    I really shouldn't be doing this for a first time playing a system, but I'm building my character for Bucketmans thing with the goal of not having the other players know what my character is. Just a mercenary with the group fighting alongside the others. A flash of light and somebody is on fire through unknown means.

    "Wait, what? Is that even a thing?"
    "Well, how do you figure people we fight keep bursting into flame? And don't say spontaneous combustion, we both agreed that that's totally fake and not real."
    "No, you agreed to that and I got tired of arguing about it."
    "Same diff."
    "No, it's not, but I don't care anymore. Anyway, what about Bob, isn't he a wizard?"
    "Yeah, but his thing is cold spells."
    "Okay, yeah, forgot about that. What the about other guy, whatsisface?"
    "You mean Flamegar von Fyresetter?"
    "Yeah, him."
    "Nah, he's just some merc with a mysterious past and equally mysterious goals. Me, I think it's you."
    "What. Have you seen the size of my sword, lately? When have I ever so much as acted like a wizard?"
    "Well, there was that one time..."

    Flamegar von Fyresetter is clearly up front hitting things with a sword, no way he's a wizard. He keeps thanking a god but it's always a different name when he does so.

    I did that with a changeling cleric, it was fun keeping it all a secret from the other characters.

    In pathfinder there is only one correct option for godly worship. That is Cayden Cailean, her got drunk, took a bet, and became a god somehow. He was to drunk to remember

    Haha woo! Tiefling Inquisitor rules!
    Okay, it's not my greatest work ever, but it's still early and I don't want to utterly break stuff.
    I'm pretty excited to see what everyone else has!

    Plus I really like my character and the versatility and growth potential. Inquisitors are sweet, man.

    Why not, right? They changed a few things compared to 3.5, Tieflings are now direct offspring of various monstrous demons/devils/oni/raksha/etc instead of just having bad blood in the line, but they're pretty damn similar otherwise.

    I remain convinced that making awful decisions is a curse upon the entire d20 OGL and all associated products.

    IIRC Clerics of Cayden Cailean get an ability that they can neutralize poison by turning it into alcohol.

    Myth-Weavers does Pathfinder sheets. If you're playing online that's probably the easiest thing to use.

    the Pathfinder SRD has "Race Points" listed for some of the alternate races these days.

    what the hell are "race points" and how am I supposed to handle that as a DM?

    Ah, wait, I found the "creating new races" page, that helps a lot.

    Definitely letting my players play as constructs if they want to.

    I freaked out when building my character for Bucketman about the whole RP thing, I must have asked five times in my PM if it was okay to do a tiefling.

    Then again, I ended up with Energy Resist 5(acid, electricity, fire,)and DR 2/silver at level 1, so I felt a little ridiculous.

    construct is 20rp which is more for just the race type before any other attributes are applied than any of the current races total up to

    eg it is insanely powerful and there is essentially no way to get that point cost down to a reasonable level

    I liked Tieflings before 4e. The demony thing was less structured, with more divergence on what weird qualities express themselves.

    they got a lot of love in the planescape setting and pathfinder brought that kinda diversity back

    4E Tieflings are still cool, but the 3.5/Pathfinder ones really get the whole demonspawn devil child feel across a lot better.

    I think they's ugly and boring in 4e. Different strokes.

    what happened to tieflings is a pretty tidy metaphor for everything that happened with 4e that I thought was great

    namely vagueness being more rigidly codified and organized



    also more cleavage because cleavage is a defining trait of 4e tieflings

    Well they're definitely ugly. I like the scions of a fallen infernal empire deal, though. It's a neat twist on a concept that admittedly did not need a twist.
