[QUOTE="ValhallaGH, post: 4618901, member: 41187"] So what you want is an aristocratic character from a long line of force users in a unique tradition. Hm. Option 1: Jedi levels with an emphasis on Force talents. Kind of bland and unless you convince your GM to swap out the weapon proficiency you'll be more hindrance than help in combat unless you break down and use a light saber. Not great, but certainly workable. Option 2: Noble, with a selection of feats and talents that will make you eligible for the Force Adept prestige class. One of the benefits of going with a human is that you'll have a total of 3 non-class feats (1st, 3st, plus Human bonus). The combination of skills, Noble talents and the Noble bonus feat should allow you to really play-up the aristocratic leader role, while still being Force capable. Option 3: Other classes, with a selection of feats to make you a potent Force user and eventual Force Adept. The big flaws with options 2 and 3 are feat options. Specifically that you will be spending most of yours to use the Force at all (Force Sensitivity plus Force Training, and maybe even a skill focus [use the force]). This will limit your options for other feats and advancement options. Still, they aren't as confusing as the Jedi-but-not. I would probably go with the following: Human Noble 3: Feats: Force Sensitivity, Force Training (Force Slam, Force Stun, Move Object), [Combat Feat] Talents: Force Recovery, Disciplined Strike, [Telekinetic Savant] Skills: Knowledge (bureaucracy), Knowledge (galactic lore), Knowledge (social sciences), Ride, Persuasion, Use Computer, and either Pilot or Treat Injury (both if I could swing it). I'd keep an eye on the requirements for a Force Adept and be ready to go nuts when I get there. My final build would probably be a Noble 6 / Force Adept 9 / Force Disciple 5. That build really emphasizes the non-Jedi mastery of the Force, and would benefit from a GM willing to build (or let me build) a series of talents similar to the Jensaarai and Danthomiri Force using talents. However, you can choose a different path for this guy, a path that doesn't focus on his mastery of the Force. [/QUOTE]
