Elf / Orc Blood


Rules Questions


Does anyone have a link handy for the official clarification/explanation as to what you can and can't qualify for with it (such as a half-orc taking a human feat, racial favored class bonus, racial archetype, prestige class, etc)?

I know it's not just that you have a double weakness to the Bane enchant.

My search-fu is weak, and the only threads coming up are from in 2013 and have contradicting answers.

Half-Elf or Half-Orc: Can a character of either of these races select human racial archetypes (such as from Advanced Race Guide?

Yes. Half-elves and half-orcs may select racial favored class options, archetypes, traits, and so on, as if they were a full member of both races (a half-elf can select elf and human rules elements, a half-orc can select human and orc rules elements).

Edit 9/26/13: This is a reversal of an earlier ruling. This resolves a discrepancy between this FAQ and two Advanced Player's Guide FAQs.

So you qualify for any rules elements for either of the races from which you are descended.
