Greetings, Josh is correct and I updated the errata document accordingly. It can be viewed as stronger than Shield Bash at low Circles, but then that starts to change at higher Circles. Shield Bash gains access to the Shield Drive knack, and can benefit from Waterfall Slam in addition to follow-up a...

Greetings, Shamans are designed to be powerful at supporting a group. It's a focus and they are good at it, though that role is not for everyone.

If this was the case, it would spell out how you need to choose that talent when the knack is learned. However, each knack can only be used once per round. If you want to spend Karma on talents...

1) Additional services and shorter summoning time make summoning increase how accessible it is in a variety of situations.
