Standardized Ancestry Feats

Every ancestry in Starfinder serves as a unique expression of both your character's themes and the setting's rich diversity and provides a slew of unique feats and features to mechanically reflect these aspects in your game. Many ancestries have similar cultural and physiological features, which in mechanical terms means they also share similar feats. Standardized ancestry feats serve as a universal template for shared abilities that can be taken by any character using the ancestries in this book. These ancestries can use feats from other products that work best across multiple ancestries instead of being tied to one. In some cases, these feats consolidate similar ancestry feats together. When a character gains an ancestry feat, they can choose a feat from the standardized ancestry feats available to their ancestry instead of one of the feats that are regularly available to their ancestry. Each ancestry lists the standardized ancestry feats available to that ancestry prior to listing the specific feats available to the ancestry. Many of these feats have specific options listed in parenthesis, such as “Creature Speech (rat),” which indicates what options you can select from when you take the feat. If a feat has multiple options in parentheses, you can only choose one of the options each time you take the ancestry feat, and not all feats can be taken multiple times. Some of the feats have additional prerequisites that might be impossible to fulfill if you select certain lineages or heritages that remove default features from your ancestry.
