Shield Master - Two Weapon attack question.

[Kheotour]

Greetings all, I hope this question has not been brought up before (I did a search but was not able to find anything that helped) but I am not 100% sure of a situation. I have a character that going the route of a shield and bastard sword expert. The thing that I am confused about is the wording of the feat "Shield Master." It states that you do not suffer any penalties on attack rolls made with a shield when wielding another weapon. Would the character still suffer penalties with the primary weapon (Bastard sword), or is there no attack roll penalties with the sword as well? From the wording it would seem that the character would still suffer attack roll penalties with the sword, but none at all with the shield.

Thank you.

I think Mr. Spalding is trying to say:

Or more than likely will cause your head to hurt from the physics of D&D...

But it is such a exquisite pain!
