Elf Blood / Orc Blood!

Does it meet the prerequisite of feats or allow those half races to take the racial archetypes of either race and their own special set created for being a half blooded creature?

Elf Blood: Half-Elves counts as both elves and humans for -any- effect related to race.

Yes to feats, no to racial archetypes. They also don't qualify to take racial favoured class options.

You should probably not read "any" as underlined in that way. It'll lead you into errors. I believe (though others have disagreed) that you could look at the Racial Heritage feat for an extended, though still not ideal, guide to what was intended by "effect related to race".


Thanks for the help! Now I just got to convince my friend about seeing it that way.

Hey! I have more information on this topic, in the 'Humans of Golarion' book, under the last paragraph of both the half-elf section and half-orc section, they may only take feats and traits of one of their ancestors, not both.
