Cunning strike does not, by RAW, stack with itself, and even if you rule that it does, you’ll burn a ton of Inspiration Points that way. Able Learner, of course, is completely pointless to you. It’s still a great feat, but you may need those feats more badly for something else. You have tons of class features, and with twenty levels, you do not need Font of Inspiration so much. It is totally viable to take 20 levels of it. Twenty-level Marathonįactotum is a great class. If you are only going for factotum 8th, you’re going to want a lot of this feat.Īble Learner is a bit more debatable for a factotum 8th-at this point, you should have the 5 or 8 ranks you probably want for some of the more obscure skills, so you probably won’t need cross-class skills from wherever you go next, or might do better with other ways of getting them in-class, that have other side-benefits. The answer here is Font of Inspiration, a feat that can be taken repeatedly, and grants inspiration points quadratically with respect to the number of times you take it. The problem is that cunning surge requires a lot of inspiration points (and at this point, it’s not the only thing you’ll want them for). It also allows great use of spells and other features.
Combine it with hustle, and you could get two full-attacks in a single turn, a feature usually reserved for high-level martial initiators ( time stands still is the 9th-level Diamond Mind maneuver, island in time is the capstone of the eternal blade prestige class). The ability to get an extra standard action in a turn is very rare, and for very good reason. Eight-level SwimĬunning surge (factotum 8th) is one of the best class features in the game. You have a little bit more use for your inspiration points, but nothing huge. That’s a lot of skills, and furthermore initiative is explicitly a Dexterity check, which means you get to add Int to that, too. Three-level Splashįactotum 3rd gets you brains over brawn, which adds Int to all Str-or-Dex-based skill and ability checks. You’ll barely use inspiration points, so don’t worry about them. This is not a terrible use of a level and a feat. If you have the human subtype, the Able Learner feat ( Races of Destiny) allows you to buy cross-class skills for 1 skill point per rank, like class skills, which means that a factotum 1st with Able Learner can treat every skill in the game as a class skill for his entire career. For the purposes of max skill ranks, once a class skill means always a class skill, so if you have factotum 1st, you can max out any skill in the game. One-level Dipīasically, you’re doing this for the “all skills are class skills” thing. It’s also, hands-down, the best “other class” in a Gestalt game. How Many Levels?įactotum is most useful for 1, 3, 8, or 20 levels. Finally, other options for multiclassing on a factotum 8th are discussed at length. It then covers a bunch of feats that many factota find useful. This answer begins with a discussion of the four main options for factotum levels: 1, 3, 8, and 20. This is all discussed at length at the end of this answer. Dips in the above classes also work well. Possibly with dips in cleric, shadowdancer, or swashbuckler to taste. Iaijutsu Master,* for rather considerable damage output. The best options for this seem to be:Īrdent, psychic warrior, or war mind-for hustle, and general awesomenessĪssassin, for Int-synergy, spells to use with cunning surge, and good damage bonuses.Ī martial adept, pact magic, or incarnum class, since these systems just multiclass elegantly.Ĭhameleon, for increased versatility, but note that Chameleon and Factotum conflict more than they synergize. The tricky part is factotum 8th, to take advantage of cunning surge on some other type of character. Factotum 20th is pretty straightforward, and works well. Factotum 1st or 3rd can be added to a lot of builds. The basic premise is, factota generally come in 1, 3, 8, or 20 levels. This answer basically covers a lot of potential options for factota, not all of which are even that good.
