Simple answer.... free evolutions are not selected... the wording specifically states evolutions cannot be selected more than once, unless otherwise stated.

I have a question/gripe involving ambiguity about shields and disarming.

In my specific case it involves a Tower Shield, so I would like to focus on them as the topic. I have a well armored cleric with a level in Fighter so he can walk around the battlefield and heal a little easier(he is a Dwarf so admittedly, he walks slow).

On two occasions, I have had my Tower Shield disarmed.
#1: My Tower Shield was disarmed by a Girallon, while I was using it for Total Cover.
#2: I was grappled and prone and it was disarmed again, by a Girallon.

Now I was actually asked if I had a locked Gauntlet on my Tower Shield, which to me seems not only redundant, but not permitted because it specifically states that a Locked Gauntlet it is to be used with a weapon.

I think this topic deserves some serious discussion and a rules clarification. Needless to say I wont be using Tower Shields anymore, they already come with a boatload of drawbacks(-10 ACP and -2 to attacks anyone?) and yet can be so easily taken out of the picture, given current RAW. Current RAW has them as easy to disarm as a dagger, a 45lbs dagger.
