1. Vestigal bat-like wings grow from the character's shoulders. They flap instinctively and uselessly whenever she jumps or is falling.

2. The character has two eyes, but also a third pupil that seems to float across the surface of his eyes independent of whatever he's looking at.

3. No nose. The character's face is completely smooth and blank where she should have a nose.

4. Shark-teeth. The character's teeth may look normal. Or they may be triangular shark's teeth. Either way, he always has rows of replacement teeth ready to replace his old ones, sometimes even forcing old ones out if they are not lost in a span of five years.

5. Any tattoos, scars, freckles, or other markings this character has seems to rearrange themselves whenever no one is watching, including herself.

6. The character has a small, snake-like something under the skin of his shoulder which shifts about if touched.

7. Popeye arms. The character's forearms are thicker and far more developed than her biceps. Her hands are larger than the norm as well.

8. The character is always warm to the touch, but not alarmingly so. However, people looking at him note that there's always a heat distortion effect outlining his form.

9. Instead of hair on her head, the character had long, sharp quills.

10. The character's fingertips are wider and flatter than usual, like those of a gecko.

11. The character's skin becomes more pale and her veins become more visible and deeper shades of blue as she becomes excited or upset.

12. The character's singing voice always includes unintended frequencies inaudible to humanoid ears. But dogs in the area always start barking....

13. The character's eyelids are transparent from the outside.

14. The character's body hair is concentrated in the opposite areas of his body from the norm(inside of the arms, stomach and sides more than on the chest, etc.)

15. The character's legs are covered in snake-like scales. If she doesn't keep her legs from having skin-to-skin contact for more than four hours, they begin to "grow together" with a secondary skin forming over them. Cutting away and shedding this skin is troublesome, but harmless.

16. The character's breath always "fogs" as if the air around him was cold.

17. Goat-like ears that hang down and away from her head.

20. Glass-like fingernails.

21. A wide, frog-like mouth and tiny teeth numbering double or triple the normal amount.

22. There is always a one or two second delay between the character's actions and the corresponding response of his shadow or mirror image.

23. No mouth and an absurdly large nose, through which she snorts broth and spirits.

24. An inconstant number of fingers and toes.

If so...

25.Jaw hinged like a snake allowing for the vertical insertion of tacos, hot dogs and other foods normally eaten lengthwise.

26.Instead of hair and ears, a single hairless, tapered, tail-like appendage grows from the character's head. The appendage is sensitive to sound (allowing the character to hear) and whips uncontrollably at any sudden loud noise.

27.An extra pair of small withered, useless arms sprouts from the character's chest. The arms are always folded mantis-style and never move...while the character is awake.

28.The character has a unibrow. That's it.

29.The character's eyes function normally but appear to be empty black sockets. A tiny point of light like a small candle's flame in each socket serves as the pupil of each eye.

30.Blobbish. Though suffering no actual loss of strength, the character has an abundance of flesh that hangs and folds in on itself or flaps obscenely as if there is no muscle tissue beneath the skin.

31.The characters's flesh is distorted by patterns and impressions similar to marks left behind by chains being wrapped tightly around the body.

32.No bellybutton. While in the womb, the child absorbed ejected nutrients from its mother's umbilical cord through it's skin.

33.Regardless of gender, the character's chin and jawline is covered in a thick, tangled beard of hard, wiry hair that grows to a length of 8-12 centimeters. The beard grows back completely within hours if it is ever removed.

34.Oily gray feathers occasionally push through the character's skin only to fall out as soon as they emerge. The fallen feathers reek of decay and rotting meat.

81. Your left eye socket has no eye, but instead houses a little set of discolored and jaundiced looking jaws with sharp teeth. The tiny mouth has an impossibly long black tongue, which constantly flicks out and whips the air. While eating, the tongue reaches out and steals portions of food off your utensils. After a meal, the tongue wipes your regular set of lips clean.

82.Character possesses a subtle cartilaginous exoskeleton that provides no real protection to the body but makes the character appear slightly monstrous and demonic.

83.Character’s teeth slightly protrude from a lipless mouth in an arc shape like that of a clamshell.

84.Character possesses twin sets of sexual organs and becomes visibly aroused whenever targeted by a spell with the evil descriptor or similar effect.

We should probably avoid posting real world sufferers of certain conditions. It opens a big can of worms that could make the thread uncomfortable for a lot of people.

90. The character has permanent markings about his wrists, ankles, and neck, as if he were fully shackled by invisible maanacles and chains.

91. The character bears birthmarks which resemble faces of people of her age. She is also an only child, where her mother had been expecting twins or even triplets...

92. The back of the character's head bears vestigal, half-formed features of a second face, possibly hidden by his hair.

97. Any joint the character doesn't move for longer than five minutes pops quietly.

98. The character's growling stomach sounds more like a growling animal or a crackling fire when he's very hungry.

My apologies, Mikaze. I certainly didn't want to imply that those born with harlequin ichthyosis were tieflings, and I'll stop now before I am compelled to make any more jokes at their expense.

171.Sharp thorns protrude from the tiefling's skin. They are too small to be used offensively and too weak to provide any bonuses to escaping ropes, but make the tiefling uncomfortable to hug.

172.No more tears. The tiefling has no tear ducts resulting in dry, bloodshot eyes and an inability to properly enjoy melodramatic chick flicks.

173.The tiefling's skin has the texture of asphalt and smells like fresh tar.

174.Tripod feet. Beginning at the ankle, each of the tiefling's legs ends in a set of three small, strong, thin, hooved feet facing in different directions.

