Why? "Take an extra action for free" is an awesome feat, why wouldn't you take it over and over? Because it doesn't do that at almost any of the levels we're talking about. 15 Inspiration points are available by level 8. That's 5 extra standard actions per encounter. Not having said nova ...

Edit: To be clear, you are a bad person because you advocate me making misleading statements such as "Factotum spellcasting is sometimes useful" instead of telling people to play a class that won't make them cry because they suck such as rogue. No. The Factotum may suck terribly. The Rogu...

I never said Factotums were good. I never said they could compete. I never said they could even win 50% or more of fights against CR appropriate opponents. I was simply disproving the statement "Factotum spellcasting will never make a difference against an equal CR opponent". And I did th...

Shivering Touch + Dragon. Done. Let's play the dumpster diving know your encounters ahead of time game just for a second. OK, you cast shivering touch (sorc/wiz 3). You can do this once per day at eighth level. It deals 3d6 dex damage. Now, you have a slightly higher than 50% chance of actually dea...

Perhaps you think you are saying something else than what you have actually typed. "Show me a single time a factotum's spellcasting will ever make a difference in against an equal CR opponent. That's how laughable it is. It's a cute trick, not a combat feature." You're saying Factotum's sp...

lol. No discussing spellcasting. Very selective arguments. I do not give a flying fuck about your dispute with this JaronK. I am stating facts as I see them. Factotum offers more to a party during a campaign than rogue. It can dumpster dive with the best of them. The fact that it's class features a...

I didn't realize Rogues got Iaijutsu Focus. Did you do something other than vanilla rogue?
