In Expansion games, Dexterity also affects player character's chance of blocking when equipping a shield, auric shield or shrunken head. Player character Dexterity varies depending on chosen class at start of game: Amazon Assassin Barbarian Druid Necromancer Paladin Sorceress 25 20 20 20 25 20 25 Player character can increase Dexterity by allocating attribute points, while player character, mercenary and pets can also gain bonuses from equipped items, and charms in inventory in Expansion games. Typically, a character only needs enough Dexterity to meet item requirements, or achieve desired chance of blocking in Expansion games, although more experienced players with better equipped characters applying physical attack damage may allocate more points if it increases that damage, usually at the expense of Vitality.
