  • +6 to rolls for slippery terrain. This is not super common, and characters with DX 15+ aren't terribly likely to fail it anyway.
  • +4 to DX rolls to avoid knockdown. There are all of two situations in DF Exploits where this comes up: missing with a kick (p39) or losing a slam by a less than 2:1 ratio (p40). Both are unmodified DX rolls, so with 15 DX that really works out to a +1, and again, 15 is already plenty reliable.
  • +1 to Climbing and Acrobatics.
