Was there any final confirmation on if Alternate Classes can take archetypes from their original class?
For instance, a Beast Rider Cavalier gives up Heavy Armor and Trades in his mount, two things a samurai would still have to trade in.
I saw some dispute about this in here, but most of it was pretty old.
Let me know.
As it is the same class, if it has an unmodified feature that the archetype swaps, it can take it. However if it does not have those features or if they have been changed already it can not.
Beast Rider samurai should be valid.
You must be right. Hooray!
