The problem seem that I can not make a utility power that will show up, it tests and says ready to use but they will not show up? any ideas?
Wherever you go that's where you are!

What type (class, race, etc.) of power are you trying to create?

Did you assign them a level?  Level less Utility powers can only be added by bootstrapping them from something else.

I think I did.  I created a dummy power to test with and I didn't keep it after i finished the test.

So here is the attempt at Smooth Execution, I have stripped out the racial requirements in the 1st example and placed them in the 2nd either way it will not show up in the Utility powers to be selected and ideas?

  <thing id="pRacTiGSE" name="Smooth Execution" description="{b}Trigger{/b}: You make an Arcana, Dungeoneering, or Thievery check.\n\n{b}Effect{/b}: Roll the check twice, and take either result." compset="Power">
