Player > Ancestry > Human > Feats
At 1st level, you gain one ancestry feat, and you gain an additional ancestry feat every 4 levels thereafter (at 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th levels). As a human, you select from among the following ancestry feats.
HUMAN
Prerequisites spellcasting class feature
Through study of multiple magical traditions, you’ve altered
a spell to suit your spellcasting style. Choose one cantrip
from a magical tradition other than your own. If you have a
spell repertoire or a spellbook, replace one of the cantrips you
know or have in your spellbook with the chosen spell. If you
prepare spells without a spellbook (if you’re a cleric or druid,
for example), one of your cantrips must always be the chosen
spell, and you prepare the rest normally. You can cast this
cantrip as a spell of your class’s tradition.
If you swap or retrain this cantrip later, you can choose its
replacement from the same alternate tradition or a different one.

UNCOMMONHUMAN
Access Varisian ethnicity or New Thassilon nationality
You have tattoos on your body corresponding to one of the ancient Thassilonian schools of magic. Choose one of the following schools of magic: abjuration (shield), conjuration (tanglefoot), enchantment (daze), evocation (electric arc), illusion (ghost sound), necromancy (chill touch), or transmutation (sigil). You can cast the associated cantrip (listed in parentheses) as an innate arcane spell at will.
HUMAN
The short human life span lends perspective and has taught you from a young age to set aside differences and work with others to achieve greatness. You gain a +4 circumstance bonus on checks to Aid.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.11
UNCOMMONFORTUNEHUMAN
Access Keleshite nationality
Trigger You critically fail a Diplomacy check.
Requirements You’re in a settlement or community, and you haven’t used Courteous Comeback in this settlement or community within the past month.
You grew up in the proud Padishah Empire, where even insults have a certain poetic wit. Reroll the triggering Diplomacy check, using the second result.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.11
UNCOMMONHUMAN
Access Chelaxian nationality
You know more about the habits of devils than is entirely safe. You gain a
+2 circumstance bonus to Perception checks against devils and saving throws against
their abilities. In addition, whenever you meet a devil in a social situation, you can
immediately attempt a Diplomacy check to Make an Impression on that creature
rather than needing to converse for 1 minute. You take a –5 penalty to the check. If
you fail, you can engage in 1 minute of conversation and attempt a new check at the
end of that time rather than accepting the failure or critical failure result.
Special If you have the Glad-Hand skill feat, you don’t take the penalty to your
immediate Diplomacy check if the target is a devil.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.12
HUMAN
Prerequisites Tian-Dan ethnicity
Many Tian-Dan claim to have dragon blood in their veins, and in your case, this is true—you can spit energy, and you might have an especially visible sign of your draconic heritage. Choose one of the following cantrips: acid splash, electric arc, produce flame, or ray of frost. You can cast this spell as an innate arcane spell at will, and when you cast it, the spell’s energy emerges from your mouth.
HUMAN
Your adaptability manifests in your mastery of a range of
useful abilities. You gain a 1st-level general feat. You must
meet the feat’s prerequisites, but if you select this feat during
character creation, you can select the feat later in the process
in order to determine which prerequisites you meet.
Special You can select this feat multiple times, choosing a
different feat each time.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.12
HUMAN
Prerequisites Nidalese ethnicity
Gloom holds few terrors for you, and the pall of darkness over Nidal has made you comfortable in dim light. You gain low-light vision.
HUMAN
Your powerful ego makes it harder for others to order you around. If you roll a success on a saving throw against a mental effect that attempts to directly control your actions, you critically succeed instead. If a creature rolls a failure on a check to Coerce you using Intimidation, it gets a critical failure instead (so it can’t try to Coerce you again for 1 week).
Lost Omens Character Guide p.12
UNCOMMONHUMAN
Access Taldan nationality
Trigger You are affected by an emotion effect.
Taldan pride means you never show weakness. Roll a Deception check and compare the result to any observing creatures’ Perception DCs. On a success, that creature believes you were unaffected by the emotion effect. A creature tricked in this manner can’t benefit from the emotion effect and can’t use abilities that require you to be under this emotion effect; for example, if you successfully use this ability to trick a will-o’-wisp (Pathfinder Bestiary 333) into believing you aren’t under a fear effect, it can’t use its Feed on Fear ability on you.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.12
UNCOMMONFORTUNEHUMAN
Access Vudrani ethnicity
Frequency once per day
Trigger You roll a critical failure on a saving throw against an emotion effect.
You center yourself and call to mind the Vudrani monastic ideals of mindfulness and self-knowledge. You fail the save against the emotion effect instead of critically failing.
HUMAN
You were raised to be ambitious and always reach for the stars, leading you to progress quickly in your chosen field. You gain a 1st-level class feat for your class. You must meet the prerequisites, but you can select the feat later in the character creation process in order to determine which prerequisites you meet.
HUMAN
Your ingenuity allows you to learn a wide variety of skills. You gain the trained proficiency rank in two skills of your choice.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.12
UNCOMMONHUMAN

offer you guidance. You gain the trained proficiency rank in the skill listed for your

the Assurance skill feat in that skill, as the spirits’ help guides your actions.

