No, but it would be very humanlike.

No, it would be a Tiemar and be used in the frontlines of the struggle against the Rebellion.

I think the child would be mostly human with 1/2 the parents' celestial and fiendish blood.

That kid would be a good candidate for Favored Soul or Sorcerer. Or the universe dividing by zero

A beautiful Ice genasi with low CON.

I'd probably say yes, crunchwise at least, fluffwise they may have some odd traits but nothing major

As it was written in Planescape, the celestial or fiendish blood in both aasimar and tieflings doesn't stop: it can go back several generations. Planetouched are basically at most 1/4 celestial or fiend, but it can be 1/8 or less.

I would think the child of a tiefling and an aasimar would favor one parent or the other depending on how strongly the non-human bloodline runs through the parents' families. If both parents are 1/4 outsider, then I'd say it's a 50/50 chance on which parent the child's genetic makeup favors, or in the case of a PC, I'd probably let the player pick.

...

I just noticed that on each printing the author's names are in different orders. That's professional respect right there.

using Medelian inheritance, the child would have:
1/4 chance of being pure human
1/4 chance of being Tiefling
1/4 chance of being Aasimar
1/4 chance of being half-and-half Celestial/Fiend with no human blood

Not everything is strictly Mendelian though, could just as easily have incomplete dominance, codominance, or some sort of imprinting even

Depends, do you believe man is inherently evil, or inherently good?

Monster Manual says neutral.

Perfect

WELL FUCK
Id say it can't happen then.

Good and evil is subjective

Man is man.

Not in D&D. They're objective cosmic forces with well defined goals and methodology.
And this is clearly about D&D, considering all the D&D terminology being thrown around.

If it's codominance, do they get all the benefits of both lineages?

Sometimes. The thing is is that some aasimar aren't even descended from a good-aligned outsider via heritage; sometimes celestials bless the unborn child of a virtuous couple, transforming them into an aasimar, or take pity on a devout infertile couple and grant them the power to have children, often resulting in aasimar. Rather than genetic (particularly since outsiders are made of quintessence, not a mortal body), one suspects that celestial energy is the deciding element. The same is often true of tieflings and being blessed by dark gods, or being too close to an unholy artifact or being possessed by a demon during pregnancy.

So, overall, I imagine the child is most likely to be mortal, depending on their mortal heritage (human, half-elf, elf, orc, goblin, who knows), there's a chance it could be an aasimar if it inherits enough celestial power, a tiefling if it inherits enough fiendish power, and when the two are mixed...well, my pet theory is that the energies are generally incompatible (note that celestials or fiends who change alignment often become a unique form of outsider), and that such a co-mingling might have the energies cancel each other out, resulting in a normal child, have them interact inimically, resulting in the child spontaneously aborting, or - via a concept I've been playing with - force the developing embryo to split into two, resulting in biologically identical twins, one an aasimar, one a tiefling, who nevertheless develop differently thanks to the celestial and fiendish power residing in both.

probably closer to 1/4 human, 1/4 tiefling, 1/4 aasimar, 1/4 stillbirth.

>Twins
That's a really neat idea, user.
>You will never have a party where 2 members are aasimar and tiefling siblings, constantly bickering but still working together

If an angel and a demon have a child, the nephilim is born.
Assuming tieflings are part demon, and aasimar are part angel, then the result of their offspring is part nephilim.

>If an angel and a demon have a child, the nephilim is born
WRONG! Get the DmC bullshit outta here
Nephilims are the Giant descendants of Angels

>DmC
Akshually, it's a quite common device in fiction, especially in shit like Taiwanese chalk drawings.

How much Hatefuck are we talking about?

Half Tielfing Half aasimar?

As always, the answer lies in the Bible
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephilim

Assuming the base creatures are human yes.

Why can't it be lovefucking instead?

Twins. One Tiefling the other Aasimar.

Man is dickish.

And Man can be nice.
The point is man is man, man has the ability to do whatever it wants (within reason).

>reason
Unless it's a slav

>slav
>human
user, we're talking about man here.

Surely they'd be an Assling?

In Diablo, I believe they were called Nephalim and all player characters were retconned into having been them.

So, to get to the core of this, what is the child of a demon and an angel?

All humans are. Fateless abominations

>So, to get to the core of this, what is the child of a demon and an angel?
Yeah, that's the question. So what's the answer.

Some settings have a TN plane. If we go with the whole 3x3 cosmology, then wouldn't a Angel (assuming LG) and a Demon (assuming CE) produce whatever sort of being represents the TN plane?

Mendelian inheritance is for one gene being expressed, not all of them.

...

We aren't mendelian, confirmed highschooler. We can coexpress, show partial expression, or have entirely different expressions based on the combinations of genes and the specific things we carry. It's not XX + xx= Xx, it's more like XXxX + Xxxx = XxxX, with interaction from AaAA and BBBb.

A cambion? I forget what the 2E Planescape might have to say about it, but I take those boxes and sourcebooks as canon regarding anything outer planes, over anything that might have been said later.
