Hi,
If a character acquires a certain subtype like elf or orc can s/he pick racial feats of that given race?
(What comes into mind is the Orc Blood sorcerer who acquires the orc subtype)
Thanks!
No. Half-orcs and Half-elves have a specific racial trait aside from their subtype that makes them count as both human and orc/elf (meaning it doesn't come from the subtype).
Actually, yes. The "Orc-blood" and "Elf-blood" racial traits are just a shorthand for explaining how a humanoid race with multiple subtypes operates. Any humanoid subtype counts as the appropriate race, regardless of how you get it.
ARG wrote: Humanoid races have few or no supernatural or spell-like abilities, but most can speak and have well-developed societies. Humanoids are usually Small or Medium, unless they have the giant subtype, in which case they are Large. Every humanoid creature also has a subtype to match its race, such as human, giant, goblinoid, reptilian, or tengu. If you are making a new humanoid race, you should either find an existing subtype to match or make a new one by using the name of the race as the subtype. If you are making a half-breed race, it should have the racial type of both parent races. For example, a half-elf has both the human and the elf subtypes. Subtypes are often important to qualify for other racial abilities and feats. If a humanoid has a racial subtype, it is considered a member of that race in the case of race prerequisites. A humanoid race has the following features.

That 'special' racial trait does nothing. it simply restates what they already got by having the subtypes. Kazaan has the correct rules quote.
