Lightsaber
"This was the formal weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. More skill than simple sight was required for its use. An elegant weapon. It was a symbol as well. Anyone can use a blaster or a fusioncutter—but to use a lightsaber well was a mark of someone a cut above the ordinary." - Obi-Wan Kenobi Designed as much for elegance in combat as for ceremony, the lightsaber, also referred to as the "laser sword" by those who were unfamiliar with it, was a distinctive weapon, the very image of which was inextricably bound with the mythos of the Jedi Order and their polar opposites, the Sith. The lightsaber also became synonymous with the Jedi Order's values to uphold peace and justice throughout the galaxy. This perception endured, despite the many conflicts with lightsaber-wielding Sith and Dark Jedi.
Attuning
You cannot wield a lightsaber to its highest capability until you have attuned to it and it has attuned to you. To attune to a lightsaber you must take a long rest, meditating on the saber as you do so. Make a force ability check against the lightsaber crystal's difficulty check. If you succeed, you have completed one attuning. To completely attune to a lightsaber you must complete a number of attunings equal to the attack/damage modifier of the crystal in the lightsaber (min 1). Until you are attuned to a lightsaber, do not add your proficiency bonus to attack rolls made with it even if you are proficient with lightsabers.
Color
As a new character, if you start with a lightsaber you do not get to choose its initial color or properties. Follow the table below to see what color your lightsaber is.
If you happen to find a new Adegan crystal you want to use instead of your current one, you can re-assemble your lightsaber and use it at the cost of needing to re-attune to your saber.
Crystal
Adegan crystals were commonly used by Jedi as a main component of a lightsaber. These rare Force-reactive stones were primarily found in the Adega system, though a fair amount of these crystals could also be found on the planet Halm. Other known locations where Adegan crystals could be found included Ilum, Mygeeto, and in parts of the Cularin system asteroid belt. The Force shared a special connection with Adegan crystals and it was through their use that Jedi created a bond amongst themselves, the Force, and their weapon. This trait caused the Adegan crystals in a lightsaber to give off a weak Force signature that could be sensed by any Jedi.
