As a DM I often got the impression that my players tend to be as agressive as possible, wielding large weapons and sacrificing AC for offense. Since all it takes for a monster like a troll or fiendish dire ape to score one lucky hit and rip me apart, I'd rather go for defense all the way and reduce the risk of a rending monster killing me. Taking Expertise at 9th allows me to go all defensive when such a monster appears and maybe trip at 12th. Most of the time all my friends need is chance to get off some spells or arrows while the tank takes the punishment. Having an estimated AC of 30+ will make it very hard being hit, thus improving the group's survivability.My specialized warhammer will still allow me to dish out 1d8+5 damage/attack without any magic. Not very much but maybe some nice DM will hand me a mighty weapon to dent my clan's foes! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />~Marimmar</blockquote>
