Adopted...by a human

[thepuregamer]

Ok, I was looking through the traits in the apg and I arrived upon adopted which allows you to pick up a racial trait of your adoptive parents race. Now a ton of these are nice but, if you are adopted by humans, you can get a free bonus feat. Am I wrong? this is sort of amusing.

or perhaps they do not mean racial traits though... not sure they might mean pick a trait off of the dwarf list further in the apg

Another should be in the FAQ but isn't candidate here.

"Race Traits" Are trait's you find in the 'traits' section of the APG and supplemental books.

"Racial Traits" are the items in a races listing.

You can use adopted to pick up the former but not the latter.

Bonus Feat, Darkvision, Elven Sleep immunity are all "Racial Traits" and cannot be taken with the adopted trait.

I figure you probably want some kind of official ruling, but yes, it would be a trait from the apg that relates to your adopted race.

EDIT: I knew someone was typing an answer at the same time as me, ninja Ogre.

It's been asked about a dozen times with official rulings so if people want to get all rules lawyery they can do a search.

yeah that was too good for a trait if it worked in the broader sense. I was like, something seems wrong, so I just had to post. but then I looked further in and I realized their intentions.
