[QUOTE="Buugipopuu, post: 5784982, member: 41173"] I assume you're going to add prerequisites and full write-ups, so I won't bother with that. Wording needs tightening up in general (Arcane Master seems exploitable with things like 1/year Wish, since it doesn't specify Factotum SLAs, for instance.) Mind over Body sounds Divine. Given that Int to Saves as a typed bonus is Divine, Int to HP and Con-based Skill Checks as an untyped bonus really shouldn't be an Epic Feat. Two base stats to HP at once isn't something any other class gets, so I'd be wary about it. If you really want to make it a feat, it'd need to replace Con, not stack with it. Greater Cunning Breach should be Divine at least, and would probably still need toning down. It can replicated Heavy Eradication a limited number of times per encounter, so on that alone it should be Divine. And cross-portfolio immunity penetration is very powerful on its own. There are some no-save abilities out there that are only acceptable because it's so easy to be immune to them. Irresistible Dance, for instance. You need to take a double portfolio to get 100% penetration, so anything that lets you penetrate any immunity will need to be expensive (since I presume any Deity-level Factotum has so many inspiration points that he'll basically never run out if he spends them wisely). Greater Cunning Brilliance could be renamed "Loyal Beyond Death", since, well, it makes you invincible. And you don't even get the Knight's code of conduct or have to take 20 levels in a sub-par class. The level restriction was intended to prevent people from getting hold of capstones, I guess. If you want a Greater Cunning Brilliance feat, it should probably allow PrCs, rather than any-level abilities. But restricted to any feature gained at levels other than the final level of said PrC. And is less exploitable, because at least Frenzy and Deathless Frenzy are different named abilities, and Deathless Frenzy does nothing on its own. [/QUOTE]
