So there's the standard Dhampir race, and it has two weaknesses. It has the sunlight thing, and the Negative energy thing. Ok, all good so far.
However, there are 'Variant Heritages', because there are different kinds of vampires. And they have alternate weaknesses, to have more diversity. But I've noticed something. Under each one, it says:
"Alternate Weakness". Not 'Weaknesses'. So, do the alternate Dhampirs just have one weakness, to the standard version's two? Does it only apply to one weakness? If so, do we choose which one we swap out? It isn't made very clear, from what I'm reading so far, anyone have any advice?

The rules for the alternate weaknesses are in the black header at the top of page 20, if you're using Blood of Night:
"Each heritage presents new features that replace the default dhampir racial trails (the alternate weaknesses replace a dhampir's light sensitivity racial trait), as well as a pair of custom race trails."
(bold emphasis mine)
That blurb is also present on d20pfsrd, in the text immediately above the Variant Dhampir Heritages table
None of the heritages remove or replace the Dhampir's negative energy affinity, to my knowledge.
Each heritage presents new features that replace the default dhampir racial traits (the alternate weaknesses replace a dhampir's light sensitivity racial trait), as well as a pair of custom race traits.
Ahh ha! Thank you, it's amazing how many times I can miss obvious things.
