Training Lightsaber
Model: Training Lightsaber
Type: Melee weapon
Scale: Character
Cost: Not available for sale
Availability: 4, X
Difficulty: Difficult (16)
Damage: 5D (see notes)
Game Notes: A training lightsaber is in most respects like a standard lightsaber, with a few exceptions. Firstly, while the blade can be used to block blaster bolts (with the Lightsaber Combat Force power), these bolts cannot be deflected at targets. It is also much less lethal than a standard lightsaber, and can only inflict a maximum damage result of ?Wounded? to any target struck (any result greater than ?Wounded? is treated as a Wounded result). Last of all, training lightsabers do not focus their power strongly enough to cut through objects. When used against inanimate objects, the damage of a training lightsaber is reduced to 2D. 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.

And I can still practice making my own training saber right?
-
sure, or practice making a real one.
-
By my count, I now have 2 CPs, correct?
-
I need a little more of your calculations to verify.
I show you with 12, but I don't record you taking Control yet.
-
Coming to Seeker: 6 CP
Awarded: 5
Total: 11
Learn Control: -10
New total: 1
Training RP Award: 1
Final total: 2CP
-
Yes, 2 CP.
-
Niil also has a broken lightsaber that at least Collan can study to get an idea of how they're made.
-
What's Collan's Lightsaber Repair skill at?
-
He's at 2D+1, looking to go to 2D+2. And start making a saber, training or real. But I'm pretty sure we don't have the right crystals laying around to make a real saber.
-
I think we might. Craig did mention that we had the option of working on a real lightsaber, so I'd guess the proper crystals are here.
-
Ch'lana might have a few adegan crystals, if you ask nicely. :)
I'll tell you OOC'ly that he's going to want to see evidence that you know what you're doing before he lets you have them. They are too rare and precious to risk ruining them.
Also note that the tuning process is based on your technical skill, not your Force skills. It requires you to tune and imbue the crystal, but it is a technical roll only that determines the outcome.

BTW...this...

"So how do I get power across the bridges and not make the case bigger?"
You install a flux capacitor of course. :P

Again, the assumption that I have a working knowledge of electronics. Nope.
I should've pulled a Star Trek copout and said "Just run it through the deflector array."

Or [insert technobabble here]
-
I think I might have a way around it . . . . ^-^
-
+1 for creative removal of offending crystal color.
-
OOC: There, I got rid of the bluish-purple crystal in an IC post. ;D
That was awesome. :)
-
I was originally thinking of putting it in the calibration laser and having it melt away into a grape-smelling goo, but then realized that I had to clean it first. I thought the "taster's test" was far more amusing.
Maybe Ch'lana deliberately put it in the drawer to make sure we were paying attention to the construction process . . . ^-^
