The Sith sword is a weapon created during the days of the Sith Empire using arcane alchemical techniques. A Sith sword is physically identical to most archaic swords, though the alchemical treatment it receives makes it nearly as dangerous as a lightsaber. A lightsaber does not ignore a Sith sword’s DR, and characters who are proficient with the Sith sword can treat it as a lightsaber for the purposes of using the Block, Deflect, and Redirect Shot talents (and any talents that have those Jedi talents as a prerequisite.
Additionally, a Sith sword becomes more powerful in the hands of a character who is steeped in the dark side of the Force. A character proficient in the Sith sword’s use can spend a Force Point as a swift action to gain a bonus to damage rolls with the Sith sword equal to their Dark Side Score. This bonus to bamage applies to the next attack made before the end of the encounter, and activating this ability increases the wielder’s Dark Side Score by 1.
