Double Bladed Lightsaber

Double-bladed Lightsaber (Lightstaff)

Type:  Double-ended Energy Staff

Skill:  Lightstaff

Difficulty:  Very Difficult

Damage:  5D

Notes:  +1D to parry.  If wielder misses difficulty by more than 5 points, the wielder struck.

            Most specimens may be used as a regular lightsaber (specialty Lightsaber: lightsaber), but without the parry bonus.  Must declare at the beginning of the round.  Damage remains 5D.

            An ultra rare light weapon, the double lightsaber consisted of an elongated handle (about 2.25 times the normal length), which projects a blade from each end.  This gave it the versatility and speed against attacks of a quarterstaff, but made it MUCH more dangerous to the user.  For this reason, it could usually be used like a normal, single bladed lightsaber.  This was considered by many Jedi to be a Dark Side weapon, mainly because its most famous user was the Sith Lord Exar Kun.  Less than a dozen examples where ever made.
