Editing Star Wars Roleplaying Game (section)

====Lightsabers====
[[Lightsaber]]s are in, and work [[Awesome|exactly]] how they are expected to, so no [[nerf|underpowering]] them for the sake of game balance. Thankfully the setting largely excludes Knight-level characters, so very few people actually know how to use them properly, meaning any character stupid enough to wield one will be rolling a number of D8s based on strength or agility without any skill points to upgrade them and therefore would have problems reliably hitting anything with a decent defense score.
*''Force & Destiny'' added Lightsaber styles as part of the base ruleset. That still doesn't make people into jedi sword masters though, since each style has to be learned separately just like any other career specialisation, plus Lightsabers are still rare and illegal, so finding one should be a challenge.
*''Rise of the Separatists'' revised the lightsaber mechanics to separate hilt from crystal. A sidebar adds a new rule that allows actually starting with a lightsaber if you don't mind taking the hit to your Obligation/Duty/Conflict to get an extra 2500 credits of value to afford it (or are starting at a higher level).

'''Lightsaber Crystals:''' Because there isn't actually a single table providing the statistics for lightsaber crystals -despite the fact they actually define the weapon itself - it is rather difficult to actually compare them without extrapolating from the text. So here follows a table of crystals put side by side, normally a crystal takes up 2 weapon Hard Point slots; some do differ and it will be mentioned in their notes.
