This page is of questionable balance. Reason: It might be too weak. "Evil Heritage" trait doesn't do anything. "Transformation" is not a keyword. No duration provided for Barbed Devil Heritage: it's effectively permanent. 4e does not have "slashing" and "piercing" damage types, and this weapon is pretty worthless (no proficiency bonus, falls behind the enchantment curve)

[edit] Barbed Hybrid
The boss said to, "Take him out." Once in his cottage, I found out that our target was unnatural. At the first sign of danger, the target's ears became spiky and pointy, and he started becoming different shades of green. He grew spikes practically all over his body.

[edit] Playing a Barbed Hybrid
Barbed Hybrids associate with humans pretty well. But they're really close to the tieflings, because of the tieflings devil heritage. Barbed Hybrids don't associate well with Elves and are really uneasy with good clerics. They love having a fight, and are not really good diplomats. They're hot-tempered, and are provoked easily.
Barbed Hybrid Characteristics: Loves fighting, hot tempered.
