[QUOTE="DracoSuave, post: 5374468, member: 71571"] "Whenever you choose a new class power, you can select it from the list presented in this book or you can take a power of the same class, level, and type (attack or utility) from another source." The rule is explicit in that it kicks in 'whenever you choose a new class power'. This only occurs for warpriests when they get their daily powers; they never choose their at-wills or their encounter powers. They just flat out get one without any choice involved. Look at level 1. You do not get to choose any at-wills, or encounter powers. What happens is you get the class feature 'Domain Features.' It states 'you gain special features... two at-will attack powers, one utility power, and one encounter attack power.' Then under the domains themselves, it does not say 'Choose two at-will powers.' It says, flat out, as a storm cleric you get Blessing of Wrath, Storm Hammer, Create Water, and Thundering Steel. If you're not offered a choice, you cannot substitute. This is the same reason why your spirit boon determines one of your at-wills as a shaman, and your pact determines one of your at-wills as a warlock. You don't just get to swap them out because you like some other power instead. It never states in any part of the book that you're choosing those powers. It states that you simply get them; the swapping for other texts' powers is only allowed when you can choose a new power. [/QUOTE]
