If you want to expend a spell slot for them, I don't see the harm.It can be dispelled. As a first level spell, that is pretty easy... in fact, automatic.Most characters don't need both hands all the time. The biggest possibly benefited would be the Arcane Trickster and Eldritch Knight, both of whom could dual wield. Even then, you are only potentially boosting the AC by 3 over RAW, hardly game-breaking or anything.Most armors don't have a strength requirement.If you don't like it, don't worry about it, you don't have to use it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />At the point we're talking about, ACs are typically well into the 20's via other means. Unless you are in a game with no magical items (VERY rare IME), an AC 21 is hardly awesome.I mean, you can have a fighter with AC 21 as soon as you can afford the plate. The fighter is not really sacrificing much, if anything, to get there, either. Need a STR 15, probably much higher anyway. Sacrificing damage? Not much with dueling for the sword and board compared to TWF and GWM, especially for battlemaster, it isn't much for the AC you would get instead.</blockquote>
