Tieflings are NOT demons! There is no reason for a paladin to

Fixing her hair must be hard with horns in the way.

>Literally demon blooded
>Demons in D&D are factually embodiments of evil
>Heirs to a demon have evil blood in them.
Makes sense. If it looks like shit, smells like shit, but speaks like a frog it's probably still shit.

>>48569719
Is it another monster girl thread, OP?

Saying that Tieflings aren't demons is like saying that halflings aren't short.

>>48569719
Fun fact, I once played a tiefling paladin who was secretly reflectively racist against himself and any tieflings that weren't part of his family.

Everything a paladin (of good for faggoty new editions) does is justified by him being a paladin.

>>48569849
Not particularly

>>48569879
>paladins "of good" characteristic of "faggoty new editions"
>the only edition where paladins can act with impunity without risking ceasing to be a paladin is 4e

Prejudice is just kind of a thing that happens, especially in worlds with many races and medieval style lives. Tieflings might not be actual demons, but people with prejudice will always make that connection.
A lawful good paladin should see by works, not blood, but even then if they were raised to believe one way, it will be difficult to escape that.

I actually had this kind of predicament as a witch hunter party ran into these chicks who were super connected with a nature goddess and made potions to heal people. Now I was gonna let this go unnoticed until we found out the girls performed animal blood sacrifices to their goddess this entire thing was a big no no. Yet I still didnt want to kill them so I just placed them under arrest but for some fucking reason the GM wanted me to kill these girls and had one them summon nature golems to attack us.


I then had the other girls burned for if they could summon powerful magic like that a normal jail couldnt hold them and this had started a huge argument in the party

>>48569719
Indeed. They're /part/ demon. Or part devil.

I guess sometimes part daemon or rakshasa or something, those cases don't seem to come up much.

>Tieflings are NOT demons!

Correct?

Tiefling originally meant anything plane touched that was not Good or elemental

This ment:
Demons
Devils
Hags
Rakhashas
Yugoloths
Hordlings
Well anything evil yes.
Modrons?
Law creatures at least
Chaos creatures.
Including Slaadi

>>48573826
The church don't care if I kill a demon looking motherfucker. Heck, Tieflings are often killed by the midwife in some settings.

It's probably pretty terrible but I'm playing my own tiefling like a terrorist BLM person, and has framed two Paladins for vivisecting another tiefling as well as instigated attacks on paladins too.

Don't smite the tiefling. Headpat instead.

But that's not a tiefling. I mean, you should still pat her head, but it's not a tiefling.

What if the tiefling is a paladin ?

OP, just fucking kill yourself already. If you can't handle a little fantasy racism in your fantasy game, you are unworthy of the gift of life.

>>48569719
Technically your right, they are at most Quarter demons, average is 1/32nd or so. They are at least one generation removed from their demonic ancestor, most are even more than that. So by this point they might have a few inclinations toward evil, but they are more human than infernal.

Why are paladins so intentionally, absolutely ignorant of the enemies they dedicate their lives to fighting?

Halflings are only short comparatively. To other halfling, gnomes, and Dwarves they aren't.

>>48583220
this is a blue board you sick fuck

>>48584340

I thought were were all past this by now. There have been multiple studies that prove demon blood does not cause autism. Also, there are no studies that prove any link between demon blood and autism.

>>48580883
Can't he apply some sort of permanent sterility curse and then just adopt? D&D settings are almost never short on orphans, and they usually don't have adoption agencies that do rigorous screening and would reject him because demon blood.

You're right. Clearly just Chaotic Stupid.

>>48590747
Because they are fanatics and fanatics are not know to be reasonable.

>>48590747
Because too many people who play them are doing it wrong. They are acting like Inquisitors not paladins. It's rather annoying.

Paladins defend the people, all the people even the people they don't like because they are people and that's what their job is. They are the shield and the sword that stands up to Devils, Undead, and even Tyrants from beyond time (looking at you Mind Flayers). They must be a bastion of good so that others can want to change, and be better, do better, reach for better. They must be better than someone who would kill a person just for being born with sketchy blood, because that being is still a person, more human than devil and able to chose and forge their own destiny.

Did it for way of the wicked in pathfinder. True, he was an antipaladin rakshasa. True, we may have done more bad than good in the long run. But hell if he didn't look like a hero doing it throughout the whole campaign.

I sort of love the villain that 100% believes what they are doing is right. Like Funny Valentine from part 7 of JoJo, fighting for America and no other reason, earning a 91% approval rating from voters even AFTER the atrocities he committed in his wake.

One of the first rulings I've made to a group of new players when we picked up 5e was "tieflings are not just demon-like, but more like 2e weird whateverthefuck mutants".
