    • Disappearing Dexterity


      I was noticing lately that I'm getting more beat up than I should. I took a look at my stats and to my surprise, my dexterity is at 0! I opened up some old saved games and my dexterity has been as high as 19 before. None of my other statistics went down. How could this have happened? And more importantly, how can I fix it (Without buying 19 dexterity potions or replaying most of the game)? I tried downloading Pandora's Box to artificially boost my dexterity, but it seems that the program is useless to me unless I register it. Any ideas?

      Hello TurtleWings,

      By any chance have you ever equipped the bow of patience? If so then that is your problem. It drops your dex down to 0 to le you demonstrate your endless supply of patience.

      Personally I find the bow quite a riot, but I can certainly understand the frustration of it. If you open up a saved game to before you equipped it then you will be alright.

    • Yes, I have used the bow of patience. Now I know better. Thanks for the info.
