Lightsaber Construction Guide

Step 1: Building the Hilt

Building the hilt is the first step in constructing a lightsaber. This requires either an Average () Mechanics check or an Average () Knowledge (Lore) check. Building a hilt takes a base duration of 3 days.

Below is the list of hilts you can choose from to construct:

Name	Skill	Crit	Range	Encum	HP	Price	Rarity	Special	Reference	Note
Basic Lightsaber Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	1	5	300	5		FD 176
Broadsaber Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	1	4	600	6	Unwieldy 3	KoF 44	Increase damage by 1
Crossguard Lightsaber Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	1	4	900	7	Defensive 1	EV 42	Triumph or 3 advantages can be used to disarm opponent blade.
Double-Bladed Lightsaber Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	2	4	600	6	Linked 1, Unwieldy 3	FD 176	Requires two attachements/crystals, double the normal cost
Great Lightsaber Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	2	5	700	6	Cumbersome 3	KoF 44	Increase damage by 1

Shoto Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	1	3	300	6	Accurate 1	FD 177	Reduce damage by 1
Temple Guard Lightsaber Pike Hilt	Lightsaber	-	Engaged	2	4	2,000	9	Defensive 1, Linked 1, Stun 4, Unwieldy 3	KtP 46	Requires two attachements/crystals, double the normal cost

Spending Roll Results

Additional Successes: Each additional success reduces the duration by 4 hours.
1 Success: Reduces the cost of the hilt by 25 credits.
3 Successes: Decreases the encumbrance of the hilt by 1.
1 Triumph: Increases the number of hard points (HP) by 1.
1 Threat: Increases the cost of the hilt by 25 credits.
3 Threats: Increases the encumbrance of the hilt by 1.
1 Despair: Reduces the number of hard points (HP) by 1, to a minimum of 2.

Step 2: Installing the Crystal

Once the hilt is constructed, the next step is to install a kyber crystal. Note: No skill checks are required to install a crystal.

Below is the list of available crystals and their properties:

Crystal Name	Base Modifiers	Modification Options
Rubat Crystal	Installing this crystal changes a lightsaber's base damage to 6, critical rating to 2, and the lightsaber gains the Breach 1 and Sunder weapon qualities. If the crystal is ever removed, the lightsaber loses these qualities and reverts to its previous base damage and critical rating.	4 Damage +1 Mods 1 Decrease the weapon's critical rating by 1 to a minimum of 1 Mod 2 Item Quality (Vicious +1) Mods

Step 3: Modding Attachments

Once the crystal is installed, you can modify it using Mechanics checks. The difficulty and cost increase with each subsequent modification applied to the same attachment.

Mod Number	Difficulty	Cost (Credits)
First Mod	Easy ()	100
Second Mod	Average ()	200
Third Mod	Hard ()	300
Fourth Mod	Daunting ()	400
Fifth Mod	Formidable ()	500

Modding Roll Results

Success: The Mod is successfully installed.
Failure: The Mod is not installed, and you may not attempt to install this specific mod again.
Failure with Despair: The attachment (crystal) is destroyed.

Note 1: When modifying your crystal, you may roll a number of Force dice () equal to your current Force Rating alongside your Mechanics skill check. You can then convert the generated Force points directly into Successes or Advantages on a one-for-one basis.

Note 2: If you built the hilt yourself, the first Mod roll always succeeds.
