Tiefling

Tieflings are a playable race in Baldur's Gate 3. Touched by the Hells, tieflings are resistant to fire and carry extraordinary Infernal powers.

Descended from devils of the Nine Hells, tieflings face constant suspicion in Faerûn. Thankfully, their arcane abilities make them natural survivors.
