[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 4349767, member: 2011"] Actually, I am quoting the FAQ, not Customer Service. Customer Service was quoted in other threads here and on the WotC forums. Feel free to look it up. And what is this "Everyone else has that ability" stuff that you keep mentioning? Nobody has the ability to [b]dynamically[/b] (i.e. it can be changed from one day to the next) use a lower level power in a higher level slot (the ability you are giving to the Wizard). They can permanently change it with retraining or level replacement, but then so again can the Wizard. He can use level replacement to replace his TWO first level Daily powers with a first and a fifth level power, but then he is stuck with those two powers for that slot. Specific overrides General. There is no General rule that any class can put a lower level power into a higher level slot without retraining or replacing at a given level, hence, a Wizard cannot do that either. There is no specific rule that allows a Wizard to do this. There is no specific rule that allows a Wizard to put any of his daily spells into his highest level daily slot. And, the FAQ (even on a slightly different question) doesn't add these abilities either. So far, the burden of proof for allowing it is on your side of the discussion. There are no rules that allow it. The rules give PCs of certain levels powers of given levels. The Wizard rules do not change this, it just gives him 2 powers he can use instead of just one for the power for a given level that he gets to use. Replacement power selection does allow someone to put a higher level power into a lower level slot, but nowhere does it state that the Wizard can put powers from any other slots into a different slot. You are adding that house rule. [/QUOTE]
