=== New Flaws ===
* ''Acute Allergy to Holy Water'' - Acute allergic reaction to water that has been blessed.
* ''Clawed Hands and Feet'' - The characters limbs end in clawed hands and feet that make wearing normal rings, gloves, shoes, etc, difficult to impossible, or require costly modification at the least. They cannot be used in combat without training.
* ''Cloven Hooves for Feet'' - The character has cloven hooves instead of feet. They cannot wear normal shoes or boots.
* ''Fiendish Ears'' - The character has ears that come to points. They look completely different from Elven ears and anyone who has met any Elves can tell the difference!
* ''Hellish Body Odor'' - As Strange Body Odor from PHB, but varies in intensity and type. The Tiefling with this flaw always has at least a faint scent about them, which can intensify if they are nervous or exerting themselves. For any except "Woodsmoke", the character loses 1 point of Charisma. When active or nervous, the odor is quite noticeable and can potentially give away the character's location or status as a Tiefling (if they were trying to hide it or it is not obvious due to other characteristics).
* ''Demonic Eye Color'' - The character has a discomforting non-human eye color.
* ''Excessive Body Heat'' - The character produces an excessive amount of heat that is noticeable from a short distance. The character must take care with their clothing selection to avoid overheating.
* ''Forked Tongue'' - The character has a forked tongue that is impossible to hide while speaking.
* ''Non-Prehensile Tail'' - The character has a tail, which they can swing back and forth. It cannot be used to pick anything up or attack. You may need to have any pants you acquire tailored.
* ''Scaly or Leathery Skin'' - The character's skin is noticeably calloused, thick, or scaly. No combat benefit is bestowed upon the character.
* ''Small Claws Instead of Nails'' - The character's fingers and toes end in small claws instead of flat nails. The claws are useless in combat.
* ''Unusual Hair Color'' - Character's hair color is noticeably non-human. Roll on the table to determine color.
* ''Unusual Skin Color'' - Character's skin color is noticeably non-human. Roll on the table to determine color.
* ''Vestigial Wings'' - Batlike wings sprout from the character's back. They cannot be used for flight or gliding. Armor may require costly modification.* ''Visible Horns'' - Demonic or animal horns grow from the character's skull. Interferes with standard headgear, helmets and hats may require costly modification at the least.
* ''Visibly Sharp Teeth'' - The character has visibly sharp, nonhuman teeth.
