One of my favorite campaign settings under WEG Star Wars was The Lords of the Expanse . It introduced lightfoils which were nerfed lightsabers used by non Force using saber rakes for dueling. I've thought about introducing them into my FFG campaign. I have ideas on how to do this, but I am wondering if there are any more experienced players of this system has already beaten me to it or have already been thinking of it on their own who would like to share ideas. My idea is that there is some kind of crystal local to the Tapani Sector that can be used for lightsaber like effects but is not a true lightsaber crystal. I would change some combination of damage, critical range and the specials generally to the worse. The only thing that might be changed to the positive would rarity and cost, but I am not sure how nerfed too nerfed would be.
Also, I am thinking that producing a saber rake specialization would be cool, but I have not even began looking at how to create custom specializations. Any ideas on that one?
