Factotum

A Factotum is a type of Wizard who has dumped his significant brainpower into learning every weird and wild trick of the adventurous trades. Many are self-taught and unique but they all sacrifice much of their traditional spell prowess to follow this path. Many a time has a Factotum stood before a noob with it's mouth agape saying "How did you do that?".  He's the guy that DIDN'T drop his INT to 8 and is still somehow able to make up ridiculously complicated battle plans in character. When he's awesome, he's IN character! He's Ron F**king Swanson! He's a FACTOTUM!
