So I recently picked up Knights of Fate and one of the lightsabers they released is called a Broadsaber. Essentially it gives a flat blade and more damage. Now my character has been carrying around a “Lightclub Hilt” for about a month now in anticipation for the sourcebook to be released because I figured they would release something along those lines (which they did) and my GM was gonna let me pick a Hilt from the book. But when I was debating which Hilt to use I realized that we have only ever seen 1 flat lightsaber in canon. The Darksaber! So FFG basically just gave us a template to make our own Darksaber and I’m about 3 times as hyped now.

Enjoy it for the flavor alone because it's mechanically a very weak example of a lightsaber hilt.

Isn't it just a +1 damage and no penalty provided that you have agility 3?

That and 1 less HP than a basic hilt.

Sounds pretty well balanced to me

I remembered it as having 2 less HP (like the lightsaber pike). As is, it's not as bad as I thought, but it isn't remarkable either. For the cost of that HP, I'd rather have a crossguard lightsaber.

So KoF did some weird **** for the lightsaber stats where they account for the Kyber crystal on the useable version but don’t for the hilt version. I.E. the Broadsaber has 2 HP but the Broadsaber Hilt has 4. Not sure why but yeah it’s only 1 HP less.
