On another site, a guy ha posted a guide for Zen Archer that basically states that all monks are Qinggong monks now and that a monk can be built using both archetypes. When I asked if that was legal under the rules, I was rebuffed by several people stating that since all of the abilitie4s of the Qinggong Monk were optional, that they did not fall under the rule prohibiting two archetypes if both of them targeted the same ability.

I originally was willing to accept this as correct, but the more I think about it I am thinking that it is not the case. Regardless of whether the ability is swapped out or not, is the ability still not targeted? If the answer to that is yes, then I do not see how both of those archetypes could ever possibly be taken together, as there are several levels where both archetypes target the same ability.

Opinions?

I am having a discussion with my GM about this. I am running an Alchemist that has taken his feral mutagen and gained a bite attack. We are in an encounter where we are facing a Wererat. Now, the rules for Lycenthrope specifically state that to infect someone with Lycanthropy, the lycanthrope has to bite his subject. Now, my question is what happens if my character with his bite attack bites the wererat? My GM is saying that I'd get the curse, I am thinking that the transferral of the curse is tied to him damaging me.

Opinions?
