Tiefling subraces

Abyssal Tieflings aka Lilim
These are the Tieflings spawned from Tanar'i, Obyriths, Shadow Demons, Gehreleths, Hordelings and many more Demons and things from Pandemonium, The Abyss and Carceri. These Tieflings have the essence of chaos within their blood and thus have more varied appearances then the rest of their Tiefling brethen. Their passions tend to be less controlled then their bethren no matter what their morality happens to be, due to the nature of their heritage.

They are children of corruptors, destroyers and scheming overlords, many of these Tieflings go through life completely reliant on themselves as they have very little to trust from others, even those of their own kind. Though in many cases they do band together to survive and find their ways throughout life, each one knows instinctively theirs is their own path to take.

Gloom Tieflings aka Desolate Ones, Gloomlings, Mi-Gons, Lothans, Nilhon
These Tiefling are the spawn of Yugoloths, Gehreleths, Hordelings, Night Hags and many of the terrors, deceivers and corruptors of the Gray Waste, Carceri and Gehenna. Perhaps the most capable of all Tieflings of living amongst outsiders of their kind, these Tieflings are natural manipulators, schemers and deceivers. In many ways they are the most ambitious of the Tieflings, no matter what their morality might be. It's perhaps a curse from their ancestors that they tend to be the least physically powerful of all Tieflings.

Most gloomlings feel and know that someday they can surpass they're fiendish ancestors. To them it's a careful game that must be played out slowly and with subtlety. Among Tieflings they're perhaps the most paranoid of their kind. These Tieflings work well with others, Tieflings and non-Tieflings alike, as they know they can use others towards their own purposes and needs.

Thinking forward to some gaps in abilities, there's going to be obviously something along the line of halfling, gnome and goblin heritage under General Planetouched abilities, and probably a couple other mortal creatures.

For subrace and race special abilities I'm going for some things that fit in thematically, though many abilities are based off of something that a Yugoloth, Obyrith or whatever can do...

Minor abilities are those types of abilities that are between LA +0 and +1
Intermediate are the types between LA +1 and +2
And Major abilities are the types that are worth LA +2

I'm thinking that there should be "Mark of X" abilities, where X is a plane in question.

Some of my consideration into abilties were shaped by things like Fey'ri and Tanarruk (or Celadrin in a recent issue of Dragon), though I haven't studied those ones closely.

And note that I only thought about outer planar planetouched, genasi are a long way down the line...

Immortality is an ability that Elan and Warforged get, and they're both LA +0 races. It's something that in my mind isn't that big of a deal (which is also the reason why I threw on the disease immunity/resistance thing).

Telepathy is pretty wide spread among fiends, even lowly Manes and Lemure have that ability. The MM describes it has non-verbal communication, and states that communicating with several is as difficult as conversing with others. In fact I reduced the range down to 30 feet from 100.

Now some of the abilities that are are possibly a little powerful for their strength category, I've usually tried applying requirements to them. Immortality could be change to have "outsider type" added as a requirement.

The skills & powers article did serve as my inspiration for starting this out, but I can't find where that article is right now...

As for half-fiends/half-celestials, I noted that they're LA were both +4, so theoretically you took a bloodline strength up to that level, your character would be a half-x.

Some more special abilities I can think of:

General Planetouched Abilities
Minor Abilities (LA +0 to +1 type abilities)
Halfling bloodline [mortal]: You gain a +2 racial bonus to climb, jump and move silently checks, a +1 racial bonus to all saves and the halfling subtype. Most planetouched with halfling bloodlines usually have the small-size ability as well.

Intermediate Abilities (LA +1 to +2 type abilities)
Giant bloodline [mortal]: You gain +2 strength, and have the power build trait, where you are considered to be large-sized in regards to checks such as grapples, bull-rush, ect. and are able to wield large-size weaponry, despite the fact you are still medium-size.

15: Horrid Wilting
17: Summon Monster IX (fiends only)
19: Destruction
{This is the shoe-in for the standard half-fiend template, there should probably be some changes and shuffling around of abilities}

Abyssal Tiefling Abilities
Intermediate Abilities (LA +1 to +2 type abilities)
Enervation (sp): (requires - 5th level) Enervation 1/day
Succubi's Embrace: (requires - Succubi Heritage, captivation) Gain Disguise Self at will (Sp), Tongues as a permanently active (Su) ability, and 1/day the ability to drain energy, inflicting 1 negative level with a kiss (or a grapple against the unwilling) the victim may make a fortitude save to remove the the negative level 24 hours later, and must make will save to notice they've been energy drained. The save DC in both cases is 10 + 1/2 character level + charisma modifier.

Infernal Tiefling Abilities
Minor Abilities (LA +0 to +1 type abilities)
Amnizu's Clarity (Ex): You're immune to anything that will reduce your intelligence.

Intermediate Abilities (LA +1 to +2 type abilities)
Abishai Stinger: (requires - prehensile tail) You gain a tail attack which inflicts 1d3 damage plus 1d4 damage of an energy (acid, cold, electricity or fire) type which must be chosen at character creation. You can use this as a secondary attack with your normal attacks.

This ability only effects a creature once in a 24 hour period whether they succeed or fail their save.

My latest thought about the intermediate bloodline strength, is that they get 2 intermediate abilities. Some intermediate abilities should then tweaked around. Such as 1/day uses becoming 3/day, and a number of 1/day spell-like abilities being grouped together....

Anyways as it stands roughly:
Least bloodline (LA +0): 2 minor
Lesser bloodline (LA +1): 5 minor
Intermediate bloodline (LA +2): 5 minor, 2 intermediate
Major bloodline (LA +3): 5 minor, 2 intermediate, 1 major
