Any way to qualify for a racial Archetype for a different race?


Rules Questions

Scarab Sages

I know that Half-Elves and Half-Orcs qualify for human and either elf or orc archetypes respectively, but other than that is there any way to take a racial archetype you don't qualify for? Some trait or feat?

I'm trying to find a way for a Dhampir to qualify for Bard: Wayang Shadow Pupeteer (which flavor wise would seem like a good fit,) and coming up empty.

Thanks.


Racial Heritage (APG) allows a human to take other racial archetypes, but I don't know of anything that would work with a Dhampir.


Nothing rules legal, you'd have to go to the DM with a "racial archetypes are kinda dumb" appeal.

Given how few of them have anything to do with their connected race's mechanics, I'd think most GMs would go for it. There's no reason for 95% of the racially-restricted stuff in the game to be restricted so.

Damn. I had high hopes. Thanks y'all.

There is also the Scion of Humanity alternate racial trait for Aasimars that lets them qualify as human, but so far that is it. I am pretty sure that there is nothing to let a Dhampir qualify as a Wayang.


Both summon monster and unseen servant is on the Bard list. Just play a normal bard and play your fiddle when you use those spells.
And it is a terrible archtype IMOP.
