Making a creature count as human?

[ShiningCrusader]

Hello everyone. i have a quick question, is there anyway to gain the humanoid (human) type on another race though traits/feats?

Adopted: You were adopted and raised by someone not of your race, and raised in a society not your own. As a result, you picked up a race trait from your adoptive parents and society, and may immediately select a race trait from your adoptive parents' race.

You just choose the creature type racial trait then.

Become adopted by humans (trait). I would ask the DM if she would allow you to take the Additional Trait Feat (?), and pick Adopted (?) as one of your Traits.

Half-Elves and Half-Orcs already count as humans for stuff, Aasimar, Tiefling, and the elemental races (Undines and rest) have all an alternate racial trait for it.

so wait.. you can use adopted trait to gain human's (humanoid (human)) type? just that easy? by RAW?

I don't think it grants you the full racial type, just the ability to select a racial trait.

well, is it possible to use adopted to get elf blood from half elves, so i could be treat as a elf and more importantly human?

I don't think the Adopted trait allows you to get anything but another racial trait. Remember, you're adopted, not given a blood transfusion. :smalltongue:

There is an annoyingly important distinction to be made here between [racial traits] and [race] traits. The former is whatever innate abilities a race grants, such as ability score adjustments. The latter is a type of trait (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/traits).

The best solution to this silly confusion-breeding similarity is to rename [racial traits] as Race Features, because they're like the "class features" granted by your choice of race.
