Demons, devils, and my confusion

[ddude987]

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on some homebrew and I decided to revamp the heritage feats that pertain to sorcerers. I want to give sorcerers bonus feats, level 1 a heritage feat that pertains to their original source of power and then 5, 10, 15, and 20 a metamagic or heritage feat. Similar basis to wizards who get metamgic or crafting feats. At the moment, there is draconic heritage, celestial sorcerer heritage, and infernal sorcerer heritage. I am adding fey heritage to the list of heritages that will require sorcerer level 1 and will be a possible place the sorcerer obtained his/her powers from.

I saw fiendish heritages as well and thought they could pertain to sorcerers getting their power but I can't seem to find the difference between fiend and infernal. Are they the same? Is one demons and one devils? I am speaking from a flavor standpoint, not mechanically. If anybody could shed light onto this conundrum that would be helpful.

"Infernal" refers strictly to the Lawful Evil Devils in Hell.

"Fiendish" can refer to any Evil Outsider.

The Fiendish Heritage feat chain doesn't even refer to any specific Outsider; it just says that there is some sort of "fiendish ancestor," is all. :smalltongue:

I am adding fey heritage to the list of heritages that will require sorcerer level 1 and will be a possible place the sorcerer obtained his/her powers from. You are aware that there's a set of fey heritage feats in complete mage, right?

There are also elemental heritages in Planar Handbook and expanded Draconic Heritages in Dragon Magic.
