== Description ==

The target creature's [[Dexterity]] is increased by +4.

== Gameplay Notes ==

While this spell can be applied multiple times, the effects do not stack.

This spell is aimed at boosting the ranged to hit values, and AC, of a creature. The main bonuses of +4 [[Dexterity]] are +2 to hit with [[ranged]] weapons, +2 [[AC]], and a +2 bonus on [[reflex save]]s, as well as +2 in any skills which are related to dexterity.

Archers and low-armoured creatures gain the most benefits, since the additional armour class can help deflect other missiles aimed at them, while they hit more often with their own attacks.

Creatures using [[weapon finesse]] also gain the +2 bonus to their melee attack rolls, of course.

It is one of the best spells, at earlier levels where +4 dexterity items are unknown, to help [[Rogue]]s hit more often with [[sneak attack]] at range, or with weapon finesse in melee using light weapons.

== NWN comparison ==
*NWN was faithful to the DnD 3.0 version of this spell which granted 1d4+1 to the stat.
