentacle-like
Ears: bat-like
Ears: missing
Ears: pig-like
Eyes: cyclopic
Eyes: goatlike
Face: canine muzzle
Face: insectile mandibles
Face: missing nose
Skin: loose
Skin: patterned
Skin: rotting
Skin: scaled
Skin: slimy
...yeah.
I wasn't going to make changes unless I get in, but what the hell. Concerning my rolls I am going to go with +2 Con. The stars stuff actually works against my background story about him being lost and getting a little divine kick in the pants. While a sudden burst of speed is more a fighters thing which he is not. The Con actually makes a little sense as he did manage to survive days without proper food, water, and rest. So going with that.
Looks wise he is a pretty average looking for an elf, maybe that's why he is strange. But his eyes and presence would likely be the biggest markers. Drips hidden agenda's and misdirection. ;D
@Δaedalus
I tend to go more subtle with Tieflings. As long as outlandish isn't the goal that is. Pointed ears, fine scaled skin upon close inspection, canines sharper and longer then normal. Stuff that you don't notice on the first once over.
If you rolled really high you could have both Loose and Rotting skin!
Good choice Omni. Both storywise and being able to stay in the fight longer.
Molly's original (which I admit I forgot you had to roll since hero lab just has them in a big list) was being able to have a halo whenever she wanted, providing light equal to a torch. Ironic for a chaotic evil person I thought. But sense pregnancy... btw Malik is also not pregnant. In case you were curious.

Oh, outlandish is the goal. Just imagine, as the pirates are closing in on your ship, you see a red-skinned figure, with giant horns and a darting tail, wearing red and gold silk robes, flanked by a pair of fiends. I'm not about to waste a Cha of 16, after all. He is going to be intimidating, but still a silky smooth talker.
Oh, he has vestigial wings as well (though they are usually covered by his clothing).

That's what I do as well. Pinkish skin("It's a sunburn. Really."), night-black hair, perhaps a faint whiff of ash or blood, always wearing gloves to conceal his clawed fingers, that sort of thing. Unless I'm trying to play it up.

........So your going as the Chelish poster boy? That's your plan? To be exactly what everyone in all the shackles thinks of when they think of Cheliax, their lovable enemies. Not to mention the wet dream of every paladin and self rightous lubber from here to the Worldwound with a fondness for sharping their holy swords.
Yeah, may want to check the number on your sheet bub. That's a big ole ONE, as in the number of rounds it's going to take before they trip over each other to remove your head.
Take it from a humble pirate. Better to blend in then stand out. Unless you got a whole lot of pull my dear little horns. In which case they never see you coming. That's the trick. ;P
P.S. I know your talking about high level but the set up was too tempting. xD

Chelish? That's racist.
I'm going to be next to a pair of Glazebru.But yeah, kind-of Chelish. It's hard to be a fiend summoner without a few echoes of them. Sort of like it's hard to be a technomancer without some shades of Numeria.
In any case, I doubt we'll be 'blending in' very much if some of the brainstorms come to pass. Ghosts, necromancers reanimating fallen crew, soul harvests.... We will not by typical pirates by any stretch of the imagination.
Besides, my description was a bit... exaggerated. He looks much more like a half-elf if he takes the time to hide his tail, wings, and (small) horns.
But that's all speculation until we find out the GM's decision.
If you rolled really high you could have both Loose and Rotting skin!
If I was super unlucky, I could have Loose, Rotting Patterned skin (a 100 is roll 3 times)! Not entirely sure how that might work...
You're a walking textile factory, basically.
