LIGHSABER (CHARACTERISTIC) CHECKS
Several talents require the character to make a Lightsaber skill check with a specific characteristic – a Lightsaber
(Cunning) check, for example. The character must already have a talent allowing him to use the alternative
characteristic with the Lightsaber skill in order to make this check.
