I am pondering starting a new gm credit baby
something i have wanted to roleplay for awhile.
not real sure if this would fall under skinning or not ?
So i am thinking to make a sorcerer with aberrant bloodline.
take tiefling (Rakshasa blooded)
so the idea is make him looks sorta like a mindflayer
since rakshasa can look like numerous creatures in face..
but roleplay idea is he is slowly becoming a mindflayer.
spell selection will reflect the mindlfayer heritage idea.
levitate,teleport,daze,charms,ect...
if i take the tiefling tail trait- could i say its my tentacles?
or is that to far into skinning territory?
thoughts? suggestions?

I've got a player with a qlippoth-spawn tiefling that describes himself as "Davey Jones from the Pirate movies"
The tail as tentacles I think is too far of a reskin I think...
Other than that, I think it would work.
Another player in my area has a sorc that is flavored so his spells are "psionic-like". Its worked pretty well so I could see you pulling it off.
Kuraishimo is my half-bearded devil sorcerer. He uses his tentacles (via aberrant bloodline) to touch foes far away with his touch spells.)
(He was originally going to be a Hex Magus with the Hair hex attacking with his tentacles, until that got ruled non-functional)
Do note that Mindflayers are intellectual property of WotC and thus don't exist in Golarion.

Would any of your alterations be such that it strains credulity to maintain that your actual race/capabilities are no harder to correctly identify than anyone else's?
well it does say the following about tieflings...
No two tieflings look alike; the fiendish blood running through their veins manifests inconsistently, granting them an array of fiendish traits. One tiefling might appear as a human with small horns, a barbed tail, and oddly colored eyes, while another might manifest a mouth of fangs, tiny wings, and claws, and yet another might possess the perpetual smell of blood, foul incenses, and brimstone. Typically, these qualities hearken back in some way to the manner of fiend that spawned the tiefling's bloodline, but even then the admixture of human and fiendish blood is rarely ruled by sane, mortal laws, and the vast flexibility it produces in tieflings is a thing of wonder, running the gamut from oddly beautiful to utterly terrible.
i don't think - tentacles on face is that far of a stretch.
tail vs tentacle thing is kinds pushing the reskinning rule..
