Ok, this thread here explains that you can choose between your two rolls on an attack, etc, for It Was Meant To Be, so that clears up my confusion in the PRD.
However, it still seems to me that It Was Meant To Be, a 9th level Destined Sorcerer power, is underpowered compared to Bit O' Luck, a 1st level Luck Domain Cleric power. Here is the text for comparison:
"Bit of Luck (Sp): You can touch a willing creature as a standard action, giving it a bit of luck. For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, he may roll twice and take the more favorable result. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier."
"It Was Meant To Be (Su): At 9th level, you may reroll any one attack roll, critical hit confirmation roll, or level check made to overcome spell resistance. You must decide to use this ability after the first roll is made but before the results are revealed by the GM. You must take the second result, even if it is worse. [see above. This is an erratum.] At 9th level, you can use this ability once per day. At 17th level, you can use this ability twice per day."
Bo'L: reroll ALL d20 rolls within one round, at least 3x day, starting at 1st level.
IWMTB: reroll ONE d20 roll, 1x day, starting at 9th level.
Am I missing something here? I think the Destined and Karmic bloodlines are rather neato, especially Karmic, but this seems oddly imbalanced to me compared to those jolly Luck Priests. Maybe I'm comparing apples to oranges and the rest of the class balances things out--I don't have enough experience to know. It just caught my eye.
