| Do paladins need dexterity? |
|
I read somewhere they do but can't understand why. Melee weapons are based on strength right? |

Yeah, but you forgetting ranged weapons which are based on dexterity. Paladins tend to run out of mana fast.

Well, I figure you could get away with it. Dex is useful for lockpicking and makes your attacks a bit faster though. Just something to keep in mind.

There are melee weapons which use dexterity instead of strength, like rapiers etc. At least in the add-on... and those weapons need a LOT of dexterity to use.

To use dexterity based weapons,
Damage Dex' Strength Value
Master sword 65 65 - 1500
Rapier 50 50 - 600
Sword 18 10 - 10
With your strength only on 10 you could inflict 65 damage & if you learned
skills till you were a "master" you could then, for example, using only
forward/forward/forward/forward inflict the most devastating combination
attack (right swipe then hold with 2 hands) then (left swipe) then a
pirouette (full circle) then (Zorrow Z).
I went through to the end of the game like this.
