The stat modifier is included in the first number, but yeah things like rage, brutal critical, sneak attack and poison are all separate

I don't think this is correct. It's true if it's like a poison sting where you take 1d4 piercing damage and then have to save to avoid like 3d6 poison damage. Since the poison is a save made after the hit is confirmed, it's a second source of damage. Sneak attack and bonus rage damage are not separate sources of damage in the same way that a frostbrand's frost damage is not considered separate from the weapon damage.

Ah yeah I'm not sure how the game does it, I'm thinking of 5e rules. I assume they're the same but who knows!

Also, like all heavy armor it gives disadvantage on stealth checks. But yeah, for classes that can wear it it's generally the best and that is reflected in its base cost
