Favored Class Options are handled by the Race itself. You will have to do two things to create a new FC option.
1 - Create the Favored Class Option under Class -> Favored Class Optn, making sure you select the proper Available Race and Available Class options. 2 - Create a copy of the Race, set it to replace the original race's ThingID, then in the new race, under Favored Class Options, enable your new FC Option. Save, and recompile. |

seriously ?
there is no way to add a new FC to an existing race without re-creating the whole race ? O_ô |

No. It really isn't that difficult though. Took me about 5 minutes tops to do what i described above, which would get you the option to select. Then its just a matter of scripting the actual effect into the FC option itself.

many thanks ! indeed copying the race was easy
It's now working (even if I still find this sad if there is no other way) |

Actually You can create the favored class bonus as normal, then create a mechanic, name it whatever you want, give it a source if it needs it, then bootstrap the favored class bonus to it. Test, reload system and then check, I just did it and it worked fine. The favored class bonus doesn't have to be bootstrapped to the race, it's just easiest to bootstrap it to the race and class, but you can bootstrap it to anything really, it just has to be bootstrapped.

never explored mechanics much, so its not my go-to method for things yet.

The gist of a Mechanic is it is always bootstrapped to every character that has the source enabled. I use them for a couple of things for Rite Publishing in Heroes of the Jade Oath and The Secrets of Adventuring so that every character can have access to the general abilities they grant.
