[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7741301, member: 6779196"] So, I’m way into this. Heritage Feats are a great way to handle subraces, and since they’re making a clear distinction between the physiological, character creation only Heritage Feats and the cultural Ancestry Feats that can be taken at later levels, it will be easy to do the “elf raised by dwarves” thing by simply allowing players to take Heritage Feats from their race and Ancestry Feats from the race they were raised among. I had assumed they would be doing this by way of Backgrounds, but this will be even better, since it means you won’t have the awkward situation of locking in your Background choice if you want a certain race’s features. So you can [i]both[/i] be a human raised by elves [i]and[/i] have the Scout Background. Brilliant. It does look like Ancestries might be a little nerfed compared to PF1 races, unfortunately. A lot of the features that used to come with a race at 1st level seem to be getting made into Ancestry Feats, so that’s a bit of a bummer. But worth the tradeoff in my opinion.
