Replace the second sentence under Special with the following: "Maintaining the Force grip power is a standard action, and you must make a new Use the Force check each round.

p. 157 – Cover
Add the following sentence to the end of the description of Cover: "A target with cover or improved cover takes no damage from area attacks if the attack fails to overcome the target's Reflex Defense. For a burst or splash weapon, determine cover relative to the center of the weapon's area of effect. For an autofire weapon, determine cover relative to the attacker."
