Is there any penalty for using a shield with no armor check penalty (MW buckler, or darkwood buckler or shield) for a character who doesn't have proficiency with shields (i.e. rogues)?
As there is no armor check penalty, no subsequent non-proficiency penalty should be assessed for any actions the rogue does.
For casters there would still be an issue with arcane spell failure, but rogues wouldn't have that problem.
