    Q: What is required to learn to use a shield? Do some shields count as light/medium/heavy
    armor?
    A: You need to acquire the Armor Proficiency, Shield Talent as shields count as their own type of armor.

    this is actually two questions rolled into one and you don’t clearly answer the second question

    Q: What is required to learn to use a shield? Do some shields count as light/medium/heavy
    armor?
    A: You need to acquire the “Armor Proficiency, Shield” Talent to use a shield as armor or as a weapon. As shields count as their own type of armor, they do not qualify for choices as light/medium/heavy armor.

    Yes, it does answer it, because the fact you have to take Armour Proficiency (Shield) to get Shields. It is a unique talent, different than any other Armour Proficiency, and implies that they do NOT belong to Light, Medium, or Heavy Armour categories.

    This needs to change based upon the other part of the errata that says getting Shield Proficiency gives Weapon Proficiency (Shield) and vice versa.

    here is my suggested answer

    Q: What is required to learn to use a shield? Do some shields count as light/medium/heavy
    armor?
    A: You can acquire the “Armor Proficiency, Shield” or “Weapon Training, Shield” Talent to use a shield as armor or as a weapon. As shields count as their own type of armor, they do not qualify for choices as light/medium/heavy armor.
