Archetype stacking


Advice


Do sohei and MoMS stack? There are some abilities that are changed but not X'ed. How does that work? I am shooting for PFS not home brew.


Yes you can, none of their abilities remove the same one.


Remove or alter, not just remove. I'd have to check to make sure, but the alter part is pretty important.

Actually, Sohei and Master of Many Styles both alter the Monk's Bonus Feats class feature, so they don't technically stack.

**EDIT** I see Cheapy was on the same trail I was.


Both modify the bonus feats class feature. The do not stack.


MoMS replaces the bonus feats, and sohei adds to them. Still a no go?


Both modify it by RAW and they don't make canonical exceptions. If this isn't PFS, ask your GM but the rules are clear.

Scarab Sages

The rule is actually pretty straight forward. If two archetypes replace or alter the same class feature, they're incompatible.

You can't take any archetypes that both affect the same class feature in any way without making an exception to the rules.


Sohei modifies by adding feats to the bonus feat list.
MoMS replaces the bonus feats with a different set of bonus feats.

As Cheapy and Ssalarn said, you technically can't stack them because
"none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another alternate class feature".

However, since the Sohei modification is strictly additive, while it remains technically not allowed, I doubt it would be imbalanced or really problematic for a GM to allow it, and many GMs I know probably would allow it.
If you do choose to do this, however, you would need to work out whether the Sohei's feat list gets overwritten my the MoMS list, or if the Sohei list adds to the MoMS list.


I don't care for the mounted feats... But it is PFS, so I will ask, but not expect too much. Thanks a bunch guys.

Better to know now than be caught by surprise later, right?


True, true.

Grand Lodge

Wasn't there a thread that listed all the stackable archetypes?

Not looking to threadjack, but does anyone remember what archetype stacks with Titan Mauler?


That info would be great, BB!


Totem Warrior is the only ones on the PRD I see that stacks.

*I did not look at the race ones.

Totem Warrior is a ghost.

According to Devs, it doesn't exist, and never did.

See here.

Thanks much. Should this be added to the guide to the guides thread for ease of acces?
