Can't choose same power at a higher level

Jun 16, 2010 1:42:34 Currently, if I have a list of powers that I don't want to swap at a higher level, I cannot simply choose to lose a power and pick the same power at the higher level like I could before.

For instance, I am building a telepath psion that has three at-wills of which one is "mind thrust". At level 7, I don't want to choose any new power, so I will simply highlight "mind thrust" to lose, and then go to the level 1 drop-down and choose "mind thrust" again as my level 7 choice.

Now, when I try this, the program will not let me select mind thrust, although the option does appear in the drop down. Is this intentional?

The rules also say that you can replace one of your at-will attack powers with another one of the level in question or lower, though, so it's a valid complaint.
