Tiefling in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Tiefling
To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the tiefling. And to twist the knife, Tieflings know that this is because a pact struck generations ago infused the essence of Talios—godess of greed and deception—into their bloodline. Their Appearance and their Nature are not their fault but the result of an ancient sin, for which they and their children and their children’s children will always be held accountable.

Hellish Resistance
You have Resistance to fire damage.

You know the Thaumaturgy cantrip.
