Question: What is required to learn to use a shield? Do some shields count as light/medium/heavy armor?
Answer: You need to acquire the "Armor Proficiency, Shield" Talent to use a shield as armor or as a weapon. As shields count as their own type of armor, they do not qualify for choices as light/medium/heavy armor.
This answer doesn't match the other 2 and should be changed:
