Orc who thinks he is a goblin!

Grand Lodge 2/5

Ok I'm working on a concept for society... i want to play a 1/2 orc with martial capabilities who was raised by goblins... if i do this i want to us the trait adopted and us some thing for the "Goblin Companion" and use the medium version of the dog slicer from the Ultimate Equipment... does all this seem legal for pathfinder play?

Neither the goblin book nor the goblin section in ARG is currently legal for PFS which means no goblin traits for the adopted trait.

but he can atleast use the dog slicer?

yeah, that's been legal in several different books (I believe ISWG and Adventurer's Armory). I've seen several players using medium-sized horse choppers to good use, though no dog slicers...

You can use that as your backstory, but you still can't use anything out of the Goblins of Golarion.

Pathfinder Player Companion: Goblins of Golarion

To create a goblin character, you must have a Chronicle sheet that opens the race as a legal option at character creation. Only legal goblin PCs are allowed to choose anything from this book.

I believe you can say you were, but I think the goblin traits are still limited to be only for goblins. Not 100% sure on that, though, and I'd love to be wrong.

Nebten's quote is accurate. It seems only goblins can use the traits from the book. Even for the Advanced Race Guide, it says "Alternate racial traits, racial archetypes, racial feats, and racial spells are only available for characters of the associated race." How this works with the Adopted trait, I don't know. But right now it's still looking confusing at best.

You're not wrong.

adopted only gives you access to the trait traits, not the racial traits.

So you can take the race trait of a goblin? Or is it more of I cant use the race traits and just have it as blurb In the background and he uses a med dog slicer because of it?

You can not use anything from goblins of golarion, unless you have a boon that let's you play a goblin.

Ok what of the advance race? The weapon comes from the ultimate armory

nothing from the advanced race guide under goblin either. Dog Slicer is fine.

How does the PFS rule interact with this feat from the APG, which is legal per the Additional Resources?

Quote:

Racial Heritage

The blood of a non-human ancestor flows in your veins.
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.

Only lets you pick from available races. So Elf, Dwarf, Tiefling etc. No Goblin, Fetchling, Nagaji etc.

Almost all the material in the Advanced Race Guide is limited to the specific race the material is presented with. The only exception I think is an alchemy discovery.

Most racial material in other books is available as long as that race doesn't require a boon. If the race requires a boon, then you need the boon for a character to access that material.

The proper entries in the Additional Resources page will provide what is restricted in this manner.
