Tieflings are generally a chaotic lot, and their appearance is hardly uniform. Their skin tones and the shape of their horns are the most common variables, as well as the presence or lack of a tail.
The attached picture shows a few different types of Tiefling horns, but I've also seen little doe-horns, curling ram-horns, and of course Hellboy's great longhorn-style ones. These might change as the Tiefling grows older, or, being as Tieflings are partly made up of planar energy, they might change during their life to reflect deep changes in their personality or circumstances. They might even want to wear jewellery on them as adornments. If you allow a Tiefling's player to choose a style, a small benefit might be appropriate- nothing that'll break the game, but enough to make them feel a little customized. Ground down: +1 on Persuasion checks Long horns: +1 on Intimidate checks Crown of horns: Once per day, you can use Friends instead of Thaumaturgy as a cantrip Back swept: +1 on Deception checks Forward swept: Gain advantage on a ranged attack roll once per day Ram horns: +1 damage on unarmed attacks Can you think of some other benefits that might work?
