You only use the Factotum boost 1/day, but you can still boost it pretty high, as it's a class skill. The key element is that by RAW, Cunning Surge is not 1/encounter as you've houseruled it to be, so the following occurs:<br/><br/>0- Fight begins.<br/>1 - Factotum finds way to make enemy flat-footed, winning initiative or somesuch.<br/>2- Factotum Free-action draws Quickrazor, stabs enemy for big Iajatsu damage.<br/>3- Factotum sheaths Quickrazor as a free action.<br/>4-Factotum uses Cunning Surge for an extra standard action.<br/>5- Goto 1, unless Inspiration is exhausted.<br/><br/>End result, one factotum without Inspiration and one seriously buttwhooped enemy. A level 8 factotum with Cha 12 and a masterwork tool of IF can guarantee +2d6 bonus damage. If human, he can have 4 copies of Font of Inspiration, more with flaws. That's a total pool of 15 Inspiration points, giving 5 extra attacks in Round 1, for a potential 6d4+12d6+Strx6 burst damage. As he gains more levels, his potential burstiness grows faster, since his Iajatsu gets better and he gets more and more Inspiration to burn from levels and more feats.
