Understanding Archetypes?


Advice


How do you know which archetypes don't overlap each other?

The only one I'm familiar with is the rogue archetypes. I'm trying to figure out the monk archetypes work and I'm not certain...

Can the Flowing Monk and Martial Artist intertwine with each other?


Uhh, I think you have to look at what things they replace. Like, alright, say you've got the Rogue, and one of his abilities is Trapsense, or whatever it is. If two Archetypes both replace the same Trapsense ability, they can't be used in conjunction with each other.

Vamptastic is correct. Not sure what books those two archetypes are in and you haven't linked them from the PRD to help us help you :)


Vamptastic has it. Look at the class features they replace or modify; if any of them are the same, you can't combine those archetypes.

Edit:
Both archetypes change Diamond Body, so no go.

They're both from Ultimate Combat, and both replace Purity of Body, so no, you can't take both.

EDIT: Ninja'd.


Oh my god, I'm correct in something and I didn't derail a thread with a joke.

I feel dirty.

Actually Vamp, this is a good look for you.


*bows* Thank you, all.


One exception specific to the monk that you might want to be aware of is qinggong monk.

With a qinggong monk, you can choose whether or not you replace a class feature, so it's an option with virtually every other archetype for monk.

Here's a better explanation:Qinggong Monk

Thanks for the link there, I was about to ask if there were any fighter archetypes that could possibly combine.

It would be really nice to see that updated with all the various archetypes from the setting books.
