In D&D (with decent magic item rewards) I find it to be essential to their badassdom. If the warriors have AC 20+, monsters will miss more often, clanging off of armor, or being dodged, and contributing to their survival. It's one of things that makes them stand out from casters. I make sure many monsters target the "in-your-face" warriors so those warriors are tanking effectively. It's part of the fantasy to get all that attention and survive it. That is why I love a Champion Fighter who the DM lets do their damn job instead of finding ways to nerf or minimize their badassdom.When paper-thin casters get targeted, they are afraid, especially when monsters hit so hard in modern 5E design. I like when warriors can trust their defenses to be less afraid. If the math says the bad guys hit everybody most of the time, the warriors don't feel very tough or tanky. It takes them out of the fantasy.</blockquote>
