A warrior that has 0 dex mod and is for some reason stripped of his armor (heat metal, stolen, captured, etc) will be at a disadvantage to one that is more well rounded and has the dex bonus for medium.Feats change up a few things, but even if we ignore them then more than one class finds it useful.Druid for one it helps if they decide to wear hide armor.I don't think it is underwhelming, but with everything you have to have it in mind to maximize it's potential.</blockquote>
