Spiritualist archetype stacking question


Rules Questions


So I'm exploring creating a Phantom Blade/Fractured Mind spiritualist. I want to make a gnome and focus more on charisma then wisdom. I love the theme of Phantom blade, and the idea that I'll pretty much never be caught with my pants down in regards to not having a weapon.

But Phantom Blade is a little weird when it comes to rules. It doesn't say anything about getting rid of a phantoms emotional focus, and I can assume it doesn't have one or get one. And while looking at the requirements for both archetypes nothing overlaps so it should be viable, I'm thinking since Fractured Mind needs an emotional focus to pick spells and such maybe they aren't compatible.

A phantom blade doesn't have a phantom, and it's the phantom that has the emotional focus, not the spiritualist. A fractured mind gains abilities based on their phantom's emotional focus; no phantom, no abilities. You can technically take them together, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Dang. I guess I thought that too but was hoping for a different answer. That's annoying.
