Baldurs Gate 3: Tiefling Guide - race, advice Baldurs Gate 3 guide, walkthrough

In this chapter of the Baldurs Gate 3 game guide, you will find the description of Tieflings as well as their sub-races. Here we list all the key traits of this race and suggest which character classes work best with Tieflings.

Tiefling is one of the races available in Baldurs Gate 3. Their appearance and nature are the results of ancient sin (a pact with Asmodeus, the ruler of the Nine Hells). Over the centuries, Tieflings have been persecuted so they mistrust other races, became cunning and self-reliant. It is really difficult to gain their trust. Although they come from humans, Tieflings are quite different from them in appearance. Their skin color can take on many shades from black and brown to red and purple, their foreheads are adorned with horns, and they also have amazing eyes and tails.
