Archetypes

Archetypes are essentially 'mini-classes' or 'subclasses' that lend feats and skills very similar to class skills, but are themed more specifically. So long as a character meets the prerequisites to an archetype they may invest in as many as they please, provided they have the archetype feats (I.E. skill points) to spare. Characters gain a single archetype feat whenever they would gain a class feat.

There is no functional difference between different types of archetypes, but for the sake of convenience they have been sorted here by general theme. Multiclass Archetypes grant you a limited subset of the abilities of another proper class. Martial archetypes focus on nonmagical specializations and talents, whereas Magical archetypes are the opposite, focusing on the supernatural and magical aspects of a character.
