Aug 15, 2010 14:05:39 I don't know if this has been discussed before, but I noticed that there is no restriction except level as to what theme power a character can take. So, a 10th level character could take a 9th level theme daily attack power instead of a 10th level class utility power. Have I understood the rules correctly? I think this is weird and broken.

Aug 15, 2010 14:49:27 It should be mentioned in the retraining section, but Inaubrynn and mouthymerc are right, when you aquire powers you can choose lower level powers but they have to be the same type should be in the section on leveling up.

So no the character can't take the 9th level daily instead of the 10th level utility. You can however take the lower level theme utility instead.
