Description: A longer handle and blade than a normal lightsaber, it fits Pel perfectly. The emitter has multiple claws on it. The entire hilt is matte black, giving it a rather menacing appearance along with the claws. The blade is a deep, bright crimson red, perfect for a Sith. Claws were added originally by a rather vain Sith Lord, and have no combat function. Moving down the lightsaber, and to hilt, its length adds room for a wider grip. In turn, this allows for its user to put a bit more power behind the swing, but also means the hilt could be much easier to hit out of someone's hands, or possibly even cut it, rendering the saber useless. The blade, while adding more range for attack, limits capabilities in small areas, such as a corridor or smaller frigate. Even though the red blade is weightless, it still takes more practice to wield proficiently.

A very simplistic submission with only small modifications from the original Sith saber archetype. Will this is all fine, I ask that you beef your description. Add strengths and weaknesses, what could those claws be used for, and explain why this saber fits Pel perfectly. Complete that, and I'll have no qualms about approving this submission.

@Mention me when you're finished!

No problem!

Updated. Hope that's good! If not, I can probably add some more to it.

The only thing I see that doesn't fit the bill is those claws catching other sabers. That would require a lightsaber-resistant metal and would therefore need a development thread to gain such an added strength. Here are some options for you:

• Completely remove the claws and add them in later via modification, following completion of a development thread.
• Put this sub on hold for the time being and complete the development thread.
• Or decide to just archive this submission.

Your saber looks fine as it is and approving it without the claws is guaranteed.

Changed the claws to just being aesthetic. If that doesn't work, I'll put this on hold an complete a dev thread later.

Works for me. You can always just punch somebody in the face Brass knuckles-style and hurt 'em. Good submission.

Pending approval.
