So just how powerful is Roan Fel? Is he along the lines of a Grand Master? Do you think he could beat Krayt? I am hoping that Krayt will fight him sometime.

I don't think we'll see how powerful he is exactly until we have the answer of whether or not he is of Skywalker blood.
If he isn't Jaina's descendant then I'd expect him to be around Mace Windu's level, possibly a bit lower (which I think Krayt is similar by this point in time).
If he is Jaina's descendant then I'd expect him at the same level as all the other Skywalkers. In which he could probably beat Krayt, but it would still depend on the circumstances (Krayt has a hell of a lot more experience, and even Obi-Wan beat a Skywalker, so circumstances can play a huge part in a battle, not just power levels... after all if Roan is a Skywalker, so is Mohrgan, and Krayt beat him - granted Mohrgan was outnumbered by that point and we've only seen a couple of frames from that fight so who knows exactly what determined Mohrgan's defeat)
I personally suspect he'll turn out a Skywalker so his power levels are through the roof, but I don't think we'll see until the novels catch up with proving the descent issue.
The only evidence we have up to this point of his abilities is his fight vs Darth Kruhl....... he pretty much mopped the floor with him, and although we don't know what level Kruhl is at, it was implied he was one of Maladi's best assassins, so that would imply pretty strong.

don't be so sure of that. If Roan's a descendant of Jaina and Jag, Morghan could be descendant of Jag's brothers or sisters.
About Roan - I think he isn't very powerful. He and his knights haven't mastered any side of the force, I thinks he's on Darth Bandon level.

What's there to master?
He is the legitimate Galactic Emperor, and is therefore entitled to the most power of all by birthright. QED.

I doubt he's that powerful as a force user or a duelist. You can hardly say that he defeated Kruhl through raw power. He ran from the throne room because he knew that even with a retinue of Knights he couldn't fight the Sith upfront.

I guess he is he more stronger than his imp knights,i mean he proved he is the boss almost every time,even when his knights disobeyed him.
He is old and smart enogh to fight with cold blood.
Thats what we know about him.
He bested Kruhl he wasnt exactly a the strongest sith.
I would wreally love to see a Roan vs Nihl match.

In my mind, Roan Fel is about as strong as your typical Jedi Knight, however, he is far more cunning and tactically sound. That's what gives him the edge in a battle. As the Emperor, I doubt he has much time just to train. We've had many presidents who were war vets and may have been capable of fighting terrorists, for instance, hand to hand, but why would they?

I think that gives him more of an edge than the Skywalker thing. He's got to be more skilled than his IK's as he's also a Jedi. I'd put him up there as any powerful Jedi who isn't a Skywalker only because there are just so many Skywalker's/Solo/Fel's running around in this era I don't want to think all of them with this insane midi-chlorine level. He may be a Skywalker descendant but I'm putting him up with Dooku or Mace and that ain't bad. Course none of us really know yet.

Even if he turns out to be decended from someone else(Say Kyp) he still could be quite powerful. His ducking of Krayt had a lot more to do with Sith numbers dwarfing IK numbers...... meesa thinks.

To paraphrase Luke: "Well, more power than you can imagine!"
Han: "...I can imagine quite a bit."
Roan's got heady magnetism, a shrewd mind, knack for self-preservation, refined good looks, and despite his very dignified bearing there's a hint of fellow-next-door that makes him appear extremely personable (excepting a very steely side). Who could best that type of virulence? It's enough to make anybody and their strill quake (Krayt would have to summon up the Force to have the same effect *kidding*). 
Seriously, though, I get the feeling he has some secret abilities up his sleeve -- definitely not a man to be underestimated. I think that a major power of his is in giving people the impression that he's an easy defeat. And I suspect that his true capability is beyond imagining (in the sense of his uniqueness). He very much couples that essence of a humble non-Force user with someone who is latently powerful with it, and possibly plays that power down. His advantage perhaps is in tending to come across as just a normal fellow, yet one who understands a bit of the old ESP. That dual essence giving him a killer angle -- as a Jedi might in training with a Mandalorian. In short: I think there's more to him than meets the eye. Still waters run deep, as they say.

I hope they continue to allow Fel to out-think and out maneuver his opponents. Remember the Count of Monte Cristo? It's not always the stronger swordsmen who wins....

I always imagine him to be Grandmaster level, with Kol and Krayt, usually. If he's related to the Skywalker's, then yes, definitely.

I agree. He's got that quality in him, and I hope it'll only heighten and get more complex. I almost wrote earlier: it's not always the Force that wins the day, though a little bit of both can go a long way.

This will not go over well...
If Fel were on par with Krayt, then why didn't he face him when he knew the Sith were coming to usurp the throne? (No excuses please) I bet Krayt (even in his weakened condition) would have wiped the floor with Fel's royal ass. (IMO, killing Krayt's minion was more about Kruhl's s failure, than it was about Fel's success.) Aside from his sharp tactical mind, Fel has done little to impress me.
