Ancestor Unchained Eidolon Ability Score

[Panchio]

Hello, there!
This probably was already settled at some other thread, however, Dr. Google didnt guide me to it :(.

So, let me ask, does the Unchained Eidolon with the Ancestor subtype gains the ability score changes associated with its racial traits?

My instinct, as a DM and a Pathfinder player, says this was not their intention.

However, the book says "An ancestor eidolon gains only the standard racial traits of its race", which, at first glance, would include the ability scores.

For instance, does a Eidolon with orc ancestor subtype gains +4 str, -2 int, -2 cha and -2 wis?

Was there any clarification towards that?

Thank you all for reading.

Ooh, I had never considered that. Good question.

Ability score racial traits are standard racial traits, so in your example you'd get the orc stat modifications.

Although I do think PFS changed those rules for PFS games -- but the answer given already in this thread is correct for non-PFS games.
