Honestly curious on this. One little detail we spotted was that rangers are not trained in shield use. Same goes for barbarians.
Druids, clerics and bards all get shield use - surely these classes are less martially focused than rangers and barbarians (especially now bards are full casters and rangers don't have magic)?
I know its a small thing and I'm not even a big ranger player but I would really love to know what the reasoning for this was please?

I didn’ See the barbarian couldn’t use shield. My favourite PF1 character was a half orc superstitious barbarian with a scimitar and shield going for as many cries as he could. Good fun he was.
My guess is the are deciding on the melee style for each of the martials for us. Rangers barely ge5 any bow support which is the biggest mystery. While big two handed weapons are common for barbarians, I think the should have the option to use a shield. Same for the ranger.
