To break into this with some different thoughts. My recommendation is to NOT go with Feats or Archetypes. Instead use a Configurable and either Custom Abilities or Racial Custom Abilities. Bootstrap the Configurable to a new Birthright mechanic.

This allows for a "new" tab to appear when a person turns on Birthright. This new tab would have the ability to add Custom Abilities tied to the configurable. This way you don't have to worry about class specific archetypes or "new" feats showing up.

In addition each Custom Ability can have Pre-Req scripts to check for "race, class, deity, alignment, etc.". This gives you lots of flexibility without having to duplicate so much work for "each" class.

For something like this look at Eberron Campaign Setting in the community Pack. Specifically look at the "Region of Origin" tab.

HERE
is a link to the configurable on GitHub.

HERE
is where it is bootstrapped to the mechanic.

To see this in use you can install the community Pack and turn on the "Eberron Campaign Setting" and turn off "Hide Region of Origin". You will see the new tab appear which is the Configurable.
