Spellcasting archetypes always grant the ability to cast cantrips in their dedication, and then they have a basic spellcasting feat, an expert spellcasting feat, and a master spellcasting feat. These feats share their name with the archetype; for instance, the witch’s master spellcasting feat is called Master Witch Spellcasting. All spell slots you gain from spellcasting archetypes are subject to the restrictions within the archetype. For instance, the eldritch archer archetype allows you to pick a spell list when you take its dedication feat. If you pick arcane spells, the archetype then grants you spell slots you can use only to cast arcane spells from your eldritch archer repertoire, even if you are a sorcerer with occult spells in your sorcerer repertoire.
The highlighted part is the possible errata.
It seems that this portion of the sentence needs to be rewritten, for clarity.
The only situation this would apply is if you were a noncaster who took eldritch archer dedication then took the sorcerer deication.
If you are already a sorcerer, then your eldritch archer dedication tradition is going to be the same as your sorcerer dedication after all.
Yeah, using Eldritch Archer as an example was probably a bad idea.
But then again, the spellcasting of that Archetype is a big mess in general. This is just one more reason it needs to be rewritten.

Indeed!

It look like we'll be getting the errata today!
Update: I am happy to be wrong. The APG errata should post today! There was a goblin/kobold/ysoki incident, but it is managed now. :)So, ... how's the port situation?Any update on when print copies will be back in stock? (Related: what's the deal with that errata? I imagine it will come at the same time as restocks)#Soon? All sorts of things are stuck in ports. The reprint of the APG is not yet in the warehouse, as of the last report. Thus the unavailable status. When it is and when we are shipping it, we will release the errata on the FAQ's page. (We have to make sure all our license partners get the errata too.) I'm just waiting on the green light from the warehouse to say they are here and I can promote them.Good new/bad news. My understanding is that we are selling the second printing of the Pathfinder Advanced Player's Guide from our warehouse and have been for some time. The PDF and FAQs still need to be updated, but we have the teams working on these. We do not have a precise timeline to share. The PDF should be "soon." But because we are 1 person down in Design, I think the FAQ update will not be soon. Sorry for that. Having the correct games rules are important, we know that.
I only know what the headlines say. China's lockdowns are adding to the supply chain chaos. I do not have specifics about how that is effecting Paizo new releases. We are taking it week by week, month by month. Thanks for your patience and patronage.
