Dexterity, often shortened to DEX, is one of the core attributes. Dexterity is used in calculations where the character's speed and motor skills are required. Such situations could include handling crossbows, running quickly, tying knots, picking locks, trying not to slip on slippery floor, and (to use a modern-day example) typing. Internally, DEX is used to calculate the Running Speed, To-Hit Modifier, Evasion Class, and Running Duration of a character. This article is an attribute-related .
