My GM is allowing me to get three traits, one being a campaign trait and two others. I currently have Bred for War and would prefer not to get Reactionary. I would like to get traits that directly affect my Grapple CMB or CMD. After going through quite a few adopted race traits I have come across two decent options and was wondering which one is better for a Tetori. First option is Bent Body (Tiefling) which gives a +2 to CMD vs grapples. The second option is Final Embrace (Dhampir) +2 grapple combat maneuver checks to pin an opponent.
Anyone?

There aren't a whole lot. The problem is that two traits that modify CMB aren't likely to stack, as if they don't list a type on the bonus, they are considered trait bonuses. So, for example, Bred for War gives a +1 trait bonus to CMB. Final Embrace gives a +2 trait bonus to CMB to Pin. You would only get a +2 on checks to Pin, not +3.
That may mean that Bent Body is the better option, as Bred for War doesn't affect CMD, so there's no issue with them stacking.
Serpentine Squeeze Is good at +1 to grapple checks and CMD vs grapple.
Would I be able to get this and eventually Celestial Obiedience to Falayna? Or I can I not worship an empyral lord and a deity?
Well, having their follower worshiping an evil snake god will probably be distasteful for any good deity, regardless of deific hierarchy.

Typically, no, though your GM could always allow it. Generally, though, you can only benefit from worshipping one entity. The alignment is also an issue, as it’s impossible to be one step from LG and one step from CE at the same time. If it were PFS, or if your GM is sticking pretty strictly to the rules, then the answer is no. If your GM is open to reflavoring the trait to remove the deity requirement, then you’re fine.
thanks all. Ya GM won't allow serpent snake and Falayna. Sounds like I'll take Falayna and maybe Bred for War and Bent Body.
Ended up taking Bred for War and Indomitable Faith (didn't want to take Reactionary cuz my entire team has it)
Paragon of speed is reactionary bit with different fluff. Reactionary is just amazing, technically speaking. There is a good reason why the rest of your party is taking it.
Also you need to understand traits a little better. Bred for War is a race trait, so you can't take any other race traits.
