[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 103074, member: 386"] Realize that a 1st-level BG Adept would probably be 5 years old. This is said about the Sardaukar, the Emperor's "Terror Troops", the power that he used to control the Landsraad: "At the apex of their sway over the affairs of the Universe, their swordsmanship was said to match that of the Ginaz tenth level and their cunning abilities at in-fighting were reputed to approach those of a Bene Gesserit adept. Any one of them was rated a match for any ten ordinary Landsraad military conscripts." The Bene Gesserit are, by far, the better warriors, especially at the time of the first DUNE book. Remeber that Doctor Yueh could truthsay, to a small degree: "I made a shaitan's bargain with the Baron. And I must be certain he has fulfilled his half of it. When I see him, I'll know. When I look at the Baron, then I [i]will[/i] know. ... My poor Wanna taught me many things, and one is to see the certainty of truth when the stress is great. I cannot do it always, but when I see the Baron - then, I [i]will[/i] know." I would suggest making it a Restricted Skill, available only to the Bene Gesserit; and make a Feat that allows it to be taken as a Cross-Class Skill. Guild Pilots are no longer human. I don't think it would be much fun to play one of these; they have strong prescient ability, which might cause problems. I forget what the pilot looked like in the second book (Dune: Messiah?) and what his abilities were, but he seemed quite alien. I don't know much about the other classes you posted; is one of them some type of bard class? I think that archetype is still strong in the Dune universe. [/QUOTE]
