Hello Everyone,
I'm reworking the factotum class with a few changes here and there for a campaign setting that I'm working on. The campaign uses a mixture of pathfinder and 3.X rulings as I think that each system did some things right and some things wrong. The factotum is my favorite class but I'd like to give it a bit more to help it compete with the buffed up base classes. Any feedback would be appreciated, so thanks in advance!
I'm moving Cunning Brilliance to 20 to cement it as the capstone ability. I like it's current incarnation as it would get significantly more powerful with other classes being buffed and getting new EX abilities.
I would like to increase the inspiration point pool by about 30-40% and give a bonus feat every 3 levels starting at 3rd level.
Since I'm using the pathfinder skills where a lot of similar skills have been merged, it's already a stealth buff for the class so I think that the above changes should bring it in line.
I'm also going to be adding a few feats based on improving some of the inspiration class features. I want to get your opinion if the class would still be balanced just by adding those things.
tl;dr
Is factotum still balanced if I move capstone to 20, add bonus feat every 3, and give 30-40% more base inspiration points.
