[QUOTE="killswitch, post: 5657701, member: 99637"] Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I'm unsure on the rulings of the hybrid Blackguard, except, here is my take: In builder, when you choose Paladin hybrid, you can choose Blackguard powers, leading me to believe the opposite is true. Also, due to the wording in the Blackguard Hybrid article: "Dread Smite (Hybrid): You can select the dread smite power [I][B]whenever you have the opportunity to gain or replace a class encounter attack power[/B][/I] that has a level. If you already have dread smite, you gain an additional use of the power if you select it again." It sounds that the development of the Blackguard followes all other classes in terms of Encounter and Daily and Utility development, and you can choose to select Dread Smite as an option. This is partially what I'm looking for clarification on, and unfortunately Blackguard hybrid isn't in the Builder yet, so I am waiting on that. Otherwise, if this isn't how the hybrid Blackguard works, my hopefully favorite class is an utter letdown. Also, for the choosing a Vice and getting that At-Will, i agree, we may only be able to choose the at-will for the vice, but if the above is true, retraining it will work. [/QUOTE]
