So I have a player running a bloodrager cha 12 he bought Elemental Affinity(earth) with his Race points. He believes it grants him the ability to cast 4th level spells, but I'm not so sure. Anyone know an official ruling on this?

I am playing a gnome pyromaniac alchemist in a campaign and find the entire extract system takes up most of combat in addition to being pointless when I'm done cause I am out of them after one fight. I know the easy fix is use less but i don't like using my character to a minimum of its potential. Got the Secrets of the Alchemist book but it still leaves me angry most of my stuff lasts 5 rounds-5 min completely useless for combat heavy days.

I currently use a combination of Dex Mutagen, Reduce Self, and Shield. Occasionally i put fox's cunning in the mix. Don't get why no mage armor to me physical armor is useless.
