I saw somebody mention a Tiefling power called "Fiendish Sphincter" as an alternative racial trait that makes a character run faster. Can't find it on google though and the best hits aren't even pathfinder... just PDFs for the fiendish codex for D&D. So is this 3.5 or 4th edition or is somebody mistaken somewhere?
Thank you sir.

"Fiendish Sphincter" is what happens after a great curry!
Either way, you will be running faster.

@Mazlith: Is Fiendish Sphincter a Tiefling alternative racial trait as well? As Greg asserts -- if they both increase speed, do they stack?
Bloodblack... is Mazlith winding me up?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...
Just... wait. Hold up. I just re-read the first post:

Sooo... Vicon.
My buddy. My friend.
What, um... what were the "best" hits on Google, when you searched for "fiendish sphincter?"

Oh dear god....I need eye bleach stat....I had to know and googled it...It's like Slender Man just had his way with my eyeballs. I never want to sleep and wish I could unsee what I just saw.
Vicon, you are a sick, sick individual for thinking those are the "best hits".
@abeloec/Abandoned Arts
Apparently some people aren't aware that google searches are tailored on the basis of previous searches. The top hits I'm getting relate to D&D's "Hordes of the Abyss I & II" ... they are links to PDFs. I don't know what results YOU'RE getting -- but I can't use stuff from 3.5 or 4e in my games. I'm not sick, and I DON'T try to sneak non-legal stuff into my games. Or what are your searches showing you? Am I missing something?
@Jiggy: It's a kind of portal, correct?
sphincter /sphinc·ter/ (sfingk´ter) [L.] a ringlike muscle which closes a natural orifice or passage. Synonyms: "Constrictor" (Source: Google)
I really don't know very much about Tieflings and don't have any examples of sphincters in any of their art (that I can tell) ... But if it's not strange that they have horns I guess it's not strange they can have demonic portals on their bodies that they can use for propulsion. Mazlith, can you provide a link to Fiendish Sphincter as it appears in Exhalted deeds?
If I'm going to use a character with fiendish sprinter AND sphincter it'll need to be ready before this weekend. My game group doesn't smile on people holding things up tweaking builds or screwing around with minute parts on their character when everyone else is chomping at the bit to play.
Edit: I'm really starting to sweat, guys... why is nobody giving me a straight answer?

Vicon, I'm assuming that you are either young or not a native english speaker. Everyone has sphincter muscles. The most well known is the anal sphincter, or anus. (Others include the ocular sphincters in the iris, etc) So, searching for Fiendish Sphincter will generate images of, well, a$$holes. Mostly inflamed or otherwise aberrant.
Yes, Mazlith is winding you up.
BlackBloodTroll's first response was right on the money. Otherwise there is no such thing as Fiendish Sphincter, but as I said earlier I may have to make that into a custom witch hex... heh.
Hope this helps,

"The ancient Greek anatomist Galen (129-216 AD) recognised the significance of a sphincteric section of the alimentary tube in sealing the lower end of the stomach. He named this sphincter the “Pylorus” meaning “Gatekeeper”, because it retains food in the stomach for the initial chemical processes of digestion to be completed. It then allows boluses through into the intestine (duodenum) (Figure 1)."
Apparently we all have one, but like claws and tails and stuff, Tiefling sphincters are more demonic? While vague, I've come to the conclusion that this is some vague/spurious explanation for demonic metabolism (via portals/gates) making them faster.
Now if I could just get a cite on the mechanical effects of having demonic sphincters and whether it is an alternate racial trait or whatever, I'll be set. I'm trying to make a Tiefling that is totally hellish and absolutely faster than anything!
I cant imagine the horror's that resided upon that google search page.

I really thank you for drawing spectacles to a close, Mordreth. I guess it doesn't help that I am on a network with certain content filters as well, or I could have come to my own conclusions.
Given time, I too will find this highly amusing. (shake head)

Oh thank god; he's just trolling!
Well done, Vicon. Seriously well done.

Edit: Seriously, Pol... and MAYBE blackblood are the only standup guys that would let a sorry fellow off the hook. (tsk!)
Very well done. Hook, line and sinker...
heh
I still say that's a great Major Hex.

I think this is the unintentionally funniest thread I've seen in a long time.
