Applying EFF files to kits via clab****.2da!, Is it possible? Options

[Sikret]

Hi,

To grant THAC0 and damage bonuses against specific IDs (races, alignments, et al) to a weapon, we make an EFF file and then add it to the weapon's equipping abilities through "Use EFF file" format. For example Daystar's bonus against evil creatures or Dragon's Bane's bonus vs. dragons have been made in this way. I can add such bonuses to weapons and have no problem in item making. So far so easy!

But now assume that we want to make a kit (say a fighter kit) rather than a weapon, and want the kit to have such a bonus (ex: a damage bonus against dragons). Hence comes the question:

Is AP_****.eff a valid command to be added to clab****.2da? If not, how can we make a kit with such bonuses? For example, a damage bonus vs. (say) a particular race such as dragons? (or vs. other specific IDs?)

One possible way just occurred to me though I have not tested it:

Is it possible to firstly make a .spl file in which the eff file is added through "Use EFF file" code to the spell effects (under an extension header) and just then we apply the new spell to clab****.2da? Will this give the bonus to the kit?

Thanks!
