May 19, 2009 0:08:16 I selected Eldritch Strike as the Dilettante power for the Half-Elf character that I just created, but had no option to choose which stat (CON or CHA) to use as the attack stat. On the calculation section it shows that the to hit is calculated using CON and the damage is being calculated using CHA.

Is this a known bug or is there a way in the character builder to make this choice that I missed?

That would require a core rules change. Right now your GM is doing a houserule to allow you to do this. Perhaps we will see something from WOTC to change the core rule, but then again perhaps not.
