As described in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Race Guide ™, alternate racial rules allow
you to exchange standard racial traits for new ones, such as those presented below.

This racial trait replaces the skilled trait. This racial trait replaces the skilled trait.
RACIAL ARCHETYPES
As described in the Pathfinder® Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player’s Guide ™, archetypes are variant
sets of class abilities which modify their corresponding base classes via the use of alternate class
features. When a character selects a class, he must normally choose to use the standard class features
found in the class's original source – the exception is if he chooses to adopt an archetype. Each alternate
class feature presented in an archetype replaces a specific class feature from its parent class.
When an archetype includes multiple alternate class features, a character must take them all – often
blocking the character from ever gaining certain standard class features, but replacing them with other
options. All other class features of the base class that aren't mentioned among the alternate class
features remain unchanged and are acquired normally when the character reaches the appropriate
level, unless noted otherwise. A character who takes an alternate class feature does not count as having
the class feature that was replaced for the purposes of meeting any requirements or prerequisites.
A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none
of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another
alternate class feature. Racial archetypes are typically available only to members of the indicated race,
though such options rarely interact with the racial traits of that race.
THE FIREBUG (GOBLIN ROGUE ARCHETYPE)
Arson is a hobby that most goblins share, but some goblins become more fixated than others. For some, healthy curiosity gives
way to macabre obsession. Enter the firebug; a green-skinned sneak that would rather set you ablaze than slit your throat.
A firebug has the following class features.
Flint and Steel (Ex): A firebug’s sneak attack deals fire damage, and a firebug must wield a piece of steel or a steel weapon in
one hand and an alchemically-prepared wedge of flint in the other in order to deal sneak attack damage. A firebug can prepare
such a flint wedge with 1 hour of work. Wielded as an improvised weapon, the wedge deals damage equivalent to a dagger.
Against an opponent denied its Dexterity bonus to AC, a firebug may simply ignite the creature as a standard action, dealing
his sneak attack damage normally. Whether ignited or damaged normally, a creature that takes fire damage from a firebug’s
sneak attack must succeed on a Reflex saving throw with a DC equal to the damage dealt or catch fire.
This ability alters sneak attack.
Burned (Ex): A firebug gains fire resistance and a bonus on Craft (alchemy) skill checks equal to half his rogue level (minimum 1).
This ability replaces trapfinding.
Pyromaniacal Glee (Ex): At 3rd level, the DCs for any spell-like ability that the firebug gains from the minor magic or major
magic rogue talents are increased by +1, as long as that spell-like ability has the fire descriptor. This bonus increases to +2 at 9th
level, and to +3 at 15th level. Additionally, the firebug may use such spell-like abilities one additional time per day each.
This ability replaces trap sense.
