Archaic Lightsaber

Archaic Lightsaber
Model: Primitive Lightsaber
Type: Melee weapon
Scale: Character
Cost: 1,600
Availability: 4, X
Difficulty: Difficult
Damage: 5D
Game Notes: Archaic lightsabers are attached to a belt worn power pack by a cable, and weight about 3 kilograms. They are unwieldy and cumbersome compared to modern lightsabers, and the difficulty of all Lightsaber skill rolls made to parry with them are increased by +5. If an attacking character misses the difficulty number by more than 10 points (the base difficulty; not their opponent’s parry total), the character has injured himself with the lightsaber.
