I'm pretty sure this is in the wrong place ...but I'm not sure where to place this question, so here will do.
The Helf-Elf racial ability says, "Half-Elves count as both elves and humans for *any* effect related to race."
The elven racial ability - Weapon Familiarity says this, "Elves are proficient with longbows(including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows(including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word 'elven' in its name as as a martial weapon."
Does that mean that an 'Elven' Curve Blade counts as a martial weapon for half-elves?

Well, no. He was raised by his human parent... the character I'm referring to is my new PFS character - Reyhansu Haraadzi = Half-Elf, male, Magus 1.
He's now posted at the site. Long history...I'm not sure if I won't change it to ...streamline it. Seems too wordy to me and perhaps just a bit too grand... I have that problem sometimes when I write.
No it does not. Effects are strictly the effects of magic upon the character as defined by blood type.
This part isn't completely correct, but only due to omission. You count as elf for the purposes of feats, class features (such as favored enemy), accessing prestige classes (few of these left that have racial requirements), and magical effects (such as spells and magical items).
Only two PrC's have racial requirements, and only one of them is Elf. As I understand it Paizo will eventually update the descriptions of Arcane Archer and Dwarven Defender to make them race neutral.
I don't know of any feats that require pure elven blood, but I would houserule that certain magic items such as elven chain use methods that are only taught to pure blooded elves.
Yeah you are correct on the prestige classes, and as to the feats, elven accuracy springs to mind.
This works for the Human side as well, allowing access to the racial heritage feat.
No it does not. Effects are strictly the effects of magic upon the character as defined by blood type.so what dose?
As mentioned in the thread above, things like bane weapons.
Also, it's not just magic. Things like a Ranger's favored enemy come into play--a half elf would count as human for favored enemy humanoid (human) and elf for favored enemy humanoid (elf).
