This mod adds a total of 13 additional Tiefling subraces to the game & makes minor adjustments to vanilla BG3 Tiefling subraces to keep them in line with features added by this mod, mostly for flavor.

D&D 5e subraces have been adjusted for flavor, to increase variety between subraces & based on differences between 5e and BG3.

-⋆-

Included Subraces

All subraces feature vanilla Tiefling racial traits until otherwise stated
- Base Racial Speed of 9m/30ft
- Darkvision 12m/40ft
- Hellish Resistance

NEW FEATURE: TAG SELECTOR

For certain subraces, you may now select your own tags while creating your character, while many of the 5e subraces will continue to have static tags
assigned to them (although this may change if there is demand). For more details, please check out this article.

For more detailed information on Tiefling Claw abilities, see list below subraces and/or screenshots.

Spells learned as a subrace feature at 3rd and 5th level are cast as if using a 2nd level spell slot, unless otherwise indicated. Usable once per long rest without using a spell slot. Spellcasting Modifier for these spells is Charisma, if applicable.

Your ancestors didn’t strike a pact with an Archdevil, but a Night Hag - and now you’re the one paying the price for it. A Tiefling, quite unlike those of classic Infernal heritage, but similarly accursed nonetheless.

Level 1 - Fey Ancestry, Smoldering Claws & Dancing Lights Cantrip
Level 3 - Burning Hands
Level 5 - Misty Step


The 3 subraces below are slightly more powerful than the remaining subraces included in this compendium due to the extraordinary circumstances through which they became Tieflings.
For more detailed descriptions of their custom passives, abilities and spells, please check out this article.




Elamshinae
Becoming Elamshinae is perceived as an immense honor - One bestowed, as a sacred gift, only upon the most valued worshippers of Lolth, the Spider Queen. Their once Elven forms twisted, and their selves and personalities eternally changed by the malignant demonic essence of the Abyss, the process is akin to being born anew - One small step closer to Her own image.
Tags: Tiefling, Elamshinae + own selection
This subrace does not have the vanilla Tiefling passives Hellish Resistance & Darkvision
Passive Abilities: Lolthsworn Weapontraining, Arachnid Ancestry, Superior Darkvision, Spider Queen’s Influence
Feature: Arachnomorphosis
Level 1 - Dragging Web, Envenoming Claws
Level 3 - Summon Cluster of Spiders
Level 5 - Web



Velkyn’bol
The Ancient One heeds no mistress, and His whims are ever unpredictable; yet it is known that seldomly, He revels in witnessing the Spider Queen lose her grasp on a subject. There are whispers of defiant Drow twisted by a peculiar concoction of demonic energy of the Abyss and the influence of the Far Realm - a warning, or a promise of salvation?
Tags: Tiefling, Velkyn'bol + own selection
This subrace does not have the vanilla Tiefling passives Hellish Resistance & Darkvision
Passive Abilities: Drowborn Skillset, Touch of the Far Realm, Superior Darkvision, Ghaunadaur’s Reward
Feature: Amorphous Anatomy
Level 1 - Mind Sliver, Phantasmal Claws
Level 3 - Whispering Ward
Level 5 - Aberrant Rot



Isilmnir’el
The day Lolth struck down her own daughter left those who followed in Her ways feeling as if an ardent stake had been driven straight through their hearts - Transformed by the abyssal aftermath of Her fall, and the remaining splinters of Her essence. Forced into hiding by the lolthsworn, they now emerge from the shadows, drawn to rumors of Eilistraee’s return - seeking refuge, and perhaps a chance to unravel the mysteries of their demonic forms, which some now embrace as a sacred gift from their fallen goddess.
Tags: Tiefling, Isilmnir'el + own selection
This subrace does not have the vanilla Tiefling passives Hellish Resistance & Darkvision
Passive Abilities: Melody of the Blade, Dark Maiden’s Blessing, Superior Darkvision, Disciple of the Moon

Level 1 - Lunar Missile (effects vary by phase)
Level 3 - Guarding Moonmotes / Gravitational Pull / Moonfire Blade / Luminescent Multiplicity
Level 5 - Lunar Beacon (effects vary by phase)

New “Tiefling Claws” Baseline Abilities

Might as well put those claws BG3 Tieflings were blessed with to good use, right?

Mostly for flavor, the Tiefling Claws abilites included in this Mod pack add inherent claw-based melee attacks to all Tiefling subraces.
These abilities scale similarly to cantrips to avoid them becoming entirely useless and likely unwise to waste your action on later on in the game, but they are still primarily intended to just add a little bit of extra spice to Tieflings.
The damage values included in the V1 release of this mod are subject to change - if they prove too strong/weak with their current scaling they’ll be adjusted accordingly in a future update.

At level one, all Tiefling Claw ability deal 1d6 slashing damage + 2 damage of varying types:

Infernal: Fire | Corrupting: Necrotic | Phantasmal: Psychic
Frigid: Cold | Forceful: Force | Corrosive: Acid
Voltaic: Lightning | Feral: Bleed (1 round)
Envenoming: Poison (1 round) | Lucent: Radiant | Roaring: Thunder

The current damage scaling of Tiefling Claw abilities is
(min dmg-max dmg)

Level 1-3: 1d6 + 2 (3-8) | Level 4-5: 1d8 + 3 (4-11)
Level 6-7: 2d6 + 4 (6-16) | Level 8-9: 2d6 + 5 (7-17)
Level 10-12: 3d6 + 6 (9-24)

Which type of claw ability each subrace has access to is primarily based on lore.
Variant Tieflings and Winged Tieflings have access to all claw types to fit the idea of these Tieflings descending from a wide variety of creatures.

Requirements

I recommend using Improved UI alongside this Mod.
Without ImprovedUI, parts of this mod will not function correctly.

-⋆-

Compatible with Unique Tav! (With the exception of Winged Tieflings)

This mod should function normally alongside mods that add CC options, such as colors, tattoos, heads & hair styles.
These Tiefling subraces have access to any modded CC options that are intended for or function for vanilla Tiefling subraces.
But I have not tested every mod like this out there - if you stumble across any compability issues, please let me know and I’ll see what can be done.

This mod will likely not function as intended when used alongside other mods that modify progression, such as other subrace, class, or subclass mods. You can try, of course, but I can’t guarantee compatibility.
