Shield proficiency - 22/10/21 02:18 PM
Unless it's solely for balancing issues, I'm wondering why the shield proficiency is locked to the fighter, cleric and ranger classes (not even druid?). Light and medium armor proficiencies can also be obtained through a few races, in addition to classes. Couldn't shield proficiency be merged to medium armor proficiency, or at least be somewhat extended?
For example, I would expect a shield dwarf to be able to use a shield.
It seems like a balancing issue because you could easily create a shield dwarf arcane caster with 19 AC in the tutorial (15 AC half plate + 2 shield + 2 Dex), but isn't the problem the overpowered half plate availability?
Edit: Removed edit, was correct the first time if the wiki is ok.
