    SMN & SCH may be mostly buffer/debuffer/crowd control, since that's the role(s) Yoshi-P said was most lacking in v1.

    The weapon defines the class. If a weapon could be for 2+ classes, the game would have to ask you each time you equip it, "which class did you want to switch to?". Probably won't happen.

    that argument would only work if both summoner and scholar could equip the same kind of books.

    they could easily make subclasses of books that were only usable by their specified class. Much like the thm and cnj weapons are functionally identical but named different things. The semantics of it is that they are different items, but they are still basically staves and wands.

    It sounded like he was talking about a weapon for multiple classes (i.e. Vorpal Sword of Vorpaling, Requires: WAR, RDM). That won't really work.

    As for the SCH/SMN book thing, yes, they could make any arbitrary classification (grimoire/tome, paperback/hardback) or even no obvious classification. The important thing is the "Requires:" part. "Grimoire A, Requires SCH" and "Grimoire B, Requires SMN" would be perfectly fine, though confusing somewhat.
