I've been playing with the idea of adding lightsaber crystal upgrades to the game using inspiration from the Rodian Trader and Czerka Scientist.
Here is one of the 4 characters I've come up with (all with different upgrades):
Jedi Enclave Scavenger 18 Points UC
Fringe
HP: 20
Def: 13
Atk: 6
Dam: 10
Special Abilities
Melee Attack;
Pontite Crystal Upgrade (Replaces turn: Select one adjacent ally with a Force rating and a Lightsaber. That character gains Slowing Strike (Living characters hit by this character’s attack gain Speed 4 for the rest of the round. +10 Damage to non-living enemies.) for the rest of the skirmish)
Firkrann Crystal Upgrade (Replaces turn: Select one adjacent ally with a Force rating and a Lightsaber. That character gains Electric Shock +10 for the rest of the skirmish.)
Damind Crystal Upgrade (Replaces turn: Select one adjacent ally with a Force rating and a Lightsaber. That character gains Lightsaber Deflect for the rest of the skirmish. If the selected ally already has Lightsaber Deflect, they get +4 to Lightsaber Deflect rolls. A character can only benefit from one Crystal upgrade at a time.)
After the destruction of the Jedi Enclave by Malak, many would-be fortune seekers scavenged many valuable items from the Jedi to sell to the highest bidder.
Thoughts?
Edited cause I wanted the Damind to be accessable to all.

Looks like a good start and the concept has much potential. I don't recall the names of crystals but a few ideas I came up with are as follows:
Unstable (??) Crystal (+10 damage. On a natural attack roll of 2, this character deals -20 damage for remainder of turn. On an attack roll of one, -20 damage and this character takes 10 damage.)
Reflective (??) Crystal (This character's required save for Lightsaber Deflect is instead 6 against attackers without a force rating and the damage prevented is redirected to the attacker. Save 11 negates.)

Looked hard at Kaiburr and couldn't figure out how to make it work with what I had done before. It's just SOO powerful... still tinkering though.

I'm wondering if, for balance issues, I'd need to add a condition to the crystal upgrades. "A character can only benefit from one Crystal ability at a time." Something like that. Hmmm... this might spawn another SA or two... Multi-Crystal Saber, Dual Weilder, etc.

Edited and added a new crystal ability to the top so that everyone would have access to Lightsaber Deflect.

Looks cool. How would you resolve the "has a lightsaber" part. Not all sculpts show the lightsaber. And some have the lightsaber ability, so the wording might have to take that into account. Also, would the character be in a faction other than fringe? (ie OR). This thread makes me want to hop back on KOTOR II!

This thread makes me want to hop back on KOTOR II! A character being defined as having a Lightsaber is in the glossary. I believe they need to physically have one, have a FP that has Lightsaber in it, or the Lightsaber SA. Here is another character I have in the pipe... Jedi Lightsaber Instructor 19 Points UC Old Republic HP: 50 Def: 16 Atk: 9 Dam: 20 Special AbilitiesMelee Attack; Shii-Cho Style; Affinity (May be in a Republic squad); Rubat Crystal Upgrade (Replaces turn: Select one adjacent ally with a Force rating and a Lightsaber. That character gains Lightsaber Precision for the rest of the skirmish. A character can only benefit from one Crystal upgrade at a time.) Velmorite Crystal Upgrade (Replaces turn: Select one adjacent ally with a Force rating and a Lightsaber. That character gains Lightsaber Defense for the rest of the skirmish. A character can only benefit from one Crystal upgrade at a time.) Force PowersForce 2 Lightsaber Precision Lightsaber Defense Lightsaber Instructors often gave a Padawan their first lightsaber crystal.
