If you'd replace the Factotum's Arcane Dillettante class feature with a Divine Dillettante equivalent, which allows the exact same abilities but draws the spells from the cleric list (exclduing all domain-specific spells, or something like "all divine spells", it explicitly only means the core spell list) instead of the sorc/wiz spell list, what would be the worst that could happen?

Factotums would become a touch less versatile with weaker offensive casting, better self-buffed combatants and have slightly easier access to more healing; that's about it. Seems fair.

Their spell-access is (sp), so no DMM.

On the other hand, Factotums can use metamagic under normal circumstances.

An even better (read : worse) synergy with Wizard in gestalt. Otherwise, it seems fair, especially if the casting is Wisdom-based.

Yeah, their ability specifically calls for preparing metamagic'd spells. If your DM lets you use their faux-turning as actual turning for purposes of Divine Metamagic, Factotums have all the tools necessary.

Of course, it would take a substantial chunk of their daily spells and you're already losing a ton of versatility switching from arcane to divine.
