Archetypes and Prestige classes than increase class features

[folomo]

So, my question is: if an archetype replaces another class feature, does any prestige class that increases the class feature increase the archetype class feature?

For example, The 4 winds monk changes Stunning fist for an extra damaging elemental fist. The Prestige class Champion of Irori increases the stunning fist of a monk. Does this stack with the 4 winds monk archetype?
A lvl 3 monk of the four winds and lvl 7 Champion of Irori has a:
1) 3d6 elemental fist, as a lvl 10 monk of the four winds
2) 1d6 elental fist, as a lvl 3 monk of the four winds

If the PrC advances something the archetype you have replaced, then nothing happens.

Basically, they can't think for every single combination of archetype class and prestige class, so they didn't.

Agreed.. if you swap something out and then take a prestige class that improves something you no longer have, then.. maybe you should take a different prestige class.
