[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6333064, member: 996"] I wonder if I'm missing something? I was thinking you'd scale at the point you'd theoretically re-train, but I forgot how... odd the re-training schedule got with PPs and ED's woven in. So, correct me if I'm wrong: you start with an encounter at 1, get new ones at 3rd and 7th, and have your first opportunity to re-train for a higher-level power at 13th, then at 17th, 23rd and 27th (a level I've yet to reach or run for, 26 is as far as I've gone). So you retire with 3 class encounter attack powers of 27th, 23rd and 17th level, assuming you always trade out your lowest-level power (your 1st for 13th, 3rd for 17th, 7th for 23rd and, finally 13th for 27th) So what I meant to suggest was that a power would scale only when it would be trained out in that progression, so your 1st level encounter (only) would scale twice, once at 13th, once at 27th. Your 3rd level power would scale at 17th, your 7th at 23rd, and your 13th level power (if you traded out your 1st level power for it) would scale at 27th. And that's it, your 17th level power, for instance, would never scale. So none of those levels or ever dead: each time you have the option of either trading-out your lower level power, or scaling it. But, now that I think about it, that'd get wonky if you didn't follow the assumed pattern of trading out your lowest-level power. If, say, at 13th, you traded out your 7th level power, your 1st level power wouldn't scale. Hmmm. No, wait, that's not that wonky: You could, instead, scale your 1st level power 'up to 13th' at 17th or 23rd or even straight to 27th when you got there.... [/QUOTE]
