- Academician: Some lambkins are more academically inclined than their kin. Lambkins with this racial trait gain a +2 bonus on any single Knowledge skill. This racial trait replaces magic expert.

- Inquisitive: Lambkins have a knack for being in places they shouldn’t be. Lambkins with this trait gain a +2 racial bonus on Disable Device and Escape Artist checks. This racial trait replaces magic expert.
- Magical Linguist: Lambkins study languages in both their mundane and supernatural manifestations. Lambkins with this racial trait add +1 to the DC of spells they cast with the language-dependent descriptor or those that create glyphs, symbols, or other magical writings. They gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against such spells. Lambkins with Charisma scores of 11 or higher also gain the following spell-like abilities: 1/day—comprehend languages, message, read magic. The caster level for these effects is equal to the lambkin’s level. This racial trait replaces magic aptitude.
- Polyglot: Some lambkins, especially those who spend a lot of time traveling, develop a talent for learning new languages. These lambkins gain a +2 racial bonus on Linguistics checks, and it is always a class skill for them. Lambkins with this racial trait also begin play with the ability to speak Common, Lambkin, and any one other language of their choice in addition to bonus languages due to high Intelligence. They still gain the normal list of lambkin bonus languages. This racial trait replaces magic expert and alters the lambkin language racial trait.
