What makes this scout so smart?

I was recently editing the per files of MotS. I realized something rather odd. See in my TC I'm trying to make it so only the Jedi personality can use the Force. I tried editing the other .per files. I started by editing the scout.per. I changed all the Force power bins to 0. When I got in game it still had Force Jump and Seeing. Whats odd about it is that I got rid of it persuasion (scouts normally have persuasion). Anyway, I got rid of its persuasion, but it still had jump and seeing. I tried deleting the entire entry on Force powers and it did the same. If there's something for me to do in the per file I would like to know. The reason I put this in the cog forum to find out whether it was possible to get rid of the Force powers in the per file. If not, I would like to know if a cog could remove powers from a certain personality. No Force defense or anything. How would I got about this?

One thing I forgot to mention was that this should be for all the personalities except Jedi. Any inividual cog that could accomplish this would work. Either way...

Ok I know this sucks but you could just edit the force' cogs to check for the model of the player and only if it's Jedi let the force take action. (I am presuming that you have fixed models for personalities in Mots, dunno if that's the case, never played it at all).

There is a verb to check for a player's personality. I don't know what it is off hand, and JKSpecs are down, but you can use that in force_jump.cog to see if the player is a scout, and if they are, you can disable it.

I dont mean editing every Force power. I was wondering if a single cog could remove Force from the personalities except Jedi.