UNCOMMONCONCENTRATEHUMAN
Access Lirgeni nationality
Frequency 3 times per day
Requirements You must spend 10 minutes just after your daily preparations examining the sky or consulting a star chart or you can’t use this action that day.
The ancient Saoc Brethren were the masters of astrology, and while your knowledge may be but a pale shadow of their wisdom, it still comes in handy. You recall the stars’ predictions about your current situation. If your next action requires you to attempt one or more skill checks, roll 1d8. On a result of 6, 7, or 8, you gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the first such skill check you attempt. On a 3, 4, or 5, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus. On a 2, you gain nothing. On a 1, you take a –1 circumstance penalty to the skill check.

UNCOMMONHUMAN
Prerequisites You have a spellcasting class feature with the divine or primal tradition
Access Erutaki ethnicity
You know the truth behind old stories that tell of sending a fetish of bone and sinew to seek vengeance. These old magics allow you to conjure constructs with ease. Add the summon construct spell to your spell list. The constructs you summon have a distinct ivory scrimshaw appearance, and if you include a drop of blood, lock of hair, or other portion of a creature’s body as part of the spell’s material component, the summoned construct gains a +4 status bonus to Perception checks to sense or locate that creature.
HUMAN
You’ve familiarized yourself with a particular weapon, potentially
from another ancestry or culture. Choose an uncommon simple
or martial weapon with a trait corresponding to an ancestry
(such as dwarf, goblin, or orc) or that is common in another
culture. You gain access to that weapon, and for the purpose of
determining your proficiency, that weapon is a simple weapon.
If you are trained in all martial weapons, you can choose
an uncommon advanced weapon with such a trait. You gain
access to that weapon, and for the purpose of determining your
proficiency, that weapon is a martial weapon.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.13
UNCOMMONHUMAN
Access Ulfen ethnicity

If you roll a success on a saving throw against a curse or a spell cast by a witch or hag, you get a critical success instead.
HUMAN
Prerequisites Adapted Cantrip, can cast 3rd-level spells
You’ve continued adapting your magic to blend your class’s tradition with your adapted tradition. Choose a cantrip or 1st‑level spell from the same magical tradition as your cantrip from Adapted Cantrip. You gain that spell, adding it to your spell repertoire, spellbook, or prepared spells just like the cantrip from Adapted Spell. You can cast this spell as a spell of your class’s magical tradition. If you choose a 1st-level spell, you don’t gain access to the heightened versions of that spell, meaning you can’t prepare them if you prepare spells and you can’t learn them or select the spell as a signature spell if you have a spell repertoire.
HUMAN
You’ve learned how to handle situations when you’re out of your depth. You gain the Untrained Improvisation general feat. In addition, you can attempt skill actions that normally require you to be trained, even if you are untrained.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.13

Zon-Kuthon smiles upon you—even if you curse his name—granting you pitch-black eyes that allow you to see in shadows and darkness. You gain darkvision.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.13

Prerequisites Bonuwat ethnicity
You have been blessed by the sea, granting you the ability to swim like a fish.

You have developed a soul-deep bond with your comrades and maintain an even greater degree of cooperation with them. If you are at least an expert in the skill you are Aiding, you get a success on any outcome rolled to Aid other than a critical success.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.14
HUMAN
Prerequisites Dragon Spit
The blood of the Dragon Kings runs strong in your veins. Your draconic heritage is clearly visible, with hair that is almost entirely crimson, azure, or the like, and that shines like a dragon’s scales. You can cast the dragon breath sorcerer bloodline spell (Pathfinder Core Rulebook 403) as an innate arcane spell once per day, but you can use only the dragon breath that is associated with your heritage and that matches the energy type of your Dragon Spit feat. At 12th level and every 3 levels thereafter, the spell is heightened by an additional spell level.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.14
HUMAN
Prerequisites Saoc Astrology
In the past, you would have been a proud initiate of the Saoc Brethren. Today, you carry on their legacy. When you use Saoc Astrology, roll 1d4 instead; on a 1, you take a –1 penalty to the skill check. On any other result, you gain a circumstance bonus of that value (for instance, a +3 circumstance bonus on a 3).
HUMAN
Prerequisites Clever Improviser
Frequency once per day
Trigger You attempt a check using a skill you’re untrained in.
A stroke of brilliance gives you a major advantage with a skill despite your inexperience. Gain a +4 circumstance bonus to the triggering skill check.
HUMAN
You’ve learned to split your focus between multiple classes
with ease. You gain a 2nd-level multiclass dedication feat
(for more about multiclass archetypes, see page 219), even if
you normally couldn’t take another dedication feat until you
take more feats from your current archetype.
If you’re a half-elf, you don’t need to meet the feat’s ability
score prerequisites.
Lost Omens Character Guide p.14
HUMAN

You can cast that spell once per day as an innate arcane spell.

If the object encounters bright light, the spell ends and the object dissolves into shadows.
