Beings born this way are often that of traditional creation, born in times of great misery, consumption of dangerous substances during birth, and of course curses. Whatever their reason for existing, tieflings often times are born for misfortunes, as it is easier to blame the creature with horns for your problems than deal with them yourself. Some are driven into despair and hopelessness by the unfairness they are shown, while others flourish in spite of it. ### As a playable race Tieflings are a standard playable race in [Verum](Verum.md). #### Kalkatesh All Tieflings share the following traits: > |<!-- -->|<!-- -->| > |---|---| > |**Ability Scores** |+2 CHA| > |**Size**|Tieflings are about the same size and build as humans.
