With the generic paladin kit having access to priest spells, is this hard coded/decided by the kits unique identifier?  If not, whats the best manner of giving a paladin kit access to basic druid spells rather then clerical ones?  I'm keen to avoid CLAB editing for this if possible.

Is it best to apply a negative value for magic resistances via Weidu byte editing or by .eff files?  I'm in for weidu editing over .eff files but thoughts are valued.

I'm keen to avoid CLAB editing for this if possible.

Essentially a kit is a clab, you're almost certainly going to need to edit one. It's only a text file anyway.

It's not hardcoded but it also isn't adjustable for individual kits. The easiest way to do this is to copy the druid spells (giving them new filenames), and then adding them to the kit via clab.

This is done with spells applied via clab. The kit would be added via WeiDU.

As I suspected.

However, you've said that CLAB editing represents the easiest manner of copying over the spells. Is there another manner which is construed as 'best practice?'

BG2 Kit Creation Series - by CamDawg

• Part One: Limitations of the Engine
  
• Part Two: Game Files Involved
  
• Part Three: Installing with WeiDU
  
• Part Four: Additional WeiDU Functions

The methods described in that series can be taken as "best practice."

(These tutorials are also posted in the tutorials boards of this forum. I was to lazy to look up those links though.)

I've already read those so there's no problem there.

Didn't Cam release one regarding a 'SuperKit' value or somesuch, that enabled a kit to be changed ingame?

There is AddKit() and AddSuperKit(), I don't know if there is a tutorial. They are scripting actions. For a Paladin you are going to want to use AddKit().

IF
   Global("AddMyKit","GLOBAL",0)
THEN
   RESPONSE #100
     SetGlobal("AddMyKit","GLOBAL",1)
     AddKit(MYKIT)
