Never saw a final followup but this thread helped me do what poster asked about:
I wanted to give Shadowknight and Paladin Defensive and Evasive Disciplines. Class numbering: Warrior=1, Paladin=3, Shadowknight=5. For the classes field in items this is indeed binary, change it from 1 (warrior only) to binary 10101=21. Then modify spells_new to modify the spells for Defensive Discipline and Evasive Discipline to have the same value in the classes3 and classes5 fields as the classes1 field. This sets the levels knights can get the applicable disciplines. Then export spells_new using Georges EQ_spell_importer, then make a backup of your spells_us.txt, then rename spells_useNEW.txt to spells_us.txt. Final step is to copy the modified spells_us.txt to your everquest client directory (may want to back that one up as well). Pally and Shadowknight can now buy tomes from warrior tome vendor and hand them into their own Guildmaster to learn the tome. You do get the "i don't need this" text coming from the quests file but the discipline gets learned and book consumed. The book has the appropriate classes description as well. After learning the tome you must log out then back in to get the combat ability to show up. The combat abilities give appropriate descriptions, timers work and endurance drains appropriately. Parsing on a giant in Great Divide the abilities seem to be working as intended. If Sony had made a change like this on live years ago they would still be getting my money. Have fun!
