Understanding Powers

[SSquirrel]

Ok, so I decided to make a slew of characters this afternoon and there are plenty of racial and class based bonus At Wills and Encounters. You don't get extra uses of these each day (unless the power specifically states as such) in addition to the base right?

Like you start with 2AW/1En/1Da/0Util, but (for example) a Wizard you would have to decide to pack around Magic Missle and Mage Hand instead of Cloud of Daggers correct? Or are cantrips considered something else?

Wizards get all cantrips for "free" as a class feature. You pick 2 at-will powers from the Level 1 At-Will powers (MM, Cloud of Daggers, Ray of Frost, Scorching Burst, Thunderwave). So at first level you actually have 5 things you can do at-will.

Ok, now if you have a racial or class feature encounter power is that just one more thing to choose from for your 1 encounetr power or do you get it in addition to the standard one?

Any Class Features or Racial Powers you have are in addition to your 2/1/1 at Level 1.

In addition.
