First off, thank you for making this character generator! It is an awesome tool and very much appreciated! 
I do have one question related to equipment. When the book lists “Melee weapon of choice” for archetype equipment, the character generator does not allow you to select a shield. Modiphius-SteveH mentioned here that “A shield is a weapon like any other”. If a shield is a weapon, should shields be available for the “Melee weapon of choice” option? Or are shields a special subset/class of weapon that doesn’t apply there?
