The general idea is to make a single-handed, no shield fighter viable.
The path would be available to all classes that start with Weapon Proficiency: Martial, and would confer 2 AC at level 1 and +1 AC for every 5th level (to a max of +7, fair trade off for no enchantments on that slot). Equipping a shield of any kind would obviously remove this bonus and apply a sizable penalty to Attack Bonus (-10?).
Just an idea I've been kicking around, could add some cool diversity.
