[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 4397394, member: 71571"] You can't get rid of your basic attacks. Simply put, you have them whether you want them or not. They are not optional. The option to not have them does not exist to you, and therefore if you try to get rid of them, the game says 'No, you have to have these' which prevents it from being replaced. All characters have them. Period. No ability or game rule explicitly or implicitly permits you or any creature in the game to not have the basic attack powers. No ability permits you or any creature in the game to replace the choice to have basic attack powers with a different choice. Even if you never use them, all characters have them. If they were replaceable, then an -exception- would be explicitly written down to note exactly how. Just as specific exceptions can break a general rule, the lack of specific exceptions means the general rule must apply. The argument 'but the rules don't explicitly say I can't' is an argument based on a completely different design philosophy than the 4e one. [/QUOTE]
