Would anyone see a problem in allowing a player taking the Negotiator archetype for the Bard to pick from the Unchained Rogue's Talents and Advanced Talents?
Fairly simple question, though one I expect a few different answers. By RAW, perhaps not, though I am mainly asking if there would be a reason for a GM not to allow it even if it wouldn't normally be allowed by RAW. Though I also suspect that the rules not not be as cut and dry on such a detail, maybe though it is. I do believe that the answer could more readily be yes if the Rogue is outright replaced by the Unchained variant.
Oh, and the same question involving asked but involving the Archaeologist Bard.

I'm not familiar with this particular archetype, but for my house rules I'd allow it on a case by case basis. If the character concept the PC is going for necessitates using an archetype that normally be barred from because of RAW, like a racial archetype from the ARG for example*, you can use it. I've even taken it further and included class features, within reason, though none of my players took me up on that.
*I have a primary supporting NPC that uses an archetype belonging to another race, but since it contained class features that really didn't feel tied down to that concept, I took it. In fairness, I gave the option to my players should they ever want it, provided I signed off on it.
The Unchained Rogue is just an outright replacement for the regular Rogue; it just adds additional class features and increases the value of some Rogue Talents. I wouldn't wish original Minor Magic on anyone.
