[PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Welcome, welcome, to the Archetype Combo Guide. I'm rewriting this intro to be more relevant, now that it's complete in it's initial form. Let me lay out the rules of what to expect and then the lists.
Sources: Advanced Player's Guide, Pathfinder Society Field Guide, Ultimate Combat, Ultimate Magic
There are two special things to note:
Italics means the class feature is modified instead of replaced, though it still means it can't be replaced or modified a second time.
Striked Out Archetypes mean that, while possible, it's not recommended to combine these archetypes, due to trading class features that make combining them fairly useless, like Qinggong Martial Artists or Master Broodmasters.
I have no plans to further expand the list at the present time, though if others want to make their own assessments and additions, I will consider adding them to the Guide.
Without further ado, in alphabetical order:

As the title eludes to, PF d20 SRD's method isn't much better, at least for me, as keeping track of rows to compare what has what is a different kind of annoying.
Also, you're welcome. Any resource to reduce eye strain and referencing headaches is a good thing in my book.

Bard is rectified and Fighter is up, though that was lots of work with not much to show. Turns out there's exactly one Fighter Archetype that can combine with a select few others. I suppose I shouldn't be that surprised, as the only things to trade are Weapon and Armor Training, basically.
I may or may not update tomorrow, as I'll be at my local PFS game day for most of Saturday. We'll see, though...

Re: [PF] Archetype Combos: Doing all the work b/c reading charts is bloody annoying
Gunslinger and Inquisitor are up, Magus and Monk tomorrow. I've done Gunslinger as how the Archetypes likely work (a.k.a. Pistolero replaces Gun Training).

Yeah...weird combination, I know, as I see Gun Tanks as being more muskety but Gun Tank and Musket Master both replace Gunslinger's Dodge. No dwarven Musket Tanks, though you can still dip out to Bounty Hunter Ranger or Grit Rogue to pick up extra deeds.
