I enjoy playing with the free archetype rules. When you want to turn your character into a masterful shield user, protecting themselves and the innocent, you would pick the Bastion archetype.
Only problem is that the archetype has the Shield Block feat requirement, meaning that you either are stuck with Human as your race or you already are a class adept with shields, being given Shield Block at level 1 or 2.
Apparently in the past, Quick Shield Block required Reactive Shield (which Bastion gives as the dedication) so it made sense back then. But now? I dont really see why a Bastion character would ever spend their ONLY reaction on raising the shield, instead of using all the archetype feats given for blocking.
Maybe it will get fixed in the remaster? Remove the requirement and give Shield Block in the Dedication feat instead of Reactive Shield? or am I overlooking something? Seems to just disable the feat from being taken as a free archetype for most classes that arent human.
