[QUOTE="monboesen, post: 2107742, member: 4647"] I think of dexterity as the thing that makes some people able to juggle or dance a coin along their knuckles with little training (I've never learned to do any of those very well even with a bit of training). Or the abililty to throw and catch a ball well (but strength is a factor in throwing too). In combat I would think it affects your ability to keep your balance and thereby move better. Hitting someone isn't really that complicated a movement (I'm sure it can be, if you are practicing fancy fencing or martial arts=weapon finesse) and I just don't see it affecting basic attack routines that much. And for the smaller more dexterous guy dancing around and hitting the larger and stronger guy in the crotch/other vital area. Well that aint so easy. Even with a little training it not that hard to protect your really vulnerable areas and accepts hits on less vital ones (arms, legs, shoulders). [/QUOTE]
