Special: Able to use both hands with a -1 penalty to-hit.
This small wooden shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can use a bow or crossbow without penalty while carrying it. You can also use your shield hand 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 all attack rolls while doing so. This penalty stacks with those that may apply for fighting with your off hand or for fighting with two weapons. In any case, if you use a weapon or any other item in your off hand, you lose the buckler's Armor Class bonus until the start of your next turn. Similarly, you can cast a spell with somatic components using your shield arm, but you lose the buckler's Armor Class bonus until your next turn. You can't make a shield bash with a buckler. Using a buckler is treated as a light shield with regards to proficiency, as well as supporting feats. Bucklers cannot be made of steel.
