This mod aims to tweak and rebalance Skyrim's skills and perks within a vanilla-plus framework. The mod can be used as an all-in-one variation (Omnis) or in separate modules each dealing with a different subset of skills (Blade for Combat skills, Staff for Magic skills, and Cloak for Stealth skills).
A key issue this mod seeks to change is to make going deeper into a perk tree more appealing without drastically changing the perk trees as a whole. This partially done by nerfing the basic entry level perks at the bottom of the tree while improve deeper perk nodes.
Furthermore, due to this mod only editing perk records, mods that don't edit perk records should be compatible with this mod. The modules should also be compatible with perk mods that don't edit the same perks (e.g. Blade and Cloak should be compatible with Empowered Magic).
This mod requires the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch.
Changes this mod does are as follows (as of v1.5):
Blade/Combat:
* Physical attack damage dealt by the player now increases by 1% per point in the respective skill regardless of perks.
* Heavy Armor:
** Tower of Strength now also reduces all incoming damage by 10% if wearing all heavy armor (chest, hands, feet).
** Increased Reflect Blows chance of activation to 15%; also reduces all incoming damage by 33%.
