Dexterity is one of the six ability scores.
Dexterity measures agility, reflexes, and coordination.
Dexterity Checks
A Dexterity check can model any attempt to move nimbly, quickly, quietly, gracefully, or with balance. Other possibilities include:
- Stay on your feet in a tricky situation
- Perform acrobatic stunts such as backflips and rolls
- Pick locks
- Perform legerdemain or nimble card tricks
- Juggle
- Steer a speeding chariot through a forest
- Disable mechanical traps
- Wriggle free of restraints
- Play a stringed instrument
- Craft a miniscule, detailed item such as a ship in a bottle
Reflex Saves
The higher modifier between your Dexterity and Perception is added to your Reflex saving throws.
Defense
Normally your defense equals:
8 + your PB + your Dexterity modifier + your total armor bonus, to a maximum of 25.
Cover or a shield can increase your defense even further.
Stealth Mark
When you take the Hide action, how well you’re hidden is determined by your Stealth mark. This normally equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier. If you're proficient in Stealth or another relevant skill, you also add your PB to this total.
Attack and Damage Rolls
You can add your Dexterity modifier to your attack roll and your damage roll when you attack with certain weapons, such as a rapier or slingshot.
