Hybrid Essential classes: must they take their Essentials-style Encounter power? Or can they choose an Encounter power from their parent class, even if the sub-class would never normally get real Encounter powers?
The specific example I ran into is hybrid paladin (blackguard), which has this hybrid feature:
The word "can" suggests the hybrid blackguard is not forced to take Dread Smite as an Encounter power, and Character Builder will allow this hybrid to select regular paladin Encounter powers. However, we all know CB is not accurate in many places.
What say you, CharOpt?

You can select the dread smite power whenever you have the opportunity to gain or replace a class encounter attack power that has a level. If you already have dread smite, you gain an additional use of the power if you select it again.
