Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Finally have time to sit down and check and you are indeed correct. Let me fix those.
As for future content, I have been thinking that I may have some time soon and I've been itching to get back to this handbook, so, while I can't promise deadlines, since I keep missing those in other personal projects, I may be able to get back on this.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Not sure if I am allowed to post here but. Pistolero does not Replace Gun Training. So you get Gun Training + Pistol Training at fifth level meaning you ad Dex x2 to damage of your pistol shots.

I have used it with a Mysterious Stranger and Pistolero Build and I was doing great damage it at least made being a gunslinger useful damage wise.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Errata is produced when a book is reprinted. Ultimate Combat has yet to be reprinted, hence, no errata.
The closest we've got to a ruling on the subject is JB saying it probably shouldn't work that way.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
I am sure it was intended to be that way. But it is not like it is breaking the game to add Dex twice to damage, even if you tag on Charisma with Mysterious Strange at most if you had 18 in both scores you are dealing 12+1d8 damage at 5 on. Of course adding other things like Deadly Aim, Point Blank Shot, and Weapon Focus did do a little better to make it hit harder and more often but that can be said of any work up with feats.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
One of the driving factors in favor of "replaces Gun Training" is the wording.
Gun Training:
"She gains a bonus equal to her Dexterity modifier on damage rolls when firing that type of firearm. Furthermore, when she misfires with that type of firearm, the misfire value of that firearm increases by 2 instead of 4."
Pistol Training:
" She gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to her Dexterity modifier, and when she misfires with a one-handed firearm, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4."
Also, compare Pistol Training to Musket Training which DOES replace Gun Training:
(hint: if you remove the word "two" it becomes IDENTICAL to Pistol Training)
"Starting at 5th level, a musket master increases her skill with two-handed firearms. She gains a bonus on damage rolls equal to her Dexterity modifier, and when she misfires with a two-handed firearm, the misfire value increases by 2 instead of 4. Every four levels thereafter (9th, 13th, and 17th), the bonus on damage rolls increases by +1. At 13th level, a musket master never misfires with a two-handed firearm."
Good for you and all for getting your DM to let you have both.
But the intent is clearly in favor of "Replaces Gun Training".

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Why is the only question I can think of.
If it is indeed identical to in text and intent.. why change it at all? The name? Its Gun Training.. its generic enough to be used by any gun users period. So why replace the entire feature with one that does the Exact same just with a slightly different name.
Any precedents on that? [I would like to say I completely agree with you it probably does]

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
The idea is that the pistolero, as JB said, should focus on pistols. If he is just as good with every other gun as a regular gunslinger and only happens to be even more awesomer with pistols then there's no tradeoff there.
Until there's a FAQ or errata it is what it is, but that doesn't make it right.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Cieyrin, if I could ask you to do me a huge favor, do you think you could include some of the third party archetypes, as well? The ones from Dreamscarred Press especially seem to be growing in popularity, at least as far as I've seen.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
I can do the DSP stuff - I already did the Soulknife archetype combos in my handbook (and even borrowed Cieyrin's format.) When Ultimate Psionics comes out I'll do the others.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
First set of contributions are in, Dwarven archetypes along with the Iconoclast Inquisitor archetype that I somehow missed out of UC. I also decided to standardize the ordering of class features replaced for easier comparison, as well as remove the struck out not recommended archetype designation, as I think that's outside the realm of what I meant this guide for. I put in 2 new designations, the first of which is (Paranthesed), which designates racial restrictions on archetypes.
The second may be slightly controversial, which is Underlined, which designates features that were meant to be replaced but got left off or typo'd. Not all of these are FAQ'd or errata'd (like Pistolero's Pistol Training or the Oath of Loyalty), so getting opinions on these changes may be of help. The sections that have thus far been edited with these changes are Inquisitor and Paladin, since that's where the Dwarf archetypes were. As I work further in (and recreate my notes, since the computer that had them died several months ago. ), they should become more prevalent.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Oh believe me, you have all the permissions
I only see underlines in the Paladin section?
Note that just because a new ability is granted at X level it doesn't necessarily replace what you get at that level. For instance, the reverse - Menhir Savant replaces the Druid 2nd-level ability but gives them nothing in return IIRC.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
I didn't recall whether any occurred in Inquisitor, I just know many of its archetypes interchange between Final and True Judgement, only one of which exists. I didn't indicate that in the handbook, though. The other sections that saw change were Cleric and Fighter, which don't, at least with what data I currently have, stack with each other, so there isn't a useful way to display it other than to list them out and say how they don't stack with anything else.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Note that Crossblooded and Wildblooded no longer stack (though they emphasize that the DM can override this if it's not gamebreaking.)

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
The tiefling-only Fiend Flayer archetype does not conflict with any other Magus archetypes, because it only gives a lame sacrifice ability and some options. It doesn't replace anything.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Hmm, interesting development, that.
It doesn't appear to, no. Fiendblades seem a way to get 2 customized magic weapons on a Magus, which is kinda interesting, maybe.
Gnome archetypes, as well as updating Alchemist, Bard and Gunslinger sections, are all in. Alchemist and Bard in particular should be a bit easier to navigate now, with the class features standardized in order and, for Bards, the replaced Bardic Performances all in the same section.
Sections updated: Alchemist, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Gunslinger, Inquisitor, Magus, Oracle, Paladin, Wizard.
Sections Remaining: Barbarian, Cavalier(Samurai), Monk, Ranger, Rogue(Ninja), Sorcerer, Summoner, WitchLast edited by Cieyrin; 2013-11-10 at 05:03 PM.

Also, I say the Fiend Flayer's ability to take Con damage for arcane points is bad, but its free, so I would still take it.

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Half-Elf archetypes in, as well as Ranger, Summoner and Witch sections updated. I changed my mind again on the working of Broodmaster to a compromise, where it alters the Eidolon ability. This means no more Master Broodmasters (like anyone did that) but also makes it consistent so there were no Brood Synthesists, either, which my guide was suggesting was possible, if slightly. This also means that Broodmasters can be Evolutionists, at least for now. Feel free to weigh in on multi-archetyped Broodmasters, though I still think Broodmasters are subpar and should have been designed like how the other multi-companion archetypes (Beastmaster Ranger, Packlord Druid, etc) were designed instead of the mess they chose.

For a second I thought you said Broodmaster Synthesists! That would be cool though, having different forms to assume.
