I've heard it said that you can apply base class archetypes to variant classes.

A ninja could take the rogue's scout archetype for example.

However, I see no evidence or rules to support this anywhere. Where is this coming from? Did I overlook something? Or is it just wishful thinking on the parts of others?

I had a post here about this topic, but it never really took off.


Jason's explanations of the difference between alternate classes and archetypes really makes me wonder why the Synthesist wasn't a full alternate class.
