So if I wanted to make an ethnicity for humans that removed some of the human default abilities like the bonus feat, and gave a bonus to a particular attribute or added a class skill how would I got about doing so?
I've looked at the Racial Cust Special tab. I'm thinking at least some of this will have to be either scripted or have to be done in some other area as a special ability of some kind. So... What is the best way to so this? |

Honestly that does not sound like a Ethnicity but an ART (Alternate Racial Traits). Which from HL point of view calls it a Subrace. Its really just different wording but I would advise using an "Alt. Racial Trait" instead of a Racial Cust Special as it will be easier.
You can use the section of the "Alt. Racial Trait" called "Removed Racial Special Abilities" to remove the abilities you don't want (ie Bonus Feat). You can also easily set if the Name of the ART should replace or append its name to the name Human. Then you will have to script new "Racial Special" to add new features and bootstrap them to the new ART.

Attached is a very quickly put together example of a ART called Shadow Human. It removes Bonus Feats and +2 Ability score and replaces with specific feats Power Attack and Endurance. In addition a new racial ability that only lets you select a Physical ability score for the +2 bonus.

The game only has humans, and everyone is a different ethnicity of human. Those different ethnicities give bonuses to attributes, skills, class skills, etc. Much like races, but I want human feats to show up as selectable so I want human as the base race.

If I can do them as different races and some how have them all show up as human as well for other things humans get access to that would be fine.

Right. The example and info I provided does "exactly" what your asking and saying. So I am lost on what point you are trying to make.

Actually I found another way to do it. Which is to just use Race, and then use Counts as Race. Easier for setting attributes and such.

Hmmm "if" you bootstrap all FCBs to each race it may work...
