Must remind you of one thing about Torg though. It's an entirely
skills-based system, which means that Dex 8 means nothing more
and nothing less than a default level of 8 in all Dex skills.
DEX doesn't actually mean adroitness, agility, suppleness or any
such thing - it approximates to that certainly, but you can
explain it in so many different ways that it essentially
abstracts to whatever you want.

There's functionally no difference in agility between Dex 8 with
Dance 3 and Acrobatics 3 to someone with Dex 11.
