Enjoy!Edit: Oh, a useful application of the rotating feat is to emulate the coveted "Craft Construct" feat, since Artificer doesn't naturally get that.  Build your own army for extra Pwnage.  Another creative application is the "Craft Portal" feat, if you have 100 days and 100,000gp to spend, you can create permanent doorways across reality.  Much fun.other useful PrC dips for the Factotum are: -Mindbender, 1 level dip, to gain Telepathy and than take the Mindsight feat, to "see" every creature with an Int of at least 1, know it's intelligence score and it's creature type.  And telepathically talk to people.-Exemplar, one or more levels, to gain amazing increases to your skill checks.  For a single level dip, you gain a +4 to one skill you have at least 13 ranks in (UMD!), and select a number of skills equal to 1+your Int Mod (which should be high) to be able to take 10's in skill checks regardless of conditions.  <a href="http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=2720.0" target="_blank">Factotum Handbook</a><a href="http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19871722/The_Factotum_Handbook" target="_blank">Another Factotum Handbook</a></blockquote>
