How can I train dexteriy for a heavy weapon user?
Posted On: November 7, 2023

Dexterity is trained by using light weapons however I have one medium guy focued on using sabers. Is there any way to train dexterity other than switching to a light weapon for a while?


This is a really valuable stat as it determines attack/block speeds.


Question from user Enigma at stackexchange.


Answer:

Weight actually has nothing to do with XP rate for Dexterity, despite the description. It's all based on the ratio of cut to blunt Damage on the weapon.


From memory there are sabers with very low blunt damages, that should level both dexterity and saber skills (along with melee skills). A fast weapon with only low cut damages (like wakizashi) will level up faster dexterity though. .


You can also make him use ranged weapons, reloading crossbows level up dexterity. I'm not sure it would be faster than a fast cutting weapon.
