Alternate class question

[Flashohol]

Can a character with an alternate class take the favored class options for their core class from the APG?

Example
Half-Elf ninja and the 1/2 to feint and gather information checks for the rogue option.

Raw no, but I would allow it no questions asked.

The devs have said in several threads that they intended the alternate classes to just be expanded archetypes, and that you can in fact take rogue archetypes for the ninja as long as you are replacing abilities that that ninja class has. For example: the Ninja can take the Burglar or Scout archetypes, because the archetype's abilities replace [Improved] Uncanny Dodge, which the ninja gets at the same level as a rogue.

Based on this, I would say it's definitely the intent of the creators that you should be able to do this. It has not been FAQ'd to be allowed though, technically. If I was your DM, I'd definitely allow it, but for PFS, no dice.

Alternate Classes are just glorified archetypes.
