Hey guys,

I’ve got two questions that I feel are a little silly, but just want confirmation.

1) In table 3-11 (EV) under the “Other” column the “-1 damage to installed crystals” does mean I subtract 1 from total damage output of my lightsaber?

2) If I wanted to construct a Crossguard Hilt would I use the Defensive Template? It seems the logical choice, but FFG missed adding it in the chart.

Thanks for the help on this, I know I’m probably overthinking these, but confirmation is always nice.

1st Question: Yes, much as you'd subtract 1 from the total damage output from a crystal installed into a shoto hilt from the core rulebook.

2nd Question: You could use the defensive hilt template as your basis, but all you'd get mechanically is the +1 to defense. However, there's an option in Table 3-12 to make a whatever hilt your constructing a crossguard hilt simply by spending 3 advantage or a Triumph, which admittedly uses slightly different mechanics than the crossguard saber as described on page 42 of EV.

Awesome, thanks for the assist!
