I have came across an alternate racial trait that doesn't seem right to me when plugged into Hero Lab. I know Hero Lab is not a rules source so that is why I am asking.

When building an Aasimar character (it is grandfathered) you select the alternate racial trait Scion of Humanity. Then it gives you access to the human racial traits where you can select the versatile human racial trait.

Now Hero lab is giving you your +2 to wisdom and charisma. It also gives you the new option of selecting two additional attributes to add a +2.

This seems completely wrong to me even though both traits are approved in the additional resources and was wondering if anyone else have seen this is this and have heard of any official ruling on this.

Scion of Humanity:
Some aasimars' heavenly ancestry is extremely distant. An aasimar with this racial trait counts as an outsider (native) and a humanoid (human) for any effect related to race, including feat prerequisites and spells that affect humanoids. She can pass for human without using the Disguise skill. This racial trait replaces the Celestial language and alters the native subtype.

This trait does not give you access to anything.
It only lets you fulfill some prerequisites.

It is also important to notice that there is a difference between race traits and racial traits.

Herolab has implemented the access to the alternate traits, but sometimes the prerequisites are not checked properly.

i.e. an alternate racial trait for a human, replacing the bonus feat, will be listed as available in Aasimar even though you don't have a bonus feat (HL bug - to be reported)
