Adoptive for 2E?

[TwilightKnight]

Is there a feat, etc. that lets one ancestry to take a feat from another ancestry? Specifically, I want to make a human raised by dwarves and take the Unburdened Iron feat.

It is called Adopted Ancestry. I would link to it, but Archives of Nethys is having a bit of a hiccup at this exact moment.

[Deadmanwalking]

Yes, as breithauptclan notes, the Adopted Ancestry General Feat does precisely this.

I would also have used Archives of Nethys, but it is indeed down at the moment.

Adopted Ancestry
General Feat 1
"You’re fully immersed in another ancestry’s culture and traditions, whether born into them, earned through rite of passage, or bonded through a deep friendship or romance. Choose a common ancestry. You can select ancestry feats from the ancestry you chose, in addition to your character’s own ancestry, as long as the ancestry feats don’t require any physiological feature that you lack, as determined by the GM."

From page 258 of the CRB. You'll either need to wait until 3rd level to get it (when most get their first general feat) OR select the Versatile Heritage for Human to get Adopted Ancestry -> Unburdened Iron at level 1.

Huh, I wouldn't have thought to look in general feats for such a thing. Seems off that most characters don't get general feats until 3rd, but then you would suddenly manifest a racial "trait" that you would think would be inherent, but I guess since they have ancestry feats that don't manifest until higher levels its not all that unusual. Just an add design mechanic.

Thanks for the replies!

Note it cannot involve biology/physiology in any way, so no getting, say, Iruxi claws or a detachable tail.

Note that in your specific case (human raised by dwarves) you can take the human ancestry feat "general training" to get this at level 1.

Deep Backgrounds, gamemastery pg# 186, can allow you to get the feat at 1st. Table 4-6: Homeland:
Result 15
"Add the Adopted Ancestry feat and the Lore skill related to your adopted ancestry (such as Dwarf Lore) to your background options. If you select this feat instead of a skill feat, you aren’t trained in a background skill."

Deep Backgrounds.

I’d actually go Versatile Heritage Human. That way the level 1 Ancestry feat can be Unburdened Iron.
