"If you want the DS to use all Mage items and some Druid items, give him the item exclusion of an Invoker, and then keep the altered Druid items in the Override folder."
As I soon learned the hard way, the item exclusion also affects spell selection! To top that off, there are ugly green lines around the icons of spells that are part of your "Specialist School"! So you choose Invoker item exclusion, you then get lumbered with the Invoker spell exclusions.
Fortunately, the Generalist Mage is counted as a Kit as well as a class, the item problem seems to have been solved. In Kitlist.2da you replace the 0x08000000 with 0x00004000.
A patch macro to make the Druid items unusable for Specialist mages would require Bit manipulation or the ability to increment the relevant Byte by a fixed amount. Failing that I will have to manually alter the items to exclude mage kits.
