Specifically the ones that replace Trapfinding and Trap Sense. My friend and I are having a very heated debate about this.

If the archetype would replace an ability that an alternate class does not have, it cannot take the archetype. Your dm might be willing to make some kind of adjustment, but by raw this is not an option.
Alright, thanks a bunch.
I'm pretty sure you can take archetypes where you get the same abilities at the same level - so you could have a Ninja Scout, for example, since the Scout abilities replace Uncanny Dodge and Improved Uncanny Dodge.
Last I checked, the Ninja was already an archetype of the rogue. You can only take two archetypes as long as they dont replace the same ability.
you really don't have a limit on how many archtypes you can take. but the above advice applies otherwise. you can take new archtypes until the cows come home as long as no two replace the exact same ability.
Sounds like you are trying to compensate for the same reason as the Ninja I just made and going to be using this weekend. For something a little more offical you might just take a dip in Ranger that has the Trapper Archetype. You get trapfinding for free at level one then with that ranger archetype.
