So if I'm reading this right quickened casting is a 10th level class feat that allows me to use one action to make my next spell cast one action shorter but not cost 0 actions. The only thing I can see this being useful for is to bank an action at the end of one turn to churn out an extra spell the next turn since it doesn't in any way reduce the total number of turns needed to cast the spell. If so it seems low yeild for so many extra restrictions put on it.

So I just started a new game with a new group. None of us knew what the others were going to play. I went with a healer/buffer type but being unfamiliar with the system chose Angelic Sorcerer. The other players went with a Animal instinct Barbarian, a bomber alchemist, and a leaf druid.

So we get to my problem. I can't compete with the druid with healing and I didn't realize how suck the divine spell list is for buffs/debuffs. Since I went in blind I took magic weapon which hits exactly 0 of my parties primary attacks. Luckily I have a good dex so I can enchant my own crossbow. I needed that since I can't buff or debuff I'm doing damage using my magic crossbow as my big damage spell is actually pretty good. I'm thinking of shifting to a magical archer type build and just start doing damage as my mainstay. Leaving the healing and buffing/debuffing to the druid and just try to augment the druid as a secondary on that front. The problem is I can't find anything to support this besides my magic weapon spell going forward though. So I either need help finding my path forward using this or maybe someone else has suggestions for other possible paths. I'm open to suggestions.

I have been away from Pathfinder a long time now. I enjoyed it's early days but then another system caught my and my groups eyes and well... There is no easy way to say it. We left for another system. It's not that we didn't love Pathfinder. We did and we still do it is just Pathfinder was more of the old comfortable relationships we had had with D&D without the baggage.

Anyway I may be having a new fling with a new Pathfinder group on a different day. We have that kind of openness. So as someone who bought to the early edition of Pathfinder and have up until Ultimate Magic in the way of books has there been anything I should pick up and catch up on? Or is this the same.
