Past puberty, a half-fey is easily differentiated from their human brethren, as males have very hairy legs that bend backwards at the knee, and females have bright green hair (that in some cases changes with the seasons to red and then white, before returning to green). Other humans do not necessarily reject half-fey, though they do look on them with awe or suspicion most of the time.

Combat
Half-fey commoners will usually try to talk their way out of a fight.
Immunities (Ex): Half-fey are immune to magical charm spells and effects.
Recondite Pawns
Flavor Text (Type changes to Outsider)
Special Attacks: A fiendish creature retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains the following:
Coital Energy Drain: By engaging in an act of passion with their target, a recondite pawn may inflict a negative level.
Domination (Su): A recondite pawn can gain a creature’s trust just by looking onto his or her eyes. This is similar to a gaze attack, except that the recondite pawn must take a standard action, and those merely looking at it are not affected. Anyone the recondite targets must succeed at a Will save (DC 10 + half the recondite pawns HD + their Cha modifier) or become Friendly towards them. This ability has a range of 30 feet.
Coital Charm (Su): By engaging in an act of passion with their target, a recondite pawn may affect their target as though by a Charm Monster spell cast by a 1st level Sorcerer.
Variable Anatomy (Su): At will as a standard action, a recondite pawn may alter their gender, appearance, or sexual physiology or endowment as by Shapechange cast by a 17th level Sorcerer, but not their species. For example, a female recondite pawn could sprout a penis, or change form completely in to a male, or something in between. However, they always retain enough resemblance to their original form as to be recognizable.
Special Qualities: A Recondite Pawn retains all the special qualities of the base creatures and also gains the following:
Darkvision with a range of 60 feet.
Acid, sonic, and cold resistance (see the table below)
Damage Reduction (see the table below)
SR equal to double the creature’s HD (maximum 25)
Acid, Sonic,
Cold Resistance Damage
Hit Dice Resistance Reduction
1-3 5 -
2-7 10 5/Flesh
8-11 15 5/+1
12+ 20 10/+2
Note: 5/Flesh means that the DR is bypassed by a +1 weapon or any attack made by flesh of some sort – A bite, a punch, or even a bone club, but not wood.
Dominated: A Recondite Pawn is under the complete control of the Recondite that fathered it or transformed it. It is powerless to resist its commands. However, if they were formerly NOT recondite pawns and were transformed, and are ordered to do something utterly against their former nature, they may make a Will save (DC 20) to resist that particular command.
Saves: Same as the base creature
Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +2, Dex +2, Con +4, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +4.
Skills: A recondite pawn has 8 skill points, plus its Intelligence modifier, per Hit Die. Treat skills from the base creature’s list as class skills and other skills as cross-class. If the creature has a class, it gains skills for class levels normally.

Feats: Half-fiends have one feat for every four levels or the base creature’s total of feats, whichever is greater. In addition, they gain Skill Focus (Sexual Technique) as a bonus feat.

A creature gains the Recondite Pawn template one of two ways - One, it was fathered by a Recondite. Two, it was the victim of the Recondite's Coital Assimilation ability. Either way, the differences between them are minimal, but significant. Look at their Dominated special quality.
As for how you get rid of it - Kill the Recondite, then cast Remove Curse, Restoration, and Heal on the victim. That only works if they were assimilated. Children of the recondite get snatched away, and are never seen again, once their " parent" is destroyed...
