For the purpose of determining your accuracy with bows and rifles, your agility is treated as if it were 4 points higher.

Steady Hands is a free skill in the Bow and Rifle skill tree. It is automatically unlocked for the player upon purchasing the parent node of the Bows and Rifle skill tree, along with Draw a Bead, another free skill in the same tree.

After unlocking this skill, the player's aim variance is reduced by 2° when firing rifles or bows. This is equivalent to the missile weapon aim variance bonus that would normally be achieved if the player's Agility were 4 points higher.^[1]

Factions That Teach Steady Hands

Steady Hands is not taught by any of Qud's persistent factions. However, procedurally generated factions such as village factions can teach randomly chosen skills as part of their water ritual.
