A skill power is a utility power that represents a degree of skillfulness surpassing that conferred by normal training. Having a skill power is a sign of your mastery of that skill or a mark of your natural aptitude for it. You must be trained in a skill to gain and use its powers
Gainning and Using a Skill Powers[]
You can gain and use only the skill powers associated with your trained skills. Whenever you reach a level that grants you a utility power from your class you can choose a skill power in place of a class power. The skill power you choose must be of the same level as or lower in level than the class power you would have gained.
You can use retraining[PH:28] to replace a class power with a skill power and vice versa, as long as the new power is of the same level as or lower in level than the replaced power. You cannot replace a utility power from a paragon path or an epic destiny with a skill power.[PH3:164]
Choosing the Skill Power feat grants a skill power of your level or lower from a skill in which you are trained.[PH3:183]
