2WF and Buckler - Why does penalty apply to all attacks?

[Letric]

Why does the -1 applies to all attacks while 2WFigthing?

You can also use your shield arm to wield a weapon (whether you are using an off-hand weapon or using your off hand to help wield a two-handed weapon), but you take a –1 penalty on attack rolls while doing so. This penalty stacks with those that may apply for fighting with your off hand and for fighting with two weapons.

Does it seem logical to you? Your main hand is not affected at all by the buckler, yet you still suffer a penalty for using one.

It's just for the weapon wielded using your shield arm.

Oh, so using TWF feat it would be -2/-3 then?

Sounds right to me, from what I am understanding.

Indeed.

And if you had a Claw/Claw/Bite character, your attacks would be at +0/+0/-1.
