Adopted Ancestry

Can you retrain out of Adopted Ancestry?

[David knott 242]

Sure, why not? You don't have to take this feat at 1st level, and you can certainly be "un-adopted" or disowned.

but keep in mind that you would also need to retrain out of whatever feat you picked from your adopted ancestry as well though, since without Adopted Ancestry you would no longer qualify for it.

I don't know if I'd call it a hard rule, but it seems like options that can't be retrained will say so. But like most things, it ends up being a GM call.

Is this still used to determine origin, location, and ethnicity in PFS/Organised Play? If so, you might not be able to retrain out of it in those formats

Be careful how you specify your "adoption" in the first place and it gets easier to convince your GM you can de-adopt. It's not really them adopting you much of the time, it's you adopting them....

You’re fully immersed in another ancestry’s culture and traditions, whether born into them, earned through rite of passage, or bonded through a deep friendship or romance.

The traditional gift at a gnome/non-gnome wedding is a flickmace, but you have to give it back if you divorce.

And following the ceremony, all the fey turn invisible and take turns giving wedgies to the non-fey-descended attendees.

True story. Ask anyone with Gnome Lore.

I thought all the Most Holy Gnomish Orphanages of the Divine Orders burned down a while ago, killing every non-gnome in them? If a few errant champions escaped with their flickmaces, they should probably be hunted down so the arson didn't go to waste
