Is the Factotum really a fighter by another name?

Factotum is a rogue by another name; there's absolutely no feature or flavor to Factotum that doesn't fit the Rogue concept. The main difference is Factotum is both way better and way more interesting. There's no law that Roguetm must have no resources or whatever other criteria you're applying here
