Also your thing.

If you only bought Enhanced Block, it would only help with blocks and not make your dodges/parries any better.
That's one way to look at it.

The other way is "90 points is too much for what a large shield gives if the Character just spends $90 on it". And, at the time I hadn't yet latched on to my love of saying "1 point Signature Gear, done".

For someone who wants to beef up the DR of their shields, rather than buying it raw, wouldn't it be simpler to design that as "Affliction: Advantage, Damage Resistance" ?
Simpler than "Gadget, Breakable 0% X DR"? I strongly disagree.
