Ranger Infiltrator + Other Archetype

[Amuny]

Question asked by my player I killed tonight in order to create a new character... :p

It's clear you can't take two archetypes if they changes the same ability since it would enter in conflict. But what is the other ability is not changed, but just "dependant" from another?

As example here, Ranger Infiltrator.

At 3rd level, an infiltrator learns how to copy the unusual abilities of his prey. He chooses one type of creature he has selected as a favored enemy,

So, the Infiltrator does not alter in any way the Favored Enemy class feature.

So I could, RAW, take Guide as second Archetype. But Guide removes Favored Enemy. Therefore... what happens to my infiltrator ability?

By pure logic, I'd say it doesn't work, but I'd be curious to ear what you think about this.

If you don't have any favored enemies, you have nothing to copy. So, it'd be a worthless ability for you.

RAW bad luck unless you multiclass as something that gets an favored enemy.
This is what kept me from building such a pc.

In my home game I'd let a player just chose a race for which he can take his infiltrator ability.
