Favored class alternates for Sam and Nin


Rules Questions


Just wanted to get clarification now that ARG is out.

Samurai and Ninja are not listed for alternative bonuses as a favored class. As they are alternate classes for Cavalier and Rogue would that imply that a player with Samurai can take the Cavalier bonus (if available) and Ninjas can take Rogue bonuses if they favored these Eastern Flavored equivilants?

gourry187; You have the right of it. In short, an archetype is mechanically identical to an alternate class. A samurai can take cavalier favored class rewards and a ninja can use rogue archetypes that replace ninja class features.


Yep, alternative classes are just archetypes with a full write up.

It's best to not get too bogged down by it.


Certainly it would imply that.


No need for relying on implications...
