Nice!
Thumbs up!
Although, this has allready been done a couple of times..

This one doesn't make you a Jedi :p
I like to gain the bonuses/feats of the base classes befor becoming a Jedi.
So I rarely save levels or use padawan mods. I just like having my lightsaber :D Also this mod only affects the PC.

Yeah I was going to say, this is a first, we've got Padawan mods, and a recently released Force-Sensitive mod, but I have to say, this one is more to my tastes. :D

i like this idea, nice one! well done!!!

there should be a mod, just like this, but where it can damage you, so, yes anyone can use a sabre but few can do it without hitting themselves, maybe, you could make this your V2 ? :p

just a thought :D
