Dexterity

From NecroWiki

Dexterity is a measure of a character's agility and speed. Each point of dexterity improves the character's ability to control their attacks and defend themselves, raising their attack bonus by 1 as well as their defense bonus by 1 up to a dexterity level of 10. For each point above level 10, attack and defense each increase by 0.5. Each point of dexterity also increases the maximum movement points of the character by eight, as well as increasing the amount number of items the character may carry.

Dexterity can either be trained or can be acquired through equipment.
