You are a bastard of not just some fief, and your damn proud of it.

Prerequisites: None

Benefit: You receive proficiency with the longsword, bastard sword and the lance. Add these weapons to your racial weapon list and grant those the same racial bonuses other melee weapons receive. Do not grant them bonuses that depend on weapon qualities that these weapons do not possess, e.g., when your race would grant all reach weapons +1.5m range, you only grant that ability to the lance. Bastard swords, and longswords become fencing and finesse weapons. You deal +1 point of heavy damage with swords and lances.

You may forfeit any other racial weapon bonuses to gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls with the any swords and the lance.

If you have poor base attack bonus it increases to moderate when using the weapons mentioned above.

Finally, diplomacy becomes a class skill and you receive +2 on diplomacy and intimidate checks with commoners.
