[QUOTE="PHATsakk43, post: 9510067, member: 7041071"] The kits themselves were explicitly for all warriors—that would have taken a significant rewrite to change. There is an entire section where kits are introduced which discusses how the kits are available for all warriors including how even paladins could be pirates in certain situations. In the same section it does say that some kits are explicitly forbidden to some classes (with no examples provided). There was another Sage Advice reply regarding the Bladesinger’s specialization being contrary to the PHB rule, and Skip says that the bladesinger’s specialization is not a weapon specialization but actually a new type of single-weapon fighting style specialization which is open to all classes so long as they take the kit and that bladesingers are still prohibited from weapon specialization due to their multiclass. Which sounds like a bladesinger could be a M/T or even a C/M in some circumstances. This at least implies that kits that require weapon specialization are prohibited to characters that are prohibited from specialization except where that’s explicitly stated. Again, kits are a bit of a mess. They were never included in any core rulebook or even hinted at even. [/QUOTE]
