Applying Perks to Races/NPC's

[BlackCompany]

So I am working on a modest, script free Race mod. Something to differentiate races from one another. And I am wondering:

 

Can I apply Perks to Races?

 

For instance, if I give a Race an ability that uses the "Perk to Apply" option to apply a perk...will it apply that perk to all members of the race? To the player? Or will it not work at all?

 

Seems that in theory this would work. However, I have of course read elsewhere that it is...less than dependable.

 

thanks for any info you might have.
