Savage Barbarian: At 7th level, the savage barbarian gains a +1 natural armor bonus to AC when wearing no armor (shields are allowed). This bonus increases by +1 for every three levels beyond 7th.
This ability replaces damage reduction.
Mad Dog: At 10th level, a mad dog gains damage reduction. At 13th level and every 3 barbarian levels thereafter, this damage reduction rises by 1, to a maximum of DR 4/— at 19th level. A mad dog's war beast gains the same damage reduction as the mad dog.
So my question is that since Mad Dog does not in fact state "replaces" or "alters" like most archetypes in how or when you get it, does it mean that...
1) The barbarian at 7th level loses DR for Nat Armor, then at 10th level the barbarian [u]gains[/u] DR for himself and his companion.
2) No the archetype combination is illegal and it simply needs a FAQ to errata a mistake that was made when making the archetype.
As for why the question, I'm brewing up a new barbarian since my previous barbarian got one shotted by a crit.
