The Grand History of Eberron
The Grand History of Eberron Edited by Christopher J. Monte Based on the bestselling campaign world of Eberron created by Keith Baker and Wizards of the Coast The longer you look back, the farther you can see forward. —Sir Winston Churchill The world is a fine place and worth the fighting for… —Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat, And we must take the current when serves, Or lose our ventures. —William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar , Act IV, scene iii 2 Acknowledgements and Works Cited All ideas and storylines below are trademark/copyright their respective publishers and/or creators.

Factotum Class
FACTOTUM CLASS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, D&D, Wizards of the Coast, Forgotten Realms, the dragon ampersand, and all other Wizards of the Coast product names, and their respective logos are trademarks of Wizards of the Coast in the USA and other countries. This work contains material that is copyright Wizards of the Coast and/or other authors. Such material is used with permission under the Community Content Agreement for Dungeon Masters Guild. All other original material in this work is copyright 2016 by Jeremy Wadsworth of Bear Incorporated Sample file and published under the Community Content Agreement for Dungeon Masters Guild. Forward This is my Homebrewed conversion of the Factotum class from the D&D 3.5 Book Dungeonscape: An Essential Guide to Dungeon Adventuring (2007) by Jason Bulmahn and Rich Burlew. In the spirit of this wonderful class and D&D 5e, I have also combined it with two Prestige classes that go with this class very well as Archetypes. These “Archetypes” are the Chameleon and Master of Masks Prestige Classes. The Chameleon Prestige Class is from the D&D 3.5 Book Races of Destiny (2004) by David Noonan, Eric Cagle, and Aaron Rosenberg. The Master of Masks Prestige Class is from the D&D 3.5 Book Complete Scoundrel: A Player’s Guide to Trickery and Ingenuity (2007) by Mike McArtor and F. Wesley Schneider. I would recommend these books to anybody, and hope that every D&D Player has the privilege of reading these fine books. I am sorry if anything I do is in anyway problematic with Copyright issues, but it seems fine according to what the DM Guild information page at www.dmsguild.com/whatisdmsguild.php says under the section “What Can I Publish?”, which says “you can convert magic items, monsters, character classes, spells, etc.
