For party buffing and healing, your highest priority is the infusion discovery. After that is the healing bomb and then precise bomb discoveries. You should be able to use your discoveries for healing and buffing purposes, and your feats for crafting. Be aware that there is some confusion in the rulings as to whether an alchemist would qualify as a spellcaster for the purposes of crafting magic items. You will want to clarify with you DM before investing too much in magic item crafting.

The rogue aspect sounds interesting. Do you think there's a case to be made for an alchemist to utilize guns or hand crossbow. I plan to dump most of my money into research and "develop" new potions and crafting magic items.

I'm not sure why I'm having so much trouble with this character build. I want to create an human alchemist. She is not going to be going Hyde or dedicated bomber; but I'm thinking more of a party buffer and support fire. I have the character's history worked out pretty extensively but just can't seem to fit her into the various builds I see online. Her nickname is Bubbles, due to her thesis on "Volatile Compound Dispersion Utilizing Equalized Surface Tension and Theoretical Delivery Models". She was derisively nicknamed by her fellow students. I really want her to be able to buff the party in support, but I also would like her to be able to craft magical items. Especially in her profession of glass blower. My problem is planning out the various skills and traits to make a viable support character AND crafter. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
