Ok, question. Dragon Shaman gains proficiency with all simple weapons, light armor, medium armor and shields. I purposefully removed/negated the proficiency with medium armor and shields on the character sheet to see what you all thought about losing them to replace with something else.
With going to the 2wpn fighting option, and 2wpn defense, shields are useless to me. (yeah, unless you get him an animated heavy steel shield) What options would be good to replace it with?
Options I could see:
Proficiency with single martial or exotic weapon? (Bastard Sword would be interesting!)
Extra Feat/s (Proficiency with Medium armor is a feat, as well as shields. But, can't see being able to be granted 2 feats for losing medium armor and shields)
Ideas?
