Ligthsabers item creation mod, need feedback on balance Options

[kilolima2]

Hi all,

For my first mod, I wanted to add player-made lightsabers based on misc items found in the game. Also, similar to the Valen mod, I wanted the lightsaber to increase in power based on the players experience level and any new components discovered.

I also discovered this Jedi kit and lightsaber mod, I used the lightsaber color effects. That mod is at : http://www.sorcerers.net/ubb/ultimatebb.ph...ic/10/6106.html

If you can, please review the text below and give me any feedback as to
A. if the weapons are over/under-powered
B. Ideas for components
C. Other effects/damage these items should have.

Thanks,

kilolima

Here is a sample text for the first item:

Lightsaber +2

An elegant weapon for a more civilized time:

You have assembled this Jedi weapon from scavenged components. It fits naturally into your hands and is quick and nimble to wield. A toggle on the hilt activates an incandescent red blade of energy. The blade is extremely sharp- it could most likely cleave in a single blow any known material in all of Faerun and beyond.
