• Fixed a case where NPC bounty targets can spawn high above the terrain.

Professions: Jedi

• Fixed exploit in Force Meditate - ensure meditate both force and TKA both work still and cannot jump from force to TKA meditate
• Fixed an issue where covert factioned players didn't award xp to a ranked Jedi - Issue: if a group of covert Jedi gain a group TEF against a ranked Jedi and that ranked Jedi kills the covert Jedi, the ranked Jedi takes -1 XP as opposed to gaining XP for the kill. This change fixes that behavior.
