Hmm... what's the source on that, normally the pfsrd is a lot better at saying what book it's from.

[Grommen]

Tieflings are really -2 to CHA? In 2nd edition I thought they got a positive to that stat. Times change I guess.

Looks like it's not official to me.

[Thurbane]

Looks like it's not official to me.
Yeah, looks a little like a fan made conversion of the Neanderthal from Frostburn.

[grarrrg]

Usually the pfsrd has a giant "PF Core" or "3rd Party" or "Something" sticker-logo near the top of every page.
Missed the converted thing. Off the list it goes.

[Greenish]

Tieflings are really -2 to CHA? In 2nd edition I thought they got a positive to that stat. Times change I guess.The penalty is probably a carryover from 3rd ed, where they also sport it for some reason.

You want to talk about weird race changes?
Gnomes in 2nd got +Int, -Wis
In 3rd they got +Con, -Str
How/Why did that happen?

[CTrees]

A wizard did it. (probably not a gnome wizard)

[Luckmann]

Tieflings are really -2 to CHA? In 2nd edition I thought they got a positive to that stat. Times change I guess.Take note that it is mitigated if they are sorcerers, though.

Many of these races could do with some good alternate racial features.

[Grommen]

That would be the crux of my bafflement. I was converting an old Planescape 2nd edition adventure "Fires of Dis" to the Pathfinder Rules. I could not find Tieflings in PF so I made them up from old 2nd edition information.

Mine are +2 InT and CHA. O well I guess I have some smart and pretty ones in my worlds.

Worse because of the +2 CHA I made some of them sorcs. Again tuff for the players. I'm not changing it.

[grarrrg]

A wizard did it. (probably not a gnome wizard)

Actually, a Sorcerer probably did it.
Gnomes also get +2 Cha in PF you know.
The only stat the little buggers have yet to touch is Dex.
D&D 5th edition anyone?

[AsheItachi]

If my bipedal Eidelon has reached naturally when he goes large if he wielding a great sword does his range increased plus that

Hengeyokai (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/races/3rd-party-races/rite-publishing/hengeyokai) are third party and different enough from the 3.5 version that I don't think it counts as an 'unofficial conversion'. Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
