Tief lings are humans with demonic, devilish, or other
evil outsider blood in their ancestry. Often persecuted
for their strange appearance and unnatural
mannerisms, most tief lings disguise their nature
or are forced to live on the fringes or underbelly of
civilized society. Though they are not born evil,
it is an easy path for them to find, especially
as most suffer at the hands of “normal” folks
while growing up. Tief lings look mostly
human except for some physical traits
that reveal their strange heritage.
They have the following racial traits.
+2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, –2 Charisma: Tief lings
are quick in body and mind, but are inherently strange.
