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 - by blood or curse - tieflings face constant suspicion in Faerûn. Their arcane abilities make them natural survivors, whether as heroes or villains.