175.No outward difference in appearance, but the tiefling's heart is too small or black and shriveled. While this results in no loss to circulation, the tiefling has a feeling like something is missing or slightly off in their life.

176.The tiefling's skin is covered in millions of tiny hooks. Though not strong enough to support the character's weight while climbing, the hooks do cause fibrous materials to stick to the character's skin. Velcro FTW!


My most recent Eberron character is a Tiefling duellist named Raphael (no prizes for guessing why I called him that). He has the face of an angel and is otherwise completely human, except that he has tiny ivory horns on his temples (shorter than my avatar's) and exudes brimstone when humanoids would normally sweat.


I played a tielfing-ish character in Greyhawk once that was the result of an angel and a devil mating. There was actually a story from Planescape that featured that same theme, so we went with it as my origin. Essentially, for use of level adjusting, I went with a Celestial Tiefling, +2 lvl adjustment total. Her appearance was a strange mix of feature from both parents, which could be used here:

177.(?)Golden Iris, where normal humans would have blue, green, hazel, etc, with a metallic sheen

178.) Red Feathered wings, took feats to make them usable. The red represented a middle-ground between red leathery bat wings and golden feathered ones.

179.) Cloven Feet, much like a Satyr

180.) Pointed, golden teeth. Shiny and metallic, as not to be confused with simple gingivitis

181.) Golden Arrow-head shaped tail, much like classic depictions of the devil, ut yellow-ish in color instead of red

182.) A semi-translucent, nearly ethereal red halo, when she got upset, angered, or was about to enter combat.

Hope these help!

183. The visage of everyone the tiefling kills appears on his chest and stomach...this can lead to quite a crowd for the typical adventurer.

185. no facial features except for a small slit for eating and speaking, but still has the normal range of hearing and sight.

187. You constanltly have thoughts of murder...no matter what your alignment...ONE EIGHT SEVEN! MDK Murder Death Kill...

188. Teifling has shifting facial features, they move during times of stress, often visibly, it's very disconcerting.

189. Monstrous hands, the Teifling has vicious looking hands, with the index/middle finger fused into a single wide flat finger, with a single heavy nail.

190. One of the Teiflings's arms ends in a enormous hand/forearm. This arm has a Rocky appearance.

191. The Teifling's body is covered in bumps and knobs.

This is just one example, but I've seen a few of these that sound similar to other traits already posted. If we're gonna make it an honest 1,000, let's try to keep track of previous posts ^_^

230.The color of your skin smears onto anything or anyone that touches you like loose, greasy makeup. Every few days, a caking effect of your skin causes portions of it fall off in dry flakes.

231.The tiefling has mandibles and a jaw that closes along a vertical line instead of horizontally.

232.A thin, segmented tendril of flesh occasionally creeps out from your bellybutton and seems to probe the air before returning into your body.

233.Your limbs are nothing more than thick, tough, knotted collections of hair.

234.Alternately, your hair grows incredibly long and wraps your limbs and torso like clinging vines leaving enough space for your face to peer out through the strands.

235.The tiefling has a hard, dome-like bubble of flesh growing from some part of their body that makes a popping noise when it is pressed upon.

236.You have a widow's peak that extends all the way down to the tip of your nose.

237.Regardless of gender, you possess a long Dick Dastardly-style moustache.

250: You have sharp metallic wire instead of hair, and it's particularly heavy on your forearms, shoulders, back, and legs.

golden iris, then that Teifling will get confused with Aasimar..heh

That was the point, her appearance was supposed to be sort of confusing, having both celestial and fiendish traits, and odd overlapping of both. She may have been mistaken for an Aasimar, until they see her hooves and tail lol

251. Any wound you have that would normally bleed instead lets out steam.

252. Your eyes become cat-like at night or whenever you are in the dark(explains your darkvision, and makes you look creepy in the dark, since only your glowing eyes can be seen clearly)

253. You go through drifts(a class feature of the Geomancer PrC, shown in Complete Divine), but gain none of the benefits.

254. Your arms seem to stretch whenever you reach for something. While this does not increase your reach, it is disconcerting for any who witness it happening.

255. Whenever you sleep, your body becomes encased in a cocoon-like structure.

256.You emerged from your mother's womb with a full head of jet-black hair, wearing a black leather jacket and holding a comb. The jacket magically resizes to fit you as you get older, and you never lose your hair or your comb.

257.You have a 40cm-long tapered nose that curves slightly downward. It doesn't get any longer (or shorter,) but it does itch a little whenever you tell the truth.

258.Two or more tail-like growths sprout from your spinal column.

260. Everything about him is protuberant, with a bulging forehead, 'aristocratic' nose, pointed chin, prominent adam's apple and sharp cheekbones, as if every part of his face was trying to leap away from the other, an effect exaggerated by his sunken cheeks. (Much like a hag or troll.)

261. Fingers and toes are long and slender, stretching all the way back to the wrist and heel, with only a thin fold of webbing between the last joints of the fingers serving as 'palm' or pad of the foot.

262. His eyes are solid black and featureless, but sometimes, when someone gets close, something seems to be moving around within them, as if they were black pools of water, and some beast was swimming just out of sight beneath the surface...

263. His teeth are solid black, like his nails (and, indeed, all of his bones), and pointed (if not sharp), as if he had a mouth-full of eye-teeth, and to conceal this, he talks in a whisper quite often, lips barely parted. Despite the appearance of being singular teeth, all are fused together, consisting of two solid plates of black ivory, with many jagged points.
