A little Mod that adds the Tiefling Claws included in my Tiefling Subrace Mod as a standalone option, if you don't want subraces but claws still sound like a fun addition.
This adds a new Ability called "Infernal Claws" to Asmodeus, Mephistopheles and Zariel Tieflings at level 1.
Yes, this includes NPCs.
Infernal Claws use the characters Spellcasting Ability for their Attack roll. They scale similarly to cantrips to avoid them becoming entirely useless and likely unwise to waste your action on later on in the game, but they are still primarily intended to just add a little bit of extra spice to Tieflings.
At level one, Infernal Claws deals 1d6 slashing damage + 2 fire damage
This damage scales as follows
(min dmg-max dmg)
Level 1-3: 1d6 + 2 (3-8) | Level 4-5: 1d8 + 3 (4-11)
Level 6-7: 2d6 + 4 (6-16) | Level 8-9: 2d6 + 5 (7-17)
Level 10-12: 3d6 + 6 (9-24)

Please don't install more than one Version. They are not compatible.

this does not include the Tiefling Compendium subraces, they already include claws. Half Demon tested & functional.
