Alternate Racial Abilities

In general, Wold policy prohibits the use of traits, classes and prestige classes from The Paizo Pathfinder Advanced Players Guide. Other rules from that book MAY be allowed on a case-by-case basis. Possible options may include individual spells, feats, and optional racial abilities for core races that can be swapped out to replace the standard core racial abilities. The rules for those "racial traits" can be found here. The Wold also has alternate racial abilities for the four Woldian custom races. If you would like to use an alternate racial ability, contact your DM and/or the Powers That Be.
