    Could I use these attacks together?

    Fighter Attack 1
    Wicked Strike
    Your weapon might be cumbersome, but it packs quite a punch when it connects.

    At-Will Martial, Weapon
    Standard Action Melee weapon
    Requirement: You must be wielding a two-handed weapon.
    Target: One creature marked by you
    Attack: Strength -2 vs. AC
    Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier + Constitution modifier damage.
    Level 21: 2[W] + Strength modifier + twice your Constitution modifier damage.
    Special: You can use the power in place of a melee basic attack.




    Pinning Challenge
    Paragon Tier
    Prerequisite: 11th level, fighter, Fighter Weapon Talent class feature
    Benefit: Whenever you hit a target already marked by you with a two-handed weapon and when using a basic attack, the target is also immobilized until the start of your next turn.

    Normally yes...

    Whenever a power or attack type says you can use a basic attack, you can use a power that says it can be used in place of a basic attack.

    The problem I see is that the feat you mentioned says:
    ...and when using a basic attack, the target is also immobilized until the start of your next turn.

    You're not using a basic attack. The power states that it can be used in place of a basic attack, but does not make the power a basic attack.

    It could go either way...

    Agree with Ken that it can't be used together.

    agree with Ken also. The power can be used instead of a basic attack but that does not turn the power into a basic attack.
