Editing Tiefling (section)

====Archdevil Tieflings====
In contrast to the standard system above, an [[archdevil]] tiefling works like this; you take the standard/Infernal tiefling (who also represents an [[Asmodeus]] tiefling in this system) and replace its +1 Intelligence and the Infernal Legacy trait with an ability score increase and a new set of spell-like abilities determined by the archdevil you are blood-tied to. What this ultimately means is that, unlike the poor Abyssal Tiefling, you still maintain your Fire Resistance trait. All of your spell-like abilities adhere to the mold set by Infernal Legacy; a cantrip you can cast at-will, and two 1/day spells gained at levels 3 and 5, all fueled by Charisma.
::'''Baalzebul''': +1 Intelligence, Legacy of Maladomini (Thaumaturgy, Ray of Sickness, Crown of Madness).
::'''Dispater''': +1 Dexterity, Legacy of Dis (Thaumaturgy, Disguise Self, Invisibility).
::'''Fierna''': +1 Wisdom, Legacy of Phlegethos (Friends, Charm Person, Suggestion).
::'''Glasya''': +1 Dexterity, Legacy of Malbolge (Minor Illusion, Disguise Self, Invisibility).
::'''Levistus''': +1 Constitution, Legacy of Stygia (Ray of Frost, Armor of Agathys, Darkness). Why these tieflings don't swap Fire Resistance for Cold Resistance is anybody's guess.
::'''Mammon''': +1 Intelligence, Legacy of Minauros (Mage Hand, Tenser's Floating Disk 1/short rest, Arcane Lock).
::'''Mephistopheles''': +1 Intelligence, Legacy of Cania (Mage Hand, Magic Missile, Web). Again, these tieflings could trade Fire Resistance for Cold Resistance.
::'''Zariel''': +1 Strength, Legacy of Avernus (Thaumaturgy, Searing Smite, Branding Smite).

The Archdevil Tieflings do raise all sorts of questions. As a descendant of one of the Lords of the Nine, you have some important ancestry. Except some of them seem a bit unlikely. Dispater is way too careful to sire children, and Baalzebul has some very high demands of his consorts (but, being an archduke of hell and all, he's bound to meet plenty of people who find said demands [[/d/|downright enjoyable]]). Levistus is currently inside of the planes' biggest ice cube this side of the [[Elemental Planes|Plane of Ice]], and being a descendant of Glasya doesn't automatically make you part of Asmodeus' bloodline, who is her father. Zariel raises another question: despite being imprisoned for untold years by Bel she does have her share of descendants. So either these bloodlines are extremely old... or being clamjammed because of her imprisonment means that the girl had some catching up to do. In any case, it's all kind of silly.  Of course, it's also possible to be born of a Tiefling bloodline because of your descent from a pacted Warlock of an Archdevil, too, so it's not like it's purely a line of descent that can cause this sort of thing.
