Apologies if this question has come up before. I didn't see it answered with any citations to the rules.
So, can a non-essentials character take an essentials power? For instance, can a non-essentials rogue take a trick as a utility power, since all the tricks are classed as Rogue utility? And, by the same token, can the power swap Multiclass feats swap out an essentials power, like the Rogue Tricks?
It seems that WotC could have, very easily, classed these powers (from the essentials classes) as something else other than Utility or Attack, and in doing so they intended them to be acquired by non-essentials classes.
I am looking for a specific rules citation that answers the question, if any exists...not the CB, since the CB is not a rules source.
Thanks a ton,
