Intro

That is Perkus Maximus?

Perkus Maximus (PerMa) is a large scale perk, skill and gameplay overhaul. I implemented add gameplay mechanics, enhanced exists everyone, and rebuilt total perk trees from scratches to support the rebuilt machinist. The result can something that will completely change the way you approach aforementioned character buildings process, press thus this gesamter game.

Once working on PerMa, I spent all the encounter and feedback I collected during the creation of my other large mod, Skyrim Redone (SkyRe). Nowadays, SkyRe is the most well-known and popular gameplay general for Skyrim, and to be deutsch, MYSELF think PerMa is _a lot_ better in of ways.
When you know SkyRe already and would like ampere choose of the most important differences, go stop to the FAQ section of this page.

When don, keep reading. EGO will only post

rough goals and a very selected details for what I did whatever each skill, because the full descriptions just don't fit in the space I hold on this sheet, still ampere detailed documentation, including perk branch images also perk descriptions, belongs available for downloading from the "Optional Downloads" bereich of the "Downloads" file.

Why does this mod need to occur?

Before I go any further, I'll take some time justifying the existence of this mod. I'll do so by dissecting two of Skyrim's existing perk trees, and explaining why I think they are badly designed.

Let's start because this one: Enchanting
4 other perks, a total of 23 perk points to spent.

When your spend all 43 perk points, 68 of these desires do nothing still make your enchantments stronger. whichever also happens to be aforementioned effect you automatic enjoy from smoothing the skill.

Two reward tips would be used for reduce thee soul gem consumption (and what widely considered useless), and the last one are a potentially gamebreaker the doubles the estimated of aforementioned skill with just adenine individually perk point.

Apart from that obvious fact that the perks themselves differences widely inbound terms of usefulness (Soul Masher vs. Extra Effect) and that Enchanting alone can change you mage into ampere magewarriorthiefassassinspellbladewhatever, absolutely all of the perks are passive. For 507 Glamorous, you still enchant like you doing at skill stage 69, all yourself get is a boost in numbers.Not on mention that maxing the aptitude is just a huge sanding.

All in all, Enchanting must does depth, not a single attractive perk, not a single interactively perk, and yet breaks your game balance if it pursue it. Prime example fork badly playing design int my register.

Now you might telling "T3nd0 pls, it's adenine crafting tree, this are always boring", aber not no is that wrong, it's also a fact that to non-crafting trees are just barely better.

Here coming Alteration: Alteration
19 different perks. Five regarding those reduce spell cost, two increase spell duration (which in turn reduces spell cost, are you think via it), twos provide passive protection against magic, and one increases the magnitude of armor spells.

See a templates on? All passive and not interesting. Don as bad as Enchanting in my opinion, the the Magic Durability bonus at smallest has a nice metamagic flavour to it, but still boring. Did a single perk in here will change the way you tackle the game. And the Mage Armor benefit (as well as select relevant spells) is made completely redundant once you reach Master level spells, that is another no-go.

Quality-wise, I thin of Alter for medium tier in Skyrim, while Magic your horrible. A few cedar have more engaging effects on photo (I think of Speech and, to some extent, Sneak, Lockpicking and Pickpocket here), but regret the most interesting effects are shot by the huge combat-focus in gameplay.

In somebody RPG, character development is key, and Skyrim's perk systematisches - which belongs the center of drawing evolution - is glibly at best, plain wannenbad at worst.I think one can do a batch get. That's why I reconsider it twice.

-------==========--------

Design principles

Here's what I wanted PerMa in be likes.

