D&D 4E Is Retraining Powers Part of Core 4e?

[HeinorNY]

Hmmm ... I take a craft feat, make some magic items, keep them, retrain in another craft feat, make some more (3E specific, but still ...).

I don't think there will be craft items feats. Rituals will handle the magic item creation.

Power swapping certainly makes sense , though, and it keep sthe number of abilities at hand reasonable. Anyone know if rituals are "utility" powers, or something else entirely?

Something else entirely.

Rituals are non-combat powers.

Utility Powers are non-attack powers.
