Not a fan

Tieflings and dragonborn feel like theyre trying too hard to be "omg badass devilperson" as a way to make up for weak roleplaying

They arent necessary.

D&D was perfected in 2e

from all the several Tiefling characters i've played or seen played by other, i don't think a single one has pulled that card so far

I haven't played as one but I think they're fine... I have a player who plays as one and I love his character... Teenage Tiefling War Cleric who flavors all his spells to be purposefully teenage egdy and tryhardy (Like Shield of Faith looking like barbwire) and then the character himself being more of an awkward teen... It makes for a fun balance...

Good choice, as long as your DM allows you to use breath weapon while wildshaped.

I fucking hated THAC0

It was objectively better than having to wade through a library of charts, but thank God they evolved that shit within a gen.

THAC0 is one of those things that makes zero sense in hindsight and feels like it was added to make the game more "complex" but only ended up being confusing.

I can't imagine he wouldn't. But everyone and their mother does Moon Druids, and I had the idea of a Dragonborn doing controlled fires as a method of conservation.

Turns out there's already a circle dedicated to that very idea in 5e

Oh well, no idea is original.

It was a "seemed like a good idea at the time" thing. It's essentially identical to 3E's to-hit roll, just the math is backwards.

D&D's biggest problem, since forever, and still going, is that it can't shake off Gygax's idealism. THAC0 working like that, 1E psionics, and 2E's "rough draft" of a skill system having random modifiers, are probably due to that same idealism. 3E tried to chuck the idealism, but 4E seems to have doubled down in everything but the gameplay mechanics, then 5E was mostly just 3E again.

It's endemic to the player base too. Anyone who freaks out at the very notion of paladins for the other eight alignments, is someone I'm not gaming with for very long.

I'm not a fan of the way they were redesigned to make them all look similar.

2E Tieflings were fun because of all the options. Some looked fairly normal, some had goat legs, some had tails or horns, and some had other weird supernatural effects like making plants wilt by touch. Also, the old Planescape books from 2E were gorgeous because of Tony DiTerlizzi's art.

I currently play a blue Tiefling wizard.
His name is Oberon, he started socially awkward but got better as the game progressed, and i love him.

He also has a parrot familiar called Pickles that can talk, but only in the form of curse words.

There's not a single bone of "badass devil person" in him

My DM talked about how no one plays Tieflings "like Tieflings" and I kinda get where he's coming from. By no means are you playing it wrong, but if I were to play a Tiefling he'd be a little bastard.

d.

I think when i made that character, i play him as a person first and foremost. If anything, probably more into the various Wizard tropes.
Being Tiefling, i treat more as an aesthetic choice.

I never really thought about it much

Yeah they're basically half demons. Generally treated as outcasts.

That's fair. It is your character after all.

I think my next one is going to be a Tieflings artillerist because it sounds like fun.
