If you put a crystal in a doublebladed lightsabre, its stats will be doubled, right? For example, Pontite (+1-10 Cold, CHA: +2) will do +2-20 Cold dmg and Cha +4? Same case with the <player>'s chrystal right? If a Sith Lord / Jedi Master with double alignment mastery wants to get the best bang out of his sabre(s), she should get a doublebladed lightsabre so she gets TWICE the charisma / wisdom bonuses from the <player>'s chrystal?

 

The thing is, it's been so long since I played KOTOR 2 that I can't remember for sure if this thing with the doublebladed sabres was a KOTOR 1 or KOTOR 2 mechanic.

It's for neither... not sure why you think it was/is...

[ThatDearGuy]

Hm.. I think it was something I read once (on a forum?) about using the dragon pearl in Kotor 1, but I'm not even sure about that anymore. Jedi using 2 sabres at the same time can use twice the crystals. I think I assumed that in the case of a doublebladed sabre that effect was mimicked for each 'side' of the sabre, but with only one set of crystals. Effectively copying them.

 

 

I just wanted to check and you confirmed for me that I was wrong. You have my thanks.

Ho wait, there aren't any bonuses for using force powers while not carrying any weapons are there? I thought that might be the case, since there is a separate feat for deflecting blaster bolts without a lightsabre as well.

[Hassat Hunter]

Nope either.

 

That power is just for gun/unarmed/melee builds. Very effective before you get a lightsaber too. Not too shabby with even due to the deflection bonus, passive, always present. I always take it for that (too many powers are gained, cluttering up your selection box anyway...)

[ThatDearGuy]

Good point, thanks for that tip.
