Kafkonia said:I believe the Factotum is better than the Expert in every way -- you get all skills as class skills and a bunch of neato abilities, rather than just "pick 10 skills as class skills", so from an optimization standpoint you'd be better off taking that one.
Have looked at the factotum: you are right. i will see how the DM is defining "encounter" for the purpose of the factotum's per-encounter abilities...
