Archetype Features Question

[DMO]

I've seen a bunch of "MoMS dip Brawler" builds. For an archetype, do the features that have been swapped in follow the same rules/restrictions for the features that have been swapped out?

Style Fusing replaces Flurry of Blows. You lose Flurry of Blows when wearing armor. Wouldn't you then lose Style Fusing when wearing armor as well? Still a useful dip for bonus feats and saves and other monk stuff, but could you still combine styles if you were wearing Brawling armor?

Thanks.

That's not how it works.

If it were, Armoured Hulk Barbarian wouldn't work.

No. MoMS styles are not bound by the rules of Flurry because Flurry is completely removed.

In the case of swapping abilities, you completely ignore the ability being replaced and only follow the rules for the new ability. Now, there are cases where existing abilities are modified. In those cases, you modify what it says to modify and you keep limits and abilities that are not mentioned in the archetype.
