Finite Energy Magic is unlimited, but your ability to channel it is. Spellcasters can initially cast a number of cantrips equal to their proficiency bonus plus their key ability modifier. Cantrip slots are restored after a short or long rest. At each even-numbered level, characters gain an additional cantrip slot in addition to any increases which come from an increased proficiency bonus and/or key ability modifier. For example, a level 10 wizard with an Intelligence score of 18 would be able to cast her cantrips up to 13 times without needing to take a short rest: 4 from her key ability modifier, 4 from her proficiency bonus, and 5 more from character levels. If creating a character at a level higher than 1st, your number of cantrips per rest is equal to your proficiency bonus plus key ability modifier plus half your character level (rounded down, as is always the case). Cantrip slot increases occur regardless of the class which is raised, meaning that the number of uses increases even for those characters who do not have a spellcasting class, such as an elven fighter who has only a single cantrip granted by his heritage.

Tiefling Tiefling Upbringing A tiefling raised among their own kin can speak, read, and write Common and either Infernal or Abyssal. Infernal has its own written script, while Abyssal uses the Barazhad script. Tieflings are usually derived from human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look like their base heritage. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. Tieflings have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle’s, and some spiral upward like an antelopes’ horns. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid colors—black, red, white, silver, or gold—with no visible sclera or pupil. Their skin tones cover the full range of human coloration, but also include various shades of red. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple.

Nalya is an abyssal tiefling sorcerer from… somewhere, but she more-recently called Triboar home. Though some will claim she has a bad attitude, she’ll point out that she simply isn’t impressed by, well, much of anything, really.
Alasen is an infernal tiefling from Neverwinter, but raised as a paladin in Helm’s Hold. Devoted to the Order of the Gilded Eye, she has a soft spot for children—especially orphans—and a deep hatred for fiends of any kind.
