So, what do you reckon to this in terms of (a) design and (b) power level?
Factotum Epic Progression
Inspiration: A Factotum gains 1 more Inspiration point per encounter at 23rd level and every 3 class levels thereafter.
Opportunistic Piety: A Factotum continues to gain 1 more use of this class ability per day at 25th level and every 5 class levels thereafter.
Bonus feats: A Factotum gains a bonus feat at 22nd level and every 3 class levels thereafter. The feats can be any feat for which the Factotum meets the prerequisites.
New epic feats
Arcane Dissertation [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dilettante (7th level spells), Spellcraft 12 ranks
Benefit: When preparing spells using your Arcane Dilettante class feature, you can prepare one 8th level spell and one 9th level spell. These spells are in addition to your normal allotment of prepared spells from the Arcane Dilettante class feature (normally 8 spells for a 20th-level Factotum), but otherwise follow all the normal rules as described in the Arcane Dilettante class feature. In addition, you can prepare spells of up to 7th level in your other Arcane Dilettante slots.
Special: You can take this feat more than once. Its effects stack: each time you take the feat, you can prepare one additional 8th level spell and one additional 9th level spell.
Inspired Metamagic [Epic]
Prerequisite: Arcane Dissertation, any metamagic feat, Spellcraft 15 ranks
Benefit: When preparing spells using your Arcane Dilettante class feature, you can prepare one spell of a level one higher than your normal maximum. This spell slot is in addition to your existing allotment of spell slots for your Arcane Dilettante class feature. Because there are no spells above 9th level, you can only use this slot to prepare a spell affected by a metamagic feat that you know, or to prepare a spell of 9th level or lower.
In addition, choose one metamagic feat that you possess. You can apply this metamagic feat to a spell you cast as part of your Arcane Dilettante class feature, without preparing the spell with the metamagic feat ahead of time and without increasing the spell’s casting time or the level of the spell slot needed. You can only do this if the modified spell level is one which you are capable of preparing. To do this you must spend a number of Inspiration points equal to the spell level modifier of the metamagic feat, plus one (to a minimum of 2). For example, if you chose Empower Spell, and were capable of preparing 7th level spells, you could spontaneously Empower any spell you cast of 5th level or less. You would spend 3 Inspiration points (in addition to the one to activate your Arcane Dilettante class feature) in order to do so. Doing this is part of casting the spell from your Arcane Dilettante class feature.
Special: You can take this feat more than once. Its effects stack: you can prepare one spell of a level one higher than you could before, and you can choose an extra metamagic feat that you know which you can now use spontaneously.
Epic Cunning [Epic]
Prerequisite: Factotum level 21st, Intelligence 19, 10 ranks in any six skills
Benefit: A number of your class features improve as follows: Cunning Knowledge - you can use this class feature one additional time per day per skill. Cunning Dodge - you can use this ability as many times per day as you like instead of only once per day. Cunning Brilliance - you can choose an additional class feature at the start of the day and use it in addition to the three normally allowed by the class feature. You must spend any Inspiration points to activate these abilities as normal.
Cunning Slayer [Epic]
Prerequisite: Factotum level 21st
Benefit: The extra damage from your Cunning Insight or Cunning Strike class features lasts until the start of your next turn, instead of only applying to one attack.
Supreme Brilliance [Epic]
Prerequisite: Cunning Brilliance, Factotum level 21st, 10 ranks in any six skills
Benefit: You are not limited to class features which are extraordinary when choosing class features each day for Cunning Brilliance: you can choose class features which are spell-like, supernatural, or untyped. You cannot choose a spellcasting class feature. You cannot choose the same class feature from more than one class (for example, Turn Undead from both the Cleric and Paladin classes).
Factotum Epic Progression
