(Yet) Another Question About Shield Champions and Shield Proficiency.

[isdestroyer]

So, I've been looking through the forums and the consensus is that until errata comes out, the shield champion archetype for the brawler is not proficient with shields as weapons. I've looked through the FAQ's, but have not been able to find anything. I did however, find this;

Shield Champion (Archetype)

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A shield champion is proficient with all simple weapons and with shields as weapons. She is also proficient with light armor, and with bucklers, light shields, and heavy shields. This ability replaces the brawler's weapon and armor proficiency.

emphasis mine

Since this is coming from the SRD, does this count as errata? Or have I misread or misunderstood something?

Any help or clarifications are very much appreciated.

I believe it was in the ACG errata. (This post seems to confirm it.)

EDIT: Yep!

Page 2 of the ACG errata wrote:

In the Shield Champion archetype’s Weapon and Armor Proficiency ability, at the end of the first sentence, add “and with shields as weapons”.

The errata also made all brawlers proficient with shields as armor.
