Wanting to get into modding - have some questions

So I want to learn modding for 7DTD, as I had an idea for my own Starting Classes. Before I get started though, I was wondering - is it possible to create "classes" that have perk points already placed?

Like say for example, I create a Survivalist class, that would start with a point in Rifles, Living off the Land, Iron Gut, Huntsman, and Animal Tracking. Is this possible to do? Or would I only be able to give the class starting items?
