If I'm not mistaken, there is. Don't some of the Weapon Expert and Mastery talents increase one's defense?

The problem is that only shields are worthless for defending with without talent.

Re: Defending w/o Talent
Yes, but that's 'expert' training vs. basic. Even basic training should be better than no training, shouldn't it?

Re: Defending w/o Talent
In real-life, yes. In game mechanics, not necessarily. I think defend is fine the way it is.

Re: Defending w/o Talent
You may not be able to defend with a shield without talent but it still stops hits, does it not?

Re: Defending w/o Talent
You're probably right. I get too caught up in the weeds sometimes.

Re: Defending w/o Talent
That must be an error though, right? Common sense dictates that a character w/ a shield can use the 'defend' option even if the rules don't explicitly state this.
