Schools of the Imperium - Mentat
Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind. - Orange Catholic Bible commandment following the Butlerian Jihad Greetings Sleepers, The Butlerian Jihad outlawed all thinking computers, leaving a vacuum in the universe which was eventually filled by the Order of Mentats. See the Mentat in action in our third Schools of the Imperium showcase. [previewyoutube=FU9FxpHu-Ko;full][/previewyoutube] A secretive and insular organization, the Order of Mentats conditions their adherents to store and analyze vast amounts of data at superhuman speeds. In Dune: Awakening, you can learn to condition your mind in this fashion to analyze the battlefield and become a master tactician and assassin. Here are some of the Mentat’s early skills:- The Sentinel: Deploy a suspensor buoyed dart projector that uses motion detection to cover a field of fire. Trigger a second time to activate.
- Poison Capsule: You have a hidden dart dispenser that fires off a specially prepared capsule filled with poisonous spores. On impact, a cloud of poison appears, building poison on all who remain within.
- Shield Wall: You deploy a half-height Holtzman shield that provides cover during combat for you and your allies. It will also slow enemies who attempt to pass through it – giving you time to take them down.
