 ===== Skill Changes =====
 There are a few skills that just aren't useful enough to be worth taking, and so are combined to make them more attractive.
   * Climb, Jump, and Swim are all combined into a single Athletics skill.
     * Any class that has access to any one of Climb, Jump or Swim has access to Athletics.
-    * Bonuses and abilities that only affect one skill still only affect those specific applications of the Athletics skill. For example, a feat that allows you reroll Swim checks would let you reroll Athletics checks made to swim, but not Athletics checks made to jump.
   * Ride is not a skill; instead, Acrobatics is used for all purposes Ride would be used for.
-    * Similar to the above, bonus that used to apply only to Acrobatics or Ride still only apply to those applications of the Acrobatics skill.
+  * Gather Information is not a skill; instead, Persuasion is used for all purposes Gather Information would be used for.
+  * In each case, bonuses and abilities that only affect one skill still only affect those specific applications of a combined skill. For example, a feat that allows you reroll Swim checks would let you reroll Athletics checks made to swim, but not Athletics checks made to jump.
+  * Any class that had any one of the above skills as a class skill has its combined version as a class skill. For example, Scouts can select Acrobatics as a class skill, because Ride has been rolled into it.

   * **Drain Energy:** An active Lightsaber that is targeted by Drain Energy remains active, but it cannot be reactivated once it is turned off.
+  * **Force Lightning:** Because it being a Dark Side power isn't a balancing factor anymore (plus it was maybe a little too good anyway), it's been reworked a bit, [[.:new_content:force_powers#Force Lightning [Alter, Dark Side]|as described here]].
   * **Force Storms:** Because there are two powers called Force Storm, the one from the Jedi Academy Training Manual has been renamed Force Tempest.
   * **Kinetic Combat:** Kinetic Combat works with thrown weapons (such as discblades) in addition to melee weapons.
