Some archetypes make major changes to a core ability of the class; but DON'T call out every later ability that is related - does that mean it DOESN'T modify those, or should the "similar modifications" be assumed?
For example, the "Picaroon" archetype of the Swashbuckler modifies the core mechanic of the Swashbuckler to include the use of one-handed firearms in addition to light-or-one-handed-piercing melee weapons. It calls out specifically the weapon proficiencies, panache modification, and Two-Weapon Finesse; but doesn't mention any of the other Swashbuckler abilities.
Should it be assumed that any other Swashbuckler abilities apply to one-handed firearms, too? (For example, the "Menacing Swordplay" ability - since that is based on a Gunslinger ability as it is...) The only ones specifically called out are the ones that make notable changes to the stock Swashbuckler ability. (For example, the Superior Feint to Gun Feint calls it out specifically, because it actually modifies the core mechanic of the Feint - from being a standard action to being one attack as part of a full attack action.)
