Role in Defense
Dexterity plays the biggest part amongst all stats for defense.
Formula
Defense can be calculated using the following formula(1):
Defense = ((Dexterity*2) + (Total Armor Defense*(Armor Skill * .03)) + (Shield Armor * ( * .03)) + ((Primary Weapon Skill + Secondary Weapon Skill)/2)) * (1. Stance Modification)
Armor Penalty
The weight of one's armor can hinder dexterity. For this reason, it is common to see dexterity-based characters using Light Armor, due to the low weight. However, Elven heavy and medium armor offer reduced weight and thus reduced penalty, but still not as much as light armor.
Role in Offense
Dexterity-Based Weapons
The following weapons use the dexterity value to determine their maximum damage:
- Daggers
- Throwing Daggers
- Staffs
- Bows
- Crossbows
- Unarmed weapons
- Nature's Wrath, a Druid-only one-handed sword
- Brallia Blades, a Ranger-only one-handed sword
- Long Blades, the cardinal weapon of Blade Masters
- Thanarion Swords, the cardinal weapons of Blade Weavers
