Racial heritage question

[mage4fun]

Hello, I have a question on the feat, Racial Heritage outlined below:

Prerequisite: Human.

Benefit: Choose another humanoid race. You count as both human and that race for any effects related to race. For example, if you choose dwarf, you are considered both a human and a dwarf for the purpose of taking traits, feats, how spells and magic items affect you, and so on.

Based on how it is written, will I be able to do this.

Human with racial heritage; Dwarf

Dwarven war axe would be considered a martial weapon for me instead of an exotic weapon?

No. You only count as a dwarf but you don't get any racial abilities.
So you neither get weapon familiarity nor do you get darkvision.

I think that the last bit in the last sentence (and so on) needs to be clarified a bit. What aspects of the racial "things" fall in to the category "and so on" ?

I can understand the physical aspects of the race not being part of racial heritage (size, vision, resistance(?), and such, but a familiarity with a weapon seems to fall into the concept of adhering to that racial heritage background. Just my view on how the feat seems to work.

Nope, it doesn't fall under the same effect purely on the grounds that Weapon familiarity is a racial ability, not a trait, feat, spell etc.

Of course, there's nothing stopping you either

a) Talking your GM into letting you spend a trait to qualify for the proficiency

b) Taking the Feat EWP(Dwarven Waraxe)

The "and so on" part basically means that your type goes from:

Humanoid (Human)

To

Humanoid (Human)(Dwarf)

In regards to how spells, effects or abilities treat you. If a ranger with favored enemy Dwarf, hit you you would take more damage. It isn't a spell or effect, it is a class ability (which would fall in that "so on" category) that caused you to take more damage. If a portal only worked for dwarves, you could get through even though there is no spell or effect targeting you which again would fall into that "so on" clause.
