Dexterity

Dexterity measures a creature quickness, reflex, hand-eye coordination and overall grace in movements. High dexterity allows a creature to move around stealthily, and to evade direct melee damage and large AoE explosions.

Dexterity is the main attribute of nimble fighters and furtive characters that wear light equipment to prevent armor from interfering with their combat abilities and hold (or double-wield) small, fast weapons.

The following schools are affected by Dexterity to determine the effects of the skills:

School	Primary/Secondary Attribute
