The downside is that it's very easy for the counter-archetypal character to become the norm. That is legitimate cost to be concerned with; classic archetypes should be well supported.It's possible that the high opportunity cost of feats/themes or multiclassing will still make the classic archetype viable. Two cantrips is a lot to give up for armor.2) There's a theme that allows for arcane casters in armor.I like this one better for a few reasons. First, DM's that want a more classic feel can ban one (or a class of) theme(s). That's less clunky than reworking the armor proficiency rules for a narrow case.Second, the theme can be made to "patch" the problems with multiclass wizard/X's, so you can have a ready made and easy to apply solution for gish's, arcane archers, etc.</blockquote>
