[PF] alternate classes

[geekintheground]

can an alternate class (ninja, antipaladin, samurai) use an archtype from the original class (rogue, paladin, cavalier respectively)?
for example, could i make a knife master ninja?

Yes, as long as you have the class features that are supposed to be replaced, you can take the archetype.

thanks, and sorry. this should have been in the RAW thread at the top. i always forget its there :smallredface::smalleek:

[Keneth]

I suppose you could have, yes. Unless you were expecting a conversation on the matter. :smalltongue:

Yes, as long as you have the class features that are supposed to be replaced, you can take the archetype.

Since the Ninja doesn't have Trapfinding/Trap Sense, no, you can't be a Knife Master Ninja. If you really wanna play one though then suggest to your DM giving up Poison Use and No Trace instead of Trapfinding/Trap Sense.

i'll ask, thank you!

oh man, samurai is bitchin! i played it we just called it "knight" instead. the resolve ability is amazing especially at level 9 added on to having a druid pet is just awesome. i got to level 10 and it just played so well. i was a dwarf that used his mount to get into combat, ride check to get down and then flank and bash, or i just went normal mounted combat challenged and charged!
