Elemental Ascetic and Expanded Defense

[Dragonborn3]

Just double checking this idea. Can an E. Ascetic take the Expanded Defense Utility Wild Talent? Rules as Written it can, but it pays to double check. They need something to make up for losing their initial defense(which is only terrible is you started as something other than Fire).

Well that is just terrible...

Well, it's a terrible archetype that utilizes a terrible Wild Talent.

Edit: this was not constructive to any conversation, but the ball was dropped on what should have been an awesome archetype.
