Base dexterity doesn't grant defense?

I'm not sure if this is a bug or intentional. A dexterity rating of 10 should give at least 3 defense. My character only seems to get defense from equipment and added dexterity, but not from the initial 10. Is there some penalty I'm unaware of?

I think that defense bonus from dexterity is based on (dex - 10), so it is intended.

Yeah, 10 is considered base line for attribute calculations. You don't get bonuses until you go over it and if you're under it you could have penalties depending on the attribute (yeeks for example start with penalties to life due to low con).
Except luck, luck baseline is 50 (same principal applies, over 50 good under is bad).
