Bard Archetypes make me sad


Advice


So archtypes.. The rules of them say

Quote:
A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the core class as another alternate class feature.

So every archtype modifies a bunch of stuff its pretty hard to figure out which archtypes actually stack if any other than the one suggested one for palidins.

Every bard one modifies either bardic knowledge and/or inspire courage. So many things are modified throughout a bards class.. That I fear none of them are capable of stacking.

Now beyond that, here is one question.. What are archtypes for any class that do stack?


There are quite few. I went through the Ranger, Barbarian, Monk so far and found several.

Like the following monk is possible, Drunken, 4 winds, Sacred Mountain can all stack together as they modify different monk abilities. That the thing about the monk though, they have so many class feature that this is possible. You just have to go through the pain of discovering the possibilities and some just don't make sense.

Liberty's Edge

Everything but the Archivist and Savage Skald replaces Bardic Knowledge, and those two don't stack with each other, and Archivist winds up not stacking with anything either. So the only working combinations I could find are as follows:

Detective/Savage Skald
Savage Skald/Street Performer

Either of which could be amusing, if hard to justify.


The barb seems to be the easiest to combine archtypes since each archtype only replaces/modifies a very limited number of things.

Any of them with Totem Warrior
Puglist/Drunken Brute
Invulnerable Rage/Drunken brute
Savagage/Drunken
Superstitious/Drunken
Elemental/Drunken

Then go back through them again and replace druken with hurler.

Savange and Mounted fury
Superstitious and Mounted fury
Elemental king and Mounted fury

For ranger..
Beastmaster/infiltrator

Urban.. and Beastmaster or shape shifter..

Anywith skirmisher..
