Ways to increase Dex permenantly without a belt


Advice


Just like the subject line, are there ways to give me a +2 or more to Dex without a belt? A method without temporary spells like cats grace. My belt slot will be occupied with a belt of Giant Strength. Thanks all.

You mean like a Snakeskin Tunic, Ioun Stone (Deep Red Sphere), Belt of Physical Might (Strength and Dexterity), or Belt of Physical Perfection?

Alternatively you could play an Occultist and use your Transmutation Resonant Power to add Dex bonuses to your Belt of Giant Strength.

Why yes, this is exactly what I'm talking about. Thank you very much sir.


in addition to the things posted above if you can find a way to make yourself into a construct and have the craft construct feat you can grant yourself +2 stacking indefinitely to any ability score you want for 2500 gold a pop


Would a Tunic replace a cloak of resistance item slot? Are they both on the same part of the body?

How could a monk do this? I do not have the experience to know unfortunately. This idea has me intrigued

you would need to talk to your dm about giving you a long and difficult quest chain for something like this then you will also need them to be nice to allow a non caster to take craft constructs to allow you to be able to work on and modify yourself also i would suggest not abusing that ability if they do end up agreeing to letting you do this don't add to many ability scores or you may end up loosing the gift.

Just get it upgraded to a Belt of Physical Might.

How much would that cost?

3000 gold if you modify your your current belt with craft wondrous items, 10000 if you have to buy a new one

Speaking of construct parts, if you are playing a technology guide campaign, you can implant wirejack tendons for an always-on dex bonus.

Snakeskin Tunic uses the chest slot while a Cloak of Resistance uses the shoulders slot. So you're fine.

+2 Belt of Giant Strength has a price of 4,000gp.

+2 Belt of Physical Might has a price of 10,000gp.
Pay the difference when they are upgraded. 10,000-4,000 = 6,000gp.

Note: Lady-J's statement of 3,000gp is referencing the cost if you upgrade it yourself with Craft Wondrous Item (1/2 the price).

If you buy a new one (10,000gp) and sell your old one (4,000gp/2 = 2,000gp) then the price difference is 8,000gp.

Go Alchemist or an archetype that gets Mutagens as a class feature. Make the Mutagen a Dex-based mutagen. you do take a will penalty doing so, but it's a +4 Dex bonus and +2 Natural Armor bonus.
Granted, it is a "temporary" boost, but it's 10 mins per level- so it can last for a while, versus the duration of a potion.

A word about Snakeskin Tunic- it does grant a +1 AC bonus, so if you are already wearing armor, you're paying 8000g for a body slot Belt of Dex and some poison resistance.

Mutagen is a different dexterity bonus. It is not an enhancement bonus. He is looking for an Enhancement bonus.
