Are monks still considered unarmored while wielding a shield?

[Tol Phontos]

As the title says.
I haven't found anything about this while searching the net, so any input is welcome.

[Megistone]

As you did (not) find out, nowhere is stated that using a shield makes you armored. So, it doesn't.

[HumbleGamer]

Unfortunately, yes.
Using a shield doesn't make you armored.

[Grankless]

I don't know about unfortunately, but yes. Shields are not armor. They are shields. They do not make you armored.

[Nefreet]

Have seen many shielded Monks. Shields are their own items. Neither armor nor weapon.
