Role-Playing Perks - Melee - One-Handed Two-Handed and Block Skill Tree Overhaul

Role-Playing Perks - Melee

One-Handed Two-Handed Block

This is the second in my series of my skill tree overhauls 'Role-Playing Perks', which aims to add more impactful decisions to the game which help role-playing. This module focuses on melee combat, covering the One-Handed, Two-Handed and Block skills.

The major changes are outlined here, all perks are detailed further down the page.

● One-Handed ●

This is now the bread and butter combat skill. More perks have been added for different playstyles (dual wielding, spellsword, single weapon), and each type of weapon has its own theme. Strike rapidly and get rewarded for avoiding being blocked with swords. Axes deal high damage with critical hits. Disrupt and even knock down your enemies using power attacks with maces. Hand to hand also gets some love, allowing it to level up and scale with your one-handed skill.

● Two-Handed ●

While One-Handed is more versatile, Two-Handed is now much more devastating. Damage is increased, and power attacks can have special effects depending on your weapon. Deal more damage if you keep your distance with greatswords. Let your power grow as your health depletes with battleaxes. Stagger everyone around you with warhammers, or simply knock people away.

● Block ●

Changes to Block are relatively minor overall. Some vanilla perks have been rebalanced, and others made more reliable. Time slow has been removed, and magic users get a perk to make shields more viable for them. Blocking with weapons now has its own perks, which let you improve your offense while on the defensive.

Requirements

Attack Speed Framework (Or one of the substitutes listed on its page)

This is required for the various attack speed modifying effects to work as intended.

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with almost everything that does not change the One-Handed, Two-Handed or Block perk trees. Vanilla perks are not edited by this mod, with the exception of Power Bash, Shield Charge, Devastating Blow, and Critical Charge.

Certain features of combat overhauls may have unfavorable interactions with this mod, as it was not designed with combat overhauls in mind.

Recommendations

The following mods are recommended in order to improve your experience with Role-Playing Perks - Melee.

Critical Hits Make Sense - More Damage and Scaling

This mod is balanced around stronger critical hits that scale properly. Perks scale out of the box, but Critical Hits Make
