'''Body control''' is a [[characteristic]] that helps with accuracy and [[stealth]]ing, and determines the [[mounts]] a [[player]] can ride.
[[Smithing]], [[carpentry]], and [[tailoring]] skills all offer decent Body Control skill, as do combat skills such as [[archery]] and [[fighting]]certain weapon skills.
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.
