Abyssal Tieflings

At the DM's option, you can create a tiefling character who has a special link to one of the Princes of the Abyss. This link is represented by a subrace.

Subrace Traits

If your tiefling has a subrace, choose one of the following options – whichever one corresponds to the abyssal being connected to the tiefling's family.

The traits of the chosen subrace replace the tiefling's Ability Score Increase and Infernal Legacy traits given in the Player's Handbook.

Additionally, instead of Infernal, you can read, write, and speak Abyssal.
