Dexterity is one of three statistics, or "stats", that constitute a character's "physical" form. The amount of dexterity a character possesses determines his or her stamina, rate of melee attack, ability to successfully parry, and the time it takes to apply a bandage. The unmodified maximum dexterity is 125 points. Dexterity, along with a host of other information, is displayed on the Character Status Menu.
Dexterity Bonus
An Item Property that affects a character's dexterity is the aptly named Dexterity Bonus, which imparts a one-for-one increase in a character's base dexterity statistic. The non-artifact range for the Dexterity Bonus is +1 to +8. There are items that when equipped, reduce a character's dexterity (e.g., Insert Example Here).
Dexterity & Speed
A character’s swing speed and healing ability is affected by dexterity. There are numerous formulae for determining the affects of dexterity.
