It's been well hashed over how Power Attack favours 2H weapons over sword-and-board. Could this be fixed by a simple feat:
One-handed Power Attack
Prerequisites: Power Attack, Str 13, BAB +2
Benefit: When using Power Attack with a one-handed non-light weapon, you add 2 points of damage to a successful attack for every 1 point of BAB you put to PA.
OK, you still don't get the 2 for 1 on Str, but you do get the AC for the shield.
