Dexterity

Precision and coordination when controlling movement.

Overview

Dexterity measures control of movement, including coordination, balance, agility, and precise handwork. It matters when a task must be executed accurately or the body must react quickly. Training can improve the associated Skill, while Dexterity supplies the underlying coordination.
