Melee Training is a heroic tier feat available to all characters. Benefit: A character with the Melee Training feat chooses an ability other than Strength. When the character makes a melee basic attack with a weapon he or she is proficient with, he or she can use the chosen ability instead of Strength for the attack roll. In addition, the character can use half of that ability's modifier instead of the Strength modifier for damage.[HotFL:316][HotFK:317]
