| 10 + Dexterity Modifier |
Dexterity ties directly into a character's main defensive stat, Armor Class. The higher the Dexterity score, the higher the armor class, the less chance you'll get hit.
Finesse Weapons, such as daggers and rapiers, allow a character to use Dexterity in place of Strength when attacking and dealing damage.
| Roll for Initiative |
|---|
| 1d20 + Dexterity Modifier (Initiative Bonus) |
Dexterity affects Initiative which determines turn order when combat begins. Characters with a higher Dexterity will have a higher bonus to their Initiative roll when entering combat.
