One of my favorite things about Pathfinder has always been the archetypes. I love being able to trade out certain abilities in order to give my character more flavor, power, or at the very least make them more unique. However, even after all the books paizo has released, there are still some classes that are in DESPERATE need of more archetypes (at least in my opinion): Samurai, ninja, antipaladin, sorcerer, and witch (just to name a few), and I'm sure we would all certainly love to see more archetypes included for the classes in the Advanced Class Guide as well.
So tell me everyone, what do you think? What kind of archetypes would you like to see in the future? For me, I think I'm mostly looking forward to more Antipaladin (or even paladin) archetypes. Perhaps something that can turn you into a vampire (or maybe an archetype for a wizard/sorcerer/arcanist that turns you into a lich).
Perhaps a samurai archetypes that has access to ki, or an antipaladin archetype that sacrifices smite good for barbarian Rage.
Please feel free to post some of your thoughts/suggestions as well (and who knows, maybe paizo will consider the idea of printing this book somewhere down the road).

I think that would be neat maybe some house rules to update some archetypes that felt a bit weak like the Holy Gun. Maybe some thoughts and rules on developing archetypes for home-brew settings for world building enthusiasts. Maybe focus on some archetypes for the new classes or archetypes that can be applied to more then one class. I dunno seems like a great deal of interesting stuff could be done and I for one would certainly pay for a book that focuses on archetypes.
As for archetype I want to see the Fianna, want me my elite warrior poets of Irish folklore. We have vikings, swashbucklers and dozen other cultural and historical references kicking around can't hurt to add some more.
More hybrid archetypes, both old and new. The Swashbuckler Rogue should be rebuilt to have panache, and the Spirit Ranger to have shamanic powers. Then an inquisitor with Investigator talents and inspiration, or with Warpriest blessings and channeling... Mmm... maybe I should open a new thread to create these...

Personally there are a couple of things I'd like to see...
I think there is still a bit of flexibility with removing weapon & armor proficiencies
A sorcerer archetype that replaces the first bloodline power with arcane blast in place of the 1st level bloodline power
I’ve like to see an sorcerer that cannot have a bloodline and doubles their BAB from the sorc class, and can get spells from ANY list
A bard that gets rid or music all together
A wizard that can cast spells in armor like a bard
A cleric that can loose armor & shield prof to gain another domain
A bard that gets rid or music all together
I think this works pretty well for a music free Bard.
