Replace a Primary Custom Ability

[radionausea]

Hi there,

I've been trying to replace Primary Custom Abilities in some archetypes and can't get a handle on it.

In one case (Celestial Commander archetype for the Summoner) it gains a domain but loses access to Aspects (it doesn't have an eidolon). I can make domains selectable but all the Aspect choices are selectable too.

I also want to make an archetype for the Warpriest that allows one domain rather than two blessings. In this case, instead of being given access to one domain and all the blessings still being selectable as with the Celestial Commander, I instead can choose a total of three domains despite custom modified ability being set to one.

Is there an easy way to do this? It seems like there is with the options of 'remove custom abilities', 'limit to archetype marked abilities' but I think I've tried most combinations and can't get it to work.

There are no automated mechanisms for what you're trying to do. When we've written archetypes, we make sure not to re-use the tables we've had to suppress - we use new tables for the new abilities. You'll need an eval script that overwrites the normal expression in order to accomplish this.
