DESCRIPTION​

"lightsaber gauntlet was a device possibly used by the Jedi Order and other Force-sensitives. It was attached to the user's arm and, when activated, emitted one or more lightsaber blades. They were like gauntlets worn by bounty hunters such as Cad Bane or Boba Fett, although attached was a mechanism which was able to emit glowing energy, very similar to lightsabers. Plo Koon was thought to be a user of such a gauntlet. Irek Ismaren and Uda-Khalid had similar weapons."

they are relatively more easy to hide, as they are along one's arm rather than one's side, it was typical to wear two saber gauntlets at once, or use the gauntlet as a parrying weapon with a shorter lightsaber blade.

It is highly unlikely a non-Jedi or sith PC would be utilizing this exotic weapon, I would think that jedi dislike using it, much like double sabers, as they offer little defence and are more for offense, but I could see a jedi using it as a backup weapon.

LEGALITY​

anywhere a lightsaber weapon would be considered illegal, it will be banned, but anywhere lightsabers are a norm, or a known sight, no one would bat an eye to it, so likely anywhere the jedi or sith order hold sway is where they would be considered a norm.

INTENT​

I intended this as a more exoctic weapon for saber users, I intend to have this be the first in my series of porting weapons from the expanded universe so they are viable in this site. Also add more fun and unique weapons besides the average lightsaber, it could be used for jedi and sith who want a new way to utilize sabers.

RESTRICTIONS​

the gauntlet in on itself provides no arm protection, no weapon can be wielded in any hand the gauntlet is equipped in, and cannot have any functions to the gauntlet, period.

goodness, apologies, I forgot fixing the formatting when I copy and pasted it haha, one momento!

Okay. Upon further inspection, there are a few changes I'd like you to make.

1, please add a restriction that a wielder cannot use another weapon with the arm this thing is attached to.

2, this weapon should not provide any additional armored protection, nor can it be covered by armor. Please make that explicit.

3, no wrist armor functions can be attached to this.

Finally, please tro to keep the information in the categories above Description short and to the point, preferably less than a sentence. If you need to elaborate on things, that is what the Description is for. Everything else is meant to be read at a glance, and otherwise it spoils the formatting.
