📋 About This Mod

NEW Version 1. 3 I haven\'t updated in a long time, but I decided I\'d clean up this mod a bit. I\'ve tweaked a few things as well as added a new two handed perk. After finding out that the game only takes one version of a perk tree and not the individual perks, I decided to combine all the perks i\'ve made into one tree. And since the CK won\'t let me create a new perk tree without crashing the game, i\'ve added these perks to the least useful ( and therefore most compatible) skill tree, Speechcraft! I didn\'t touch the vanilla speech perks though, so no worries if you\'re a fan of them. ------------- New Perks ------------- (New v1. 3) Combative Reflexes - Honed martial skill allows you to occasionally take advantage of gaps in an enemy\'s defense when they power attack. As such, the world seems to slow down around you for 2 seconds. Requires 60 Two Handed. (This is set to occur only half the time, so you can\'t end up relying on it entirely as a method of avoiding attacks.) Precision Strikes - Training to strike with pinpoint accuracy increases your damage when wielding daggers by 10% (rank 1) and 25% (rank 2). Requires 50 and 70 Sneak respectively. Adrenaline Surge - While wielding daggers, enemy powerattacks seem to slow down the world around you for 3 seconds. Requires 60 Sneak (REMOVED in v1. 3) Relentless Assault - Falling below 30% health while focused on an enemy and wielding daggers gives heightened reaction time and recovery for 8 seconds. Requires 90 Sneak Dovahkiin Regeneration - Doubles your magicka and stamina regen. This is now an OPTIONAL perk, and isn\'t required in order to access anything else. Taking this perk will make the game-play a bit faster, for those who never liked waiting around for their magicka to regen. Breath of the Dovahkiin - Reduces the recovery time of your shouts by 20% Requires 70 Speechcraft Will of the Dovahkiin - Enemy attacks, both melee and ranged, provide a 10% chance of steeling your resolve against defeat, restoring a small portion of health, stamina and magicka. Requires 100 Speechcraft Two Handed Flurry - Increases your swing speed with 2 handed weapons by 25%. I reduced it from 40% and upped the requirements to 50 Two Handed Ward - Blocking with a 2 handed weapon now creates a medium strength (80 pt) spell ward in front of your character. This now correctly states itself as an 80pt ward. Bolster - Targeting a staggering an enemy grants chance for a small burst of health and stamina regeneration. Requires 70 Two Handed Disarming Shot - Gives your arrows a 25% chance to disarm your target. Now requires 50 Archery Enraging Shot - Gives your arrows a 20% chance to throw your target into a frenzy for 15 sec. Now requires 70 Archery Dovahkiin Professional - Increases your attack speed with a bow by 30%. Stacks with Quick Shot from the Archery tree. Now requires 90 Archery Force Guard - When attacked by an enemy, you have a 20% cha