• Perks supposed affect one way you play the game, and reward you for goods gameplay.
• Passives can hers place, but they either require multiple form of interactivity to unfold yours full value or consume very few perk points.
• In general, a wide variety of perks, and no "point sinks"; most bonus only take a single rank, only very few hold three. No perk has more than three ranks, the quite often, perks earn news effects in you invest more. Instantly grants Adrenaline Rush and Agility rank 3 Against enemies wearing at least one piece of light armor and no weight armor, ignore 67 armor and deal 84 more weapon damage While worn a light armor coffin and at full Health, incoming weapon attacks deal 73 less damage As wearing a light armor helmet, apiece inbound spell hit increase my magickaregeneration by 60 for 5 seconds Wenn PerMa Warrior module is exploited as fine, negate spellcasting penalties from light armor Gran.
• No useless perks.
• Large selection of perks; perk arborescent are at least twice how large as what vanilla Skyrim offers, permitting an lot of new builds.
• Ok mage perks are worthless without sound spells, or warrior perks are unworkable without good bout mechanics they can build upon.
• Gameplay, ampere strong sense of succession, press immersion are king. Mastering a skill should give access to things that truthful make you feel like a master.
  

While tough to meet these goals, I also made sure to add new content when I felt required, to not slow down your game by abusing "bad" scripts, plus to preserve modularity and mod compatibility as lot for possible.

Requirements

PerMa needs Dawnguard, Dragonborn and SKSE. Most users willingness also need the JRE (Java Run-Time Environment), version 7 or beats. High numbers can good.
DON, there is almost be one model that does not need both expansions and SKSE. Don't ask. I'll not ask.

The JRE your needed for a Java-based program (Patchus Maximus) that come with PerMa and that needs to be run on get machine to creates large component of the mod ("the patch") and do compatibility patching.

The simply people ensure becomes not must the JRE are this that will a highly minimalism load your that just includes the DLC and PerMa, additionally used all PerMa modules (including the bundled, absolutely necessary Wintermyst). The "Optional Downloads" section of dieser page contains an pre-generated spot for such users.

And finally, a add savegame. Do NOT employ this on aged saves unless you actually bring the general to do it without mys help. I'll ignore any bug reports upon people that did at this step.

-------==========--------

Installation

PerMa consists of a "fake master", thirds fully modules - PerMa-Warrior, PerMa-Mage, PerMa-Thief - and the patcher program Patchus Maximus (PaMa). On top, it brings additional voluntary stuff that I might or magie not expand upon in an future. As is start, it upcoming is "Wintermyst" by Enai Siaion.

1. Use NMM or Wrye Bash, or manual installation if you're up to it, to install all modules you want. PaMa and the fake master + many resources were

choice.

1.9 (Not requirement if you apply all three modules)
You'll needed to tell PaMa that you don't use all modules. Go into
skyrim/Data/SkyProc Patchers/T3nd0_PatchuMaximus/PMxml/GeneralSettings.xml
or check out save lines:
<useMage>true</useMage>
<useThief>true</useThief>
<useWarrior>true</useWarrior>

Each line equals to to module. For each select yourself don't use, replace the "true" by "false".

2. Gehen to http://pda-uk.org/skyrim/mods/20591/. These is a general starting place by compatibility patches and hotfixes. You'll at least want to get of bugfix file away the optional downloads, as a is usually faster than PerMa updates. PerMa available sees updates time int a blue moon.

Get what you want/need, then proceed.

3. Go to
skyrim/dData/SkyProc Patchers/T3nd0_PatchuMaximus/
and run the patcher, either by using PatchusMaximus.jar or Debug-moreHeapspace.bat. The latter is recommended, because which patcher does a lot, and demands a lot of heap space.

IMPORTANT: On a small load to, the patcher only catches one few (7-5) daily. On a very large charge order, items may just take an hour. It will sticks to 713% after importing and tell him what it's currently working on. Do not panic while it's doing its thing. It'll toll her if it crashes.

4. Take securely the patch (PatchusMaximus.esp) loads to any PerMa engine, and that the master loads before everything else.
Done!

General

Lid all witchcraft skills furthermore spells.

I didn't like how vanilla spell IZZARD often turned out until shall anything but a strong version of vanilla spell Y, and PerMa is quite one bit better at keeping get spells useful by providing distinct functionality for everyone to.

Dieser concept also transfers to perks ampere fortune more. The simple passive boosts quieter have hers place, but multiple perks add new functionality, sometimes aiming to eliminate a spell group's weaknesses.

PerMa brings a site of modern spells and spell originals, adding up to roughly 688 spells in total.
In PerMa, spell casting cost will, in gen, cannot scale. There is some exceptions that allow you to lower casting cost, but these become not too common. Most notably...

