Assimer Tiefling Kobold

[Derek Dalton]

This may be in the wrong place for that I apologize. I have read here on several occassions of Assimer and or Tiefling mixed races. Usually of Halfling or Gnome combinations. If I remember correctly you look like your base race but have the stats and abilities of an Assimer or Tiefling. Am I correct? This idea of a Kobold Assimer or more appropriatly Tiefling. I like the kobold race. Kinda remind me of my chihuahuas minus the scales.

You might be looking for the Pathfinder 2E rules forums. The Aasimar and the Tieflings in PF1e are more of their own race, rather than a template on other race.

According to Blood of Fiends the rules about kobold tieflings are straight-forward: They are of Small size, but have the usual tiefling traits otherwise.

Blood of Fiends, page 4 wrote:

Nonhuman tieflings

The creatures of the depths of the Outer Planes do not limit their foul miscegenation to humanity. Elves, dwarves, halflings, and gnomes all have tales of tieflings in their histories (...). Ogres, orcs, half-orcs, goblins, and other creatures that call upon the powers of the evil Outer Planes are equally likely to see tieflings living among them (...). In game terms, the difference between non-human tieflings and human tieflings is purely a matter of size. Unless they have specific tiefling-related size modifiers, the tieflings of each of these races are the same size as their non-fiendish ancestors. They gain any of the bonuses or penalties related to that size, but gain no racial bonuses except those of the tiefling; beyond size, their humanoid ancestry is purely cosmetic.

There's a similar sidebar for Aasimar

Quote:

Non-human aasimars have the same statistics as human aasimars with the exception of size. Thus a halfling aasimar is Small but otherwise possesses the same statistics and abilities as a human aasimar—the difference is purely cosmetic. Non-human aasimars do not possess any of the racial abilities of their base race. However, they are usually raised in the same cultural context as other members of their base race, and thus generally adopt the same fighting style as their peers, use the same types of weapons and armor, and study the same skills.

You can have non-human based aasimars and tieflings.

[Ohnomytoast!]

As others have mentioned, you can use the sidebar rules to be a small Aasimar/Tiefling.

Note that you wont count as a kobold for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites or favored class bonuses.

A lenient DM may let you take the mostly human/pass for human alternate racial trait, then take the "racial heritage: kobold" feat to count as a kobold for all effects, but that would imply that you look nothing like a kobold: Instead looking like a "small human" and you'd have to explain your unusually small size as being due to some form of dwarfism. (I would say as being a child, but there are separate rules for that.)

A DM "tweaking" the rules for you may allow the mostly human/pass for human alternate racial traits to instead be "mostly kobold"/"pass for kobold". While many DMs may be happy to do this, it is still houseruling/homebrewing.

Also, just because its making my eye twitch; its Aa-si-mar, not Ass-imer.

Scion of Humanity
Source Advanced Race Guide pg. 85
Some aasimars’ heavenly ancestry is extremely distant. An aasimar with this racial trait counts as an outsider (native) and a humanoid (human) for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites and spells that affect humanoids. She can pass for human without using the Disguise skill. This racial trait replaces the Celestial language and alters the native subtype

Then take the racial Heritage feat?

Plus, technically it does not specifically say you can't take the feat multiple times...

On that note, does Racial Heritage give you Weapon Familiarity?

"...for the purpose of taking traits, feats, how spells and magic items affect you, and so on."

That is the Aasimar's version of pass for human so by RAW you'd look like a human as someone already pointed out. Which is fine if all you care about is meeting prerequisites.

You cant take a feat multiple times unless an ability specifically says you can.

No. You dont get any racial abilities.

If your character is mythic you may choose the mythic racial heritage feat when gaining a mythic tier if you want to gain a racial trait.

Playing a kobold in a kobold themed campaign. They get no love stat wise. Their feats are not bad but overall Goblins get all the love over them.

But what would be the point of taking Racial Heritage twice anyway?

You want to count as a kobold, and you can accomplish this as an aasimar by taking the Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait and the Racial Heritage (Kobold) feat. The table of appearance quirks for an aasimar includes a tail, so you could later take the Tail Terror feat if you wanted to. What does that leave unaccomplished?
