'''Dexterity''' measures a character's hand-eye coordination, balance, and aim. A character's dexterity bonus adds directly to their ranged weapon [[attack strength]], including [[bolt spell]]s, and is a factor in determining [[melee]] [[roundtime]] reduction and [[critical weighting]].<br />
<br />
The amount of critical weighting added to melee attacks is:<br />
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=60%}}><b>Weighting: </b>(DEX BONUS + (STR BONUS - (WEAPON SIZE FACTOR))) / 4<br><b>Weapon Size Factor:</b> Summation((Weapon Base Speed + 1) - 3 if open handed) * 2<br></div><br />
The weapon penalty offset from strength cannot go ABOVE 0<br>Weighting added cannot go BELOW 0<br>the "open hand" from using a two-handed weapon / polearm DOES apply in the above weapon factor formula<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Example for a halfling with max stats using a spear gripped 2-handed (6 second weapon):<br />
<div {{prettydiv|margin-right=60%}}>DEX Bonus: 40<br>STR Bonus: 10<br><b>Weapon Size Factor: </b><br>Summation(6 + (1 - 3)) * 2<br>Summation(4) * 2<br>(4 + 3 + 2 + 1) * 2 = 20<br><br />
<b>Weighting: </b>(40 + (10 - 20)) / 4<br>(40 + (-10)) / 4 = 30 / 4 = 7 CER</div><br />
<br />
Dexterity is a prime requisite of the [[rogue]] and [[ranger]] [[profession]].<br />
