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. 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Snake Eyes - The character's pupils are vertically slitted.
- 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.
