The half-fiend gains two claw attacks dealing 1d4+Str damage each and a bite attack dealing 1d6+1/2 Str damage. Those are the values for a medium sized half-fiend, and should be adjusted to half-fiends of other size by the standard die size changes.

The half fiend also gains a +1 bonus to natural armor(stacking with any previous natural armor bonus they had) and gain a bonus on saves against poison equal to her HD.

Smite good: A number of times per day equal to 1+1/5HD, a Half fiend can make a normal melee attack with a bonus equal to her Cha mod that deals extra damage equal to her HD against a good foe.

If they multiclasses for an arcane/divince class they can count its Half-fiend levels as levels of that class for purposes of CL and for the purposes of learning new spells and geting new spell slots. So for example, a Half-fiend 3 who took 1 level of sorceror could choose to have CL 4, get 3 2nd level spell slots, 1 1st level spell slot, 1 2nd level spell known and 1 0th level spell known. it wouldn't get the spell knowns and spell slots of a sorceror 3 however. They would get the familiar ability, but half-fiend levels wouldn't count for it

Ability Increase: The Half-fiend gains +1 to Con at first level, +1 to Dex at second level and +1 to Str and Int at 3rd level, for a total of +1 Con, +1 Dex, +1 Str, +1 Int at 3rd level.

Tainted soul: A second level Half-fiend gains spell resistance equal to 15+HD. She may raise or lower it at any time as a free action.

Wings: A half fiend at gains wings that allow she to fly at its land speed with average manueverability.

Tainted Hide: At third level, the Half-fiend's hide becomes supernaturally resilient. She gains damage reduction/magic equal to half his HD and resistance to acid, cold, fire and electricity equal to half its HD

The main challenge with the half-fiend class was making the levels balanced. I made the spell-like abilities dependent on both half-fiend levels and total HD
