Blessed Human / Halfling Relationship?

[Pheoran Armiez]

Couple quick questions, just because it is late and I am bored...

Firstly, if an Aasimar with the Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait takes the Racial Heritage (Human) feat at 1st level to be treated as a Halfling, can they begin play as a Small sized character? I ask because Aasimars descended from Halflings are Small sized but otherwise mechanically the same.

Secondly, if they can begin play as Small sized characters, do they appear as a human child or would they have to take Childlike (Halfling) and Pass for Human (Halfling) to appear as a human child?

Just wondering.

PS - I don't want to get into the mechanical/social issues with a human/halfling relationship; I just thought the thread title was attention-grabbing.

You mean Racial Heritage(Halfling).

Small sized Aasimar are an option, with DM approval.

You would fluff the PC's appearance at your desire.

Yeah, you don't need racial heritage to select a small sized Aasimar or Tiefling. Unfortunately, Scion of Humanity is the only means of actually grabbing racial heritage to count as the race you're thematically descended from. For home games, a GM might be persuaded to allow other humanoid subtypes (Scion of Halfingity?).

And this is a home game, because Small-size aasimars are not legal for PFS.
