Dexterity is dodging rotten tomatoes
Strength is punching a tomato so hard that it turns into ketchup.

What we've got here is failure to communicate.

No, dexterity is removing the stem/core without crushing the tomato, or slicing it without smushing it

In DnD it's not an ability score since they use dexterity to mean agility anyway.

Dexterity is about precision, usually with your hands. It should be about more fine motor skills your stuff.

Agility is technically just being about to change directions quickly, but I feel like it applies to gross motor skills, like dodging or acrobatics.

The flights over DND definitions are endless though.

For tomatoes... Agility is dodging. Dexterity is catching without smooshing it.

Heck yeah. I like the special system!

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 23 hours ago

Agility is the quality of being breakable or becoming damaged under light stress or force in relation to the expected use for an object or system.
