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

Re: Pathfinder Player Race List

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

Yeah, looks a little like a fan made conversion of the Neanderthal from Frostburn.

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.

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?

Take note that it is mitigated if they are sorcerers, though.

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

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.

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?

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.
