Does anyone have any advice about making a Catachan Guardsman? Would they have higher strength due to the high-gravity of their world? I have a friend who wants to play one, but I wanted to make it as cool and close to canon as I can.

Thanks!

They don't seem very balanced to me - Iron stomach is a very specific bonus on exactly one skill while a +3 perception and Light Sleeper/Paranoid are rather powerful. And switching a -10 Tech Use and -10 fellowship in civilised/formal surroundings for a quasi-permanent -5 fellowship doesn't make up for it either. I'd recommend just leaving things as they are and using the Feral World background.
