Adopted Trait


Rules Questions


The Adopted trait puzzles me and i need to clarify somthing. It reads

Adopted: You were adopted and raised by someone not of your actual race, and raised in a society not your own. As a result, you picked up a race trait from your adoptive parents and society, and may immediately select a race trait from your adoptive parents' race.

Now i read that as picking any of the adopted racial traits. My question is if you were adopted by a human could you take the extra feat racial trait? Or hell even their +2 to any stat? Human racial traits are

Human Racial Traits
+2 to One Ability Score: Human characters get a +2 bonus to one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied nature.
Medium: Humans are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.
Normal Speed: Humans have a base speed of 30 feet.
Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level.
Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at first level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level.

Again with the way the Adopted Trait reads i would have to say yes as a dm. This seems abit to strong. Has it been clarified somwhere?

Additionally nowhere in its entry does it state that you cannot take alternate racial traits and although their alternate its still a racial trait.. Toothy for example..

Thanks


i had that idea, but not you choose from the trait lists that only a certain race could, not a racial trait.

Adopted gives you a race trait (APG p. 331-332 and some sourcebooks), not a racial trait.


Ah i never put 2 and 2 together there.. i knew it couldnt be that strong. thanks for the clarification.
