The Nine Hells of Baator are a popular place, I get it. But tieflings can originate from the Abyss as well. Just because it has 666 levels instead of just 9, it doesn't mean they're not legit Outsiders, you know?
If you've already brought so much variety into the game, why not include demonic heritage? As far as the lore goes, cambions and tieflings originate from demons much more often. Hellish Resistance could apply to both.
What I'm trying to say is...I really like the prospect of tiefling's dual nature, but I really, really dislike baatezu. Devils are too scheming and controlling for my taste, and I prefer the chaotic, passionate nature of their demonic counterparts.
Both are evil, yes, but they wouldn't be at each other's throats for eternity in Blood Wars if they were entirely the same. That's a human thing, after all.
So...a demonic tiefling subrace? Please?
