Need help understanding kits (Mechanics & RP)

[LuvHandles]

I have been toying with the idea of adding the Solar Channeler kit to my character Taron who is currently a Cleric/Fighter/Bodyguard/Silverstar, but I have mechanical and RP concerns about it.

First, I couldn't find a clear explanation on how the kits work searching on the forums. They are discussed in a number of posts, but I couldn't see a definitive thread on the mechanic. On the wiki it describes them like classes, but I don't understand how the abilities for the class replace the original abilities. I am specifically interested in understanding the Solar Channeler, but I'd like to get a better understanding of the kit mechanic in general.

It seems like you start a conversation to enable putting xp towards it, so does that exp then not count towards regular leveling? And how does the level replacement work? I assume that I could progress no farther in Solar Channeler that I have in the cleric base class (Level 9). Would a cleric lose his domains? Could someone give some specifics on how the kits work or point me to where I can get more information?

Additionally, would it make sense for a Moon worshipper to take the kit? Taron qualifies mechanically, but is there a selunite equivalent? Maybe IC'ly it would be Lunar channeler? Or be considered some variant to Silverstar (which also requires the True Believer feat). Perhaps instead of a Solar, one of Selûne's Shards could be the entity that appears during the Ritual of Feathers? Once I get a better idea of the mechanics, I may to discuss this with the DM team, perhaps in PMs, to see if this is viable from an RP perspective and how we might proceed.

Solar Channeler was never released.

Is there somewhere that shows what kits are currently released? Is it only the paladin kits? Or I seem to recall something about a Long Death monk too ...

My character had a brush in with some monks of the long death in his backstory. It'd be cool to see some in the server

Ok then. I guess my confusion was because I used the cleric kits feat and it showed one option, Solar Channeler. So I hopped over to the the wiki and searched for Solar Channeler and it shows up in the class list right below silverstar. I guess we need to add a note to Solar Channeler wiki page saying that it wasn't released, just to prevent further confusion.
