Ok, I'm pretty sure I know the RAW on this one, but I was wondering if you could have a Heretic/Sanctified Slayer Inquisitor? The problem comes from Sanctified Slayer replacing Judgement 1/day and Heretic adding an additional option to said Judgement.
Obviously, even if combined the Heretic would lose that option. I was wondering if there were any applicable rulings via combined archetypes for Magus Arcana or Bardic Performances that might shed light on an official ruling, as flavorwise this would be awesome.

I think it would stack. The Heretic Judgment doesn't actually say it modifies the Judgment ability, even though it adds an option. I would think of it more as an expanded option for Judgment without directly modifying it.

Of course, that's not very RAW, but I don't think there is a clear RAW either.


They don't stack since Sactified Slayer replaces Judgment and Heretic alters it. Adding an option still alters a class feature.

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 core class as another alternate class feature.

See the FAQ on Qinggong Monk--if it "may" be taken and the option is replaced, the player simply gives up the "may" at that given level.
