Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When building a Tactician, if you pick two Kits that give the same type of damage bonus (e.g +0/+0/+4 melee damage from Mountain and +2/+2/+2 melee damage from Sword & Board), you are supposed to pick one bonus to benefit from. Currently, Forge Steel has no way to do this, and instead just combines the bonuses together which results in incorrect Abilities.

Describe the solution you'd like
Character Sheets with multiple Kits should have a way to determine which bonuses to use (either via the Edit mode, or directly in the sheet via options). These decisions should only exist when there is a legitimate reason to choose one over the other (i.e no reason to choose +1/+1/+1 over +2/+2/+2, but +0/+0/+4 is a meaningful decision point)

Describe alternatives you've considered
Abilities could just always list all kit bonuses alongside the rest of the ability and never add their damage during auto-calculate. Abilities that can be melee or ranged (like Hammer and Anvil) already do this to account for different damage bonuses.

PDF Export would need to be changed to default to showing kit damage separately, rather than automatically factoring them in. Currently, exported abilities that can be both melee and ranged don't account for kit bonuses at all, unless you have a bonus for both kinds.

Additional context
