Ascendant Tiefling, Variant (5e Race Variant)
Ascendant Tiefling[edit]
This subrace of tieflings regained the radiant aspect their demonic ancestors lost. However, they haven't quite shaken off their sinister heritage. Ascendant tieflings usually have shorter horns and tails, and often have white or gold hair. Members of this subrace feel pressured to appear perfect and celestial, and so most ascendant tieflings are strongly religious. Even those who aren't people of the cloth feel a strong sense of obligation to certain deities.
