[QUOTE="hobgoblin, post: 4299930, member: 24923"] thing is, im not sure if that bit in the advancement table is in there to cover that sinkhole of a power retraining rule, or if its just a "happy coincidence" that they "kinda" allow a bailout of a potentially bad decision done early on. also, when i think about it, its probably better to just hang on to whatever power you have then retrain it as you get to replace it anyways at a later time. i dont know, it seems so messy. why have the replacement stuff in the advancement table in the first place? why not just lump it all into the retraining rule and be done with it? thing is that you only have a limited number of encounter and daily power replacements available, while you can retrain at any time you gain a level. looking at the table you get to replace a encounter attack power every 4 levels, starting with level 13. and a daily attack power every 4-5 levels starting with level 15. interestingly this corresponds with when you get access to powers of that type. ok, so its not as broken as i first thought (i had the 3ed warlock mess clear in my head when i first read that bit about retraining). but it makes me wonder how balanced those level 13 and later powers really is, that is if someone where to pick up multiples of the same level...
