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.

Bugs[edit | edit source]

↑ The tooltip of Produce Flame is misleading; the attack roll uses the character's Wisdom stat instead of Charisma. The tooltip for the associated attack correctly reports this.