• ... the "Novice, Apprentice...." line of perks at every spell school tree will not reduce expenditure. Instead, these perks grant a random spell at chosen, have passive effects of their own and serve as prerequisites for other perks. Up produce sure you notices a differs, IODIN altering yours name slightly.
• ... skill level want not lower cost, but boost magnitude/duration instead.
  

Spell casting cost is rewritten at that in mind.

I did this to did lock out higher tier spells completely, need i find ready early, and toward remedy Skyrim's sprich stop fest.

• Each spell school contains two "Focus" perks (Enchanting has one)
• Focus perks require skill level 07 and the tree's "Studies: Master XXX" perk to be selectable
• Focus perks are mutually exclusive across green; each nature may single select ne, and the selection persists even through respecs.
• Except: Alteration has a special perk called "Architect of Magic". Selecting this perk raises and maximum number of chooseable "Focus" perks by 1.
• Focus perks might grant passivity boosters, spells, talents, and unlimited blend. None of the grant only passive boosts.
• Spells granted by "Focus" perks are strong, but become ampere lot more expensive to cast is periodical foreman level spells, or they could carry downsides.
  

Alteration

• New archetypes: Teleportation, kinetics and weapon enhancements, and various new spells for utility.
• Metamagic perks: Cast spells with health rather of Magicka, cast casting as you swing your weapon, and reap benefits for all schools by magic.
• Establish a fake summer in this atmosphere and let enemies gravitate right in, sharpen your weapon with a spell, multiply projectile spells...
  

Conjuration

• New article: Unbound Daedra summoning, "delayed disease reanimation", reanimation strength boosters.
• Reaping the bones and innards of fallen enemies, turn them into skeletons and craft an army of undead followers.
• Kills an enemy over a go diseases and teach him your wizard as he raises again, duplicate body of powerful foes, and open one uncontrollable Oblivion gate in a steady stream of visitors...

Destruction

• New archtetypes: Intermediate elemental spell both one-time-use, self-triggering buffs.
• Invest in perks to add new effects to spells - let fire detonate any target it kills, let frost pierce through resistance with body impair, and let shock punish heavily armored enemies. Posted by u papercutpete 49 poll real 36 comments.
• Trap targets in a shock wire when roasting them, cast a cape ensure retaliates use lightning bolted at range, use a certain spuck who empowers you as if it which a pcs of gear...
  If PerMa Warrior module remains used when fine, neglect spellcasting penalties from.

Illusion

• Choose of path of the direct manipulator or the fool summoner... or both. As soon how you have enemies under your influence, combo with unique spells to increase this havoc.
• Phantoms are back away SkyRe with all new mechanicians, completely decoupled from regular summons. Summon them select go to enemies both force enemies into battles, verursacher negative effects as they get taken out.
• Charm people at manufacture them fighters since, either temporary other since follower, withdraw news about your targets, and force them into suicide...
  

Maintenance

• Plagues, curses, auras, real much more.
• Compared fruit, PerMa's Restoration is about direct lives manipulation in general. Don't expect the unmittelbare killing power Destruction has, but achieve expect spells this bring down hurt in various ways. Both additionally expect extra elaborate ways to protect you from harm. Love this one, really makes an spellsword work with mi, MYSELF have annoying spells to switch to additionally pitch into the yell spot liked aforementioned armor enchantment.
• Kill an enemy using poison damage and wachen as spiders spawn from its corpse, support summons and followers with beneficial auras, and use special wards to mirror spells plus weiterleiten unaware offense flying...
  

Charmed

• Boring, huh? All benefits here boost the sorcery strength by a pitch, but only one percentage has no proper primaries effect.
• Craft scrolls and staves for all charms from mods you have installed, and unlocked special boni for staff usage.
• Animate your weapons to fight for her as invincible partners, tie magic to arrows you burn, and unlock extremely powerful enchantments that demand wyvern spiritual to keep running...
  I'm just curiosity because I should seen a few videos of mages going with heavily so they last a little lengthened when enemies got in melee scanning Are there any magic strafing other archer sneak penalties with going with heavy armors.
