My bad I mentioned the wrong tab but you found the right one.

Back to the drawing board. :_(
Why do you have 30 bootstraps? Nothing in my idea needed bootstraps actually.

Attached to this post is a .user file that shows a working proof of concept that I just did using the Light Steel Shield. If you have this source "Shield House Rules" turned off you get the CORE shield. If you have it turned on you get your new light shield that gives +2 bonus.

I tested with some Shield Feats and they all treat the shield just like the CORE version.

When working this kind of stuff its best to do Proof of Concepts. Do one shield and test it out in lots of different ways before spending time do all shields only to find it may not work the way you expect. In this case my PoC appears to be working...

So I am missing something about what your trying to accomplish?
