Making steam powers work with a Factotum's Cunning Briliance?
So I was chatting with some people in an OOC game where I play a factotum, and alot of fallout references kept popping up.
So I made a joke that at lvl 19 I would used cunning brilliance to mimic a coglayers (DragonMech) steam powers to create (over time) Liberty Prime!
Now I am curious... Can it be done? I know that cunning brilliance only works for 1 minute per day, but combined with a few other abbilities, and a massive int score, could it be made to work? Not just Liberty prime, but any steam powers at all?
Maybe the Factotum uses that minute to furiously scribble blueprints and manuals to be used after?
Maybe he uses spells or magic items to stop time once he activates the ability?
Maybe he simply works for 1 minute a day for 60 days to complete each steam power?
Once the powers are built, can the factotum perform the daily maintinence required without needing to reactivate Cunning brilliance? (This seems more like a restriction on the result rather then the creator.) Perhaps with Knowledge checks?
Also, for those of you who would argue that a Factotum would need to see steam powers in action first, all that requires is that my character invents the engine!
