Hey, I was searching through AoN recently, and came across something very strange. Automaton's reinforced chassis feat, which looks like most free medium armor feats to me, had the following note: "PFS Note An automaton character with the Reinforced Chassis feat uses their unarmored proficiency." This seems extremely strong to me, and I was unable to find anything in the FAQ on the matter; is this actually the case? I'd love to play a strength monk that basically gets half plate at level 10 but it very much feels like this is under the "too good to be true" category. here's the link to the feat on AoN so you can look for yourselves: https://2e.aonprd.com/Feats.aspx?ID=3095

It's because the the Guns & Gears remastered dropped the Medium Armor rule.
So PFS issued a PFS clarification that it used unarmed since it didn't say at all what to use.
However the 2026 spring errata added the Medium Armor sentence back in.
Looking through the Character Options page, I can't find the Unarmed Proficiency note, so presumably it was removed after the Spring errata and AoN just missed removing the note.
Also this took me an unreasonable amount of time to figure it out and I'm still not 100% confident.
