Cleric Archtype Forgemaster

I was looking at the Forgemaster's profile in Hero Lab Editor and under Bonus Feats Granted it had Craft Magic Arms and Armor, which you get at level 3 but then it also has Heavy Armor Proficiency and Skill Focus. I do not see where they would get these feats from, and they don't show up any where on the character no matter what level they are so I was wondering from a "coding" point of view why this line of code even exist?

If you look at the conditions for those feat bootstraps, they are only if the character is a PFS character. (hero#source.SocChar). This is because PFS doens't allow crafting, therefore instead of it granting Craft Magic Arms & Armor, it grants heavy armor proficiency. Instead of it granting a Master Smith ability, it grants Skill Focus (craft).

This is described in the Advanced Race Guide section of the PFS Additional Resources document/page: http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/about/additionalResources

Dwarves: all alternate racial traits, except craftsman and xenophobic, are legal for play; racial subtypes are legal for play; all favored class options except wizard are legal for play; all archetypes are legal for play. The Forgemaster's 3rd level Craft Magic Arms and Armor bonus feat is replaced with the Heavy Armor Proficiency feat. The Forgemaster's 5th level master smith ability is replaced with Skill Focus (Craft); all dwarven equipment, feats, magic items, and spells are legal for play.
