It is specified to be Slip From the Grasp in the level advancement table. There is no list to choose from, this power is a class feature. Yes, it is a level 16 rogue utility power, but it is also a class feature of the Thief. A PHB1 rogue could pick this power at level 16, but an Essentials Thief simply gets it. CB is thus following RAW. Note that this interpretation is clearly correct RAW because otherwise a Mage at level 1 could simply swap out Magic Missile for some other level 1 at-will Wizard power, something which clearly is not allowed. If you are going to play E-classes, then you simply don't get very many choices to play with when using Martial classes.This whole topic was beaten to death back around September of last year. It's old school!</blockquote>
