Antipaladin archetypes

Can an Antipaladin take Paladin archetypes? If so, which ones?


Ones they qualify for.

Which is none. The Warrior of the Holy Light is close, but it modifies an ability antipaladins do not have.


True.
I'd think a GM would be open to swapping logical AP class abilities, to change the archtype to fit, but there isn't any RAW ones.
Other than the one in Ultimate Combat...

This is because of identical abilities with different names?


I think yes, but controlled. If an archetype swap an ability for another that antipaladin have in a specular way (aura of courage / aura of despair) I think that you can take it.


and therein lies the question. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, but we call it a chicken can we use the eggs to make omelets for the family and not have them be suspicious?

Without looking I see no reason why they wouldn't correlate although I think it would have to be house ruled and therein you'd have to do the whole "get gm permission" thing. That and probably change a few names. Antipaladin warrior of holy light while having a nice ring to it doesn't really make a great deal of sense.


Fitting any paladin archetypes to work would be a Homebrew question, not a rules question :) The rules are quite clear.

So, Holy Gun antipaladin is a no go?


Unholy gun anti paladin, maybe.

I could easily see an Oath of Vengeance antipaladin.
