Effects
Just as a strength spell can increase a subject’s physical power for a time, cat’s grace can enhance a subject’s Dexterity. All abilities and skills that are Dexterity‑based may be affected by an enhanced Dexterity score, including a subject’s reaction adjustment, missile attack adjustment, defensive adjustment, Dexterity‑based proficiency scores, and adjustments to thief abilities. The exact amount of Dexterity gained depends on the subject’s class; multi‑classed characters use the most favorable die.
Class Dexterity Gain
Rogue 1d8 points
Warrior 1d6 points
Wizard 1d6 points
Priest 1d4 points
The spell cannot confer a Dexterity score of 20 or more, and it is not cumulative with any other Dexterity‑enhancing magical or psionic power. Subjects without Dexterity scores gain a –1 bonus to AC and a +1 to attack rolls with missiles for the duration of the spell.
