Archetype Question


Rules Questions

Grand Lodge

Hey,

So just to make it easier for people I do understand how archetypes work but I'm looking at building a Druid using the Nature Fang archetype which removes the class ability, Venom Immunity, but when I was looking at Domains the Serpent Domain also modifies the ability, by replacing it and then altering it to start at a lower level.

So my question is, if this Domain replaces this ability, which has already been replaced due to the archetype would it still work?

I'm leaning towards no, because the ability has been removed due to the archetype and as per those rules you can't replace/modify something more than once.

Thanks in advance for the help.


Modified or no, the archetype applies. So the ability would be removed in it's entirety.

You won't be able to combine both features indeed.

Cool thanks that's what I thought

Why the heck does a domain replace a druid class feature?

ultimate magic alternate magic rules stuffs.

Are there any other domains that do that?

Sovereign Court

a whole list of them but they are druids specific:

the animal and terrain domains.

Only the badlands domain (which replaces Woodland Stride), actually. I'm familiar with animal and terrain domains, but the ones I'd looked at worked like normal domains and didn't replace features.

Also it says "Other nature-themed classes with access to domains may select an animal or terrain domain in place of a regular domain." though I'm not sure what would qualify as a nature-themed class with a domain unless your GM counts clerics & inquisitors of nature deities. (and presumably they couldn't take the badlands or serpent domains)
