Archaeologist
Source Player Core 2 pg. 184Adventurers raid tombs for material gain, but true archaeologists treasure the knowledge attained from such sites. You might accomplish your goals with scholarly learning, by training to overcome the tricks and traps set by ancient peoples and rivals, through magical training, or even with a bit of inexplicable luck. Many archaeologists practice a combination of all these approaches. Regardless of method, all archaeologists possess a deep desire to learn more about sapient history and prehistory. Adventuring through tombs, dodging traps, and studying magic are all means to better understand ancient sites, analyze artifacts, and decipher the meaning of any remains that can be found from previous inhabitants. You decide how you will uncover the secrets of the past and what to do with the answers you find.
Additional Feats
Source Player Core pg. 215 2.0Some archetypes include a list of “Additional Feats” that appear in other sources. The list includes each feat’s level, which might be different than normal when gained from the archetype. You can take the feat as an archetype feat of that level, meaning it counts toward the number of feats required by the archetype’s dedication feat. When selected this way, a feat that normally has a class’s trait (such as the fighter trait) doesn’t have that class trait.
