Zariel Tiefling

D&D Beyond Article: Zariel Tiefling

Tieflings with a blood tie to Zariel are stronger than the typical tiefling and receive magical abilities that aid them in battle.

In addition to, or in lieu of, the abilities listed under Tiefling you have the following abilities:

Ability Score Increase: Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

This assumes you choose to not use the optional Ability Score Increase rules from Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

Legacy of Avernus: You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the searing smite spell as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the branding smite spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
