Thats true. Almost everytime GM just wait until I announce my end turn because how varied the action cost are.

Now that I think of it, summoner can effectively get up to 6 actions per round with feats and/or summon spells.

Why do you consider summoner as complex class? Because in-play it is not really anymore complex than sorcerer or investigator.

You can still take a feat from your regular class at level 4, you don’t need to exclusively pick feats from your archetype once you have its dedication.

No. Feat from free archetype has to be from its dedication and it cannot be skill feat. And unless the GM says otherwise, normally level 4 dedication can’t be taken with free archetype at level 2 or 4 (level 6 is possible since in certain dedication you can get 2 feat in level 4).

If you don’t need specific optional rule then pathbuilder is best. But if you need something like no level proficiency then wanderersguide.
