<p>Steelworks: /* List of skills that raise Body control */</p>
<hr />
<div>[[Main Page]] / [[Characteristics]] / [[Body]] / '''{{PAGENAME}}'''<br />
==Description==<br />
'''Body control''' is a [[characteristic]] that helps with weapon accuracy and [[stealth]]ing, and determines the [[mounts]] a [[player]] can ride.<br />
<br />
==Skills==<br />
[[Smithing]], [[carpentry]], [[tailoring]], and [[archaeology]] skills all offer decent Body Control skill, as do [[archery]], [[shield]] skills, and some weapon skills.<br />
<br />
Chopping trees with a [[longsword]] and [[two handed sword]] also offers good Body Control gains. Note: this only works until 20 skill, or 20 effective skill on Epic.<br />
<br />
Archery on an [[archery target]] is excellent until about skill level 30.<br />
<br />
