📋 About This Mod
Reworks and rescales individual skills for W3EE 5.02, focusing on Alchemy, Perks, and unlocking Alternate Signs from the get-go.
Back to the great W3EE after two years, and not a lot had been done with the skills, especially in the Alchemy and Perk trees, which still held some holdovers from vanilla.
The aim of this mod is to create skills that are more interesting to use, more difficult to choose between, and hopefully more thematic. Over a dozen new skills, with many more tweaked or re-arranged to better fit their skill categories. I also tried to rescale as many "frontloaded" skills as possible, where a certain skill level gave a particular power spike, such as Fleet Footed 1 or Heightened Senses 5.
