[QUOTE="Flamestrike, post: 8149645, member: 6788736"] That's a reasonable argument to make to keep racial feats, only for those races. Personally I would prefer it if they clarified the racial requirements to include custom lineages (if daddy was a Tiefling, then you can select the Flames of Phlegethos feat) or even go one step further and open them up to people with any connection to the race if the DM agrees and it makes sense. Elven accuracy (for example) can be taken by Half Elves, so presumably any lineage that features Elves to some degree could develop that Feat. I agree that strictly RAW you cant use custom lineage (Elf) to take Elven accuracy (despite - in game - being an Elf, being raised by Elves, considering yourself an Elf and being accepted as an Elf). But I see absolutely nothing wrong, broken or OP with allowing a Custom Lineage Elf to take the feat as their bonus feat, and fully intend (in games I run) to allow players to use the Custom Lineage 'race' to emulate other races, while also taking a feat at 1st level like Vumans do (including racial feats - if those feats are tied to their stated lineage, make sense and they otherwise meet the requirements). The benefit is more diversity in characters, and PCs wont feel shoehorned into certain races or options, and those things (increased player choice, more concepts being available, greater diversity) are all goals worth pursuing.
