That will make things very easy on your side (ie perform hero.assign[Helper.ShieldTWF]) and less overhead if the background components take care of it correctly.

I can't add the actual "feat" or text but I can add the logic into d20. Will that work? You will also be able to remove the "shield" bash fixes you have in the community pack then.

That works for me. Thanks! Happy to remove the Shield Bash fix too since it was incomplete anyway (didn't work on specific magical weapons if I recall correctly).

This does mean to have everything work right you may need to go through all the community weapons and "tag" them as the right types. Well at least the shields at first. Thoughts?

I can't think of anything off the top of my head that groups blades, maces and polearms together, but that doesn't mean there isn't something. Perhaps deity favored weapons, which I haven't looked at. If anyone knows of anything, please post about it. In any case, I would go with the bows, crossbows and shields for now unless someone else comes up with something.
