Notes
For Tiefling, variant appearance and Feral are both templates that can be added to Abyssal or Infernal (Not Revenant). For
Abyssal Variant Appearance, remove Abyssal Arcana. For Infernal Variant, Remove Infernal Legacy.
For Revenant, it can be applied to any race with Subraces, Shifter is not recommended for obvious reasons. Certain races
without subraces have specific replacements.
