Adopted trait

[Hakken]

if a half elf took the adopted trait--could he use it to get the elfs failiarity with longswords, longbows and short bows?

[Chemlak]

Yep.

[Azten]

No. The Adopted Trait refers to the racial traits in the same section as the Adopted Trait, like Warrior of Old. Otherwise it would to powerful for a trait.

NO. <rolls eyes> Race traits are different from Racial traits. Do a search. Many threads on this same question. Adoption gives you access to a RACE trait not a RACIAL trait.

(Eye roll was in paizo's direction for choosing the similar names not to the question...)

Ah, my bad. Shows what happens when you don't read everything thoroughly before posting.
