Dexterity => Accuracy ?

[mosser]

I'm very excited to play the game, and I've tried to get my head around the somewhat unorthodox attribute system.

BB players tell me dexterity affects action speed and reflexes.

 

But when I checked the official manual today I found something called "Dexterity Accuracy Bonus" in the Tables section (Table 1. page 69):

What is it? Is this information based on an older build or something coming in a day 1 patch?

It's based on an older build and is listed as error on their errata page: http://eternity.obsidian.net/manual/errata

The manual is long outdated and nonsense.  Don't go by what is in it.

And the errata needs errata as well.

Found this topic by searching outside the forums.

 

So, everything's wrong meanwhile?

 

Manual wrong.

Errata wrong.

Dexterity accuracy bonus wrong -> no such bonus.

The patch didn't correct the manual either. Just checked.

Only the ingame tutorial and tooltips are (mostly) reliable. The wiki has outdated information (from the beta), same as manual and errata. I think they'll correct the manual sooner or later (or some fan will), but unfortunately right now it's not the best source...
