Currently, as a Furrikin, I've got 18 dexterity.

As far as I've seen, it hasn't done a thing for me.

Can anyone explain what it actually does?

Oh, and:


As a druid, I don't go for wounds. And as a furrikin...I'm getting hit by generally every blade that flies my way.

Dexterity affects how useful the stances attainable from the Combat skillset will be. So if you had transcendent Combat as a furrikin, and say, stanced legs, and a warrior attempted to hit your legs, you'd have a much higher chance of dodging than a viscanti with transcendent combat doing the same.

Try to raise your COMBAT skill and make stances and parries, it'll be a great help.

WOW, I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT OR ANYTHING.

Dexterity is the most useless stat. It offers:

-A very, very small bonus to wounding. Almost too small to notice.
-A small advantage to stancing. The bonus is insignificant when compared to Combat skill.
-Affects chance of giving wounding afflictions (of course you still need the appropriate wounding level). Some people swear it's a noticeable difference, I don't.

Hmm. You would have thought it would give warriors a slightly greater to-hit chance.
