[QUOTE="Chronologist, post: 5017474, member: 81796"] Okay, I realize that some of these changes I suggested are a little strong, but I'm aiming at putting the ideas out there and cutting away until there's only a few adjustments left. Concerning Font of Inspiration, this update would nix it. My lv 4 character has it 3 times, and it makes him easily 3 times stronger (3 IP -> 9 IP). Again, this update would remove Font of Inspiration. I've already got a few Factotum feats lined up for later, but they're not ready yet. I'd also make Cunning Surge 1/round maximum, with a possible limit on the number of times per encounter you can use it (say, 1 time at 8th level, 2 times at 14th level, 3 times at 20th level). Anyway, my 5th suggestion (make cunning knowledge only add 1/2 factotum level to a skill check) actually reduces the Factotum's power. I'm just tired of having to track which skills I've used it on and which I haven't. Honestly, if everything here still seems too strong, I'd just like some class features to fill up all of those dead levels. Factotums aren't full casters, and al the non full-caster classes get new class features at every level. Why not the factotum? [/QUOTE]
