Cortosis Staff (Refined)

In most forms, cortosis ore resists and absorbs energy, allowing items to withstand blows from weapons that would otherwise shatter them. Furthermore, cortosis refined in a particular way can short out lightsaber blades on contact.

CORTOSIS STAFF (REFINED)

When a character armed with a lightsaber makes a combat check targeting an opponent armed with a refined cortosis staff, three threat results or a despair result can be spent to cause the lightsaber to short out and deactivate after the combat check has been resolved. The lightsaber may be reactivated as an incidental, but it may not be reactivated until after the last Initiative slot during the next round. Cortosis staves require two hands to use.
