Archetypes and Prestige Classes (they’re feats now)
Archetypes are back in PF2, and they look awesome! As a lot of folks had predicted, instead of archetype features replacing class features, you take archetype feats in place of class feats. Each archetype has one “dedication feat” you have to take first, and once you’ve taken a dedication feat, you have to take a certain number of feats from that archetype before you can take the dedication feat for another archetype. It looks like any class can theoretically take any archetype, though prerequisites might make certain dedications easier for some classes to grab than others. Speaking of which, this mechanic also seems to be replacing prestige classes, which I think is a very smart move.
