How would you build a Bene Gesserit (Dune) ?

[nighttree]

Inspired by the Jedi thread....and just curious how others would go about it ?

[Teemu]

I would be curious to see other responses as well. I think a Foresight subschool Diviner would be a good option. A lot of it would probably come down to flavor and roleplay.

[Larkspire]

Inquisitor might be a good starting point as well.

[Choon]

The Voice seems a lot like the Suggestion spell, so they are almost definately casters of some flavor. The hardest part would be the mechanical influence of their powers of observation, I think. The various abilities that give you a bonus if you observe or study a target might be good.

[Kvantum]

With or without psionics? I mean, if we can include Dreamscarred content it becomes a lot easier.

[Larkspire]

Psionics would be the clear choice if available.

[Choon]

It's true. It's just one feat to pick up the suggestion-like power of choice on the class chassis of your choice.

[Marik Whiterose]

Ancestors Oracle?

[Imbicatus]

I could see the voice as a witch hex, and the witch spell list is appropriate.

Well they are brutal physical combatants, with the power of suggestion and the ability at the top tiers to see into their ancestry on the matriarchal side... Not sure how you could do it without gestalt.

Wierding combat is the big issue....someone who may not "seem" like a front line combatant...but when she needs to...can move with almost blinding speed and get you in a choke hold....that's rough ;)

Could a Bard focused on unarmed combat work ???

[Mir]

Sacred Fist Warpriest with Charm or Glory Blessings? Knowledge and a few others might work too. You get both the spellcasting and the physical power.

this could help

Yes, it does....unfortunately we don't usually allow third party/homebrew at our table.
