For PFS, how is the Adopted Social trait and subsequent racial trait fall into the traits scheme of the PFS guide.
Are the two traits just one social trait? Or, do they count cumulatively as a social and a racial trait?
I want to know so I can figure out what has been Xed off my list of available options for my latest character.
As I understand it, the adopted trait forces you to instantly take a racial trait, giving you three traits, one social, one racial, and one whatever the other trait you pick.
OK that basicly confirms what i was leaning towards, ie the conservative understanding of the trait.

Correct. Except the third trait you pick has to be something other then social or racial.
A point on terminology: Adopted allows you to pick a race trait, not a racial trait. Although the names are similar, they're very different things.

I was thinking of posting pretty much the exact same thing, Paz... ;) So many people read Race trait, and immediately process it as Racial trait then think "Oh cool, I can get a half-orc's darkvision!" <sigh>

Also keep in mind, I think it’s only the Gnomes of Golarion book, but some other race books separate out the race traits into social, combat, faith, and magic as well.
So you could not take any gnome race traits that are listed as social traits in the gnome book, because Adopted is a social trait. So you can’t be a dwarf with etymologist.
