I was thinking it was DEX for some reason. I'll have to disagree with less important. You have that 1st level Eladrin wizard with melee training and put him with 2 warlords. You now have a wizard that people can make make OA and the warlords can give free attacks to. That attack you count as 'less important' could be used quite a bit in a combat and add up to a vastly larger amount of damage. Those 2 warlords can let that wizard do more damage to a single boss creature than the wizards burning hands can. [2d8+8 vs. 2d6+4] To put it simply, the martial training feat gives a new at will to a lot of classes that don't have melee powers. It allows them OA, charges and other things that they just could do before. Put a wizard and party in a small room with a creature that has threatening reach. That melee attack is looking pretty good compared to that burning hands.  I'm not seeing changing the stat for racial encounter powers anywhere close to the power of a new at will.</blockquote>
