AnonymousPersonally, I was in Act 3 and completely deleted that save, precisely because I want to make a Hellish Knight-esque Warlock and the Flame Blade is actually INCREDIBLY powerful among the Weapons you can get even later in the game. It's really good. But the only way to get it either by being a Druid or by making this Tiefling Subrace. The good thing about it here vs Druid or a Scroll is simple: While you can't upcast the Blade as a Racial trait, it also doesn't vanish after 10 Turns. And Warlock cannot Bind a Pact Weapon mid-combat (obv), so if you ever get into a hairy situation out of nowhere (surprise etc.) you can't use your main weapon as effectively. The Racial-summoned Blade simply does not vanish until you have to recast it, as long as it stays in Inventory. So it will always be bound.

The Arcane demon Mephistopheles granting your Tiefling Sorcerer the worst spells as a joke.
Burning Hands is good but it gets outpowered quickly and never used again. Flame Blade is cool, but also not something to really want or ever use if you're a Sorcerer.
So the arcane demon saves you a cantrip slot on Mage Hand? This is what happens when you get read of racial ASI but don't change any feats. At least its not as bad as Dragonborn.
What do their spells scale with?
