W.P. shield skill and the Cyber-Knight Psi-shield

[SirLitimus]

May I use the W.P. Shield skill to stack with the Psi-shield?

While this should be in the normal Rifts section. I would say yes you could use WP Shield with Psi-Shield.

The Cyber-Knight already gets the W.P. Shield skill (direct quote) at level 2, under zen combat, but with very slightly better parry bonuses, so you can't pick the skill a second time and have the bonuses stack. As the cyber-knight doesn't get the skill until level two, I suppose you could select W.P. shield at level one to gain a slight advantage by receiving some of the strike and parry bonuses a level earlier than you would if you waited to get it at level two. But as some of the parry bonuses are actually a level earlier for the cyber-knight, the benefit is minimal.
I don't know why they didn't just give the cyber-knight W.P. Shield at level one instead of waiting until two and handicapping a class that is supposed to be a shield expert!

I forgot about them getting it at level 2. I didn't have my books near at hand when I answered the OP's question. You are correct about the oddity of getting it at level 2 rather than level 1.
