Is it legal to combine archetypes for the same class?

What it says on the tin.

As far as I can tell its legal to combine archetypes from the same class, but I wanted others opinions. If someone from paizo could chime in that'd be much appreciated also.

Yes, so long as none of the archetypes replace the same features.

In many cases that's the deal breaker.

I beleive it says it is legal in the APG itself, as long as the two (or more?) archetypes you take do not 'cost' the same class features.

So if you played a fighter archetype, for example, that would trade out your armor trainging line, you could not also be another, different archetype that also trades out the armor training line, but you could be one that trades out the Weapon Training.

By all appearances you could take all of the magus archetypes without an issue. Though you'd have a black blade and be good with staff. If you could get the DM to
House rule that your "black blade" can be a quarterstaff hate be a really cool concept.

Or take prehensile hair for your hex let your hair hold the staff use the black blade with your main hand and the spell blade with your off hand.

The hair doesn't fight with the staff by the way -- it simply holds it to cast spells from it for you.

I wish to see this. It will complete me.

Note that this holds true even if they replace it with the same variant feature

For Fighter it looks like the only two Archtypes that can be combined (thus far), are Dawnflower Dervish (Qadira) and Savage Warrior according to this Fighter Archtype Matrix.

Looks like there are more archtypes you can combine with Barbarian according to this Barbarian Archtype Matrix.
