 The more [[Dodging]] skill you have, and the less [[encumbrance rating|encumbering]] your body armour, the more EV you gain out of the dexterity stat. Dexterity also boosts [[shields]], certain weapon's damage ([[Short Blades]], [[Long Blades]], [[Ranged Weapons]]), and weapon accuracy.
-A [[Hill Orc]] in [[plate armour]] will prefer a [[ring of evasion]], but a Dodging-based fighter will appreciate dexterity for the general stat boosts. Dex boosts damage, EV, and gives a small boost to SH and stealth -- that's a lot for certain characters. Even then, don't be afraid to swap in a resistance as needed.

-The effect of dexterity is linear, so it doesn't matter how much Dex you had before wearing this ring. This analysis ignores the effect of shields and weapons. So, even if a [[ring of evasion]] would give more EV, you may prefer this ring instead.
+The effect of dexterity is linear, so it doesn't matter how much Dex you had before wearing this ring.
 Since dexterity scales with Dodging skill itself, a ring of dexterity becomes stronger as you progress through the game. 10 Dodging may be high for an XL 10 character, but an endgame character can afford to max out the skill.
