I have a player who has Elven Reflexes (Half-Elf Race trait), and another feat, in a different category. He's about to level, and is considering getting the "Additional traits" feat, to pick up 2 more feats. One of the ones he's considering is Adopted. (I'm not sure which race feat he wants to buy with it.)
Now, I'm inclined to rule against it, because that would essentially mean he has 2 race feats (Elven Reflexes and the new one.) He says this isn't fair, since that actually limits 2 categories, rather than just one. (That is, if he took adopted, he wouldn't be able to take a Race trait OR a Social trait.) My feeling is that the adopted trait says "I was raised by X race, instead of my actual race", and allowing another one would say "I was raised by both my actual race, AND another race."
So, does buying adopted limit you from taking both a social (as adopted is a social trait) and a race (as the "free" trait would be a racial), or can you have an adopted trait for one race, and a race trait from a second race?
