It turns out I don't have to throw that game away.  Treon is a lvl 9 
alchemist and it's reasonable enough to class change him now into a 
psionic, which resumes the Oratory usage.  You can't tell what you've 
got until it's in the recycle bin.  BTW that seems to be the pattern 
with the pre-generated characters, groomed characters that slide into 
stats for better classes.

By better - I consider a samurai better than a fighter and so on and so 
forth.
