You become trained in a skill of your choice. You gain the Quick Squeeze feat as a bonus feat, even if you aren't trained in Acrobatics. When you arrive at a new settlement, you can automatically find the nearest Rattata or Rat-like creature Faction, Group or Family by spending 1 day of downtime searching, provided one exists and its members aren't actively hiding from you. Once you've made contact, you can always talk to those creatures if they have a language - even a language you don't know - by creating a new pidgin language that uses simplified terms and conveys basic concepts. If you are an expert in diplomacy, they start 1 step friendlier to you and your group than they normally would.
You may take any of the following feats as an Ancestry Feat.
Top Percentile
Level 1
Select a type of save from Will, Reflex or Fortitude. When you roll a Critical Failure for that type of save, you treat it as a failure instead. (This effect has the Mental and Emotion traits) Starting level 13, if you roll a critical success against that type of save, the creature who performed the triggering effect becomes Stupefied 1 and fascinated by you for one round.
Unweedable
Level 1
Requirement : Trained in Stealth or Survival
You are able to adapt to your surroundings in a way only an invasive species could. You gain the Terrain Stalker general feat and you can spend 1 day of downtime scavenging in your local environment to change Terrain Stalker's terrain choice to a different kind that is common in the area. If you do, you become able to subsist in the local environment without taking the usual –5 penalty after 8 hours of exploration and if you roll a failure, you get a success instead. This change lasts until you spend a week away from the local environment, whereupon it returns to whatever terrain you chose originally.
