Multiple Archetypes

[SamuraiZero]

I was just curious about the legality of a multi-archetype character. I've seen players do it, but I'm not sure if the DM's are allowing it, or if it's legitimately legal. What I was thinking of making was a Bladebound Kensai (Magus), I felt like the two went hand in hand with each other perfectly.

The rule on archetypes from a class is that no two archetypes can replace or modify the same class feature. Let me check on the Magus.

Edit: The pathfinder SRD has a nifty table for each class.

For the Magus, Bladebound modifies Arcane Pool and the Arcana at 3d level. Kensai modifies several items but not those two, so they work together.

You can combine different archetypes

A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the base class as another alternate class feature. For example, a fighter could not be both an armor master and a brawler, since both archetypes replace the weapon training 1 class feature with something different.

So Bladebound Kensai (nice combo btw) works fine but you can't combine Bladebound and Staff Magus

Thanks guys!
