- Changelogs
-
-
Version 9.30.0
- Destruction: Add Raw Power. (With Triumvirate adding many magic damage spells, it is time for non-elemental spells to have perk support.)
-
Version 9.29.0
- Conjuration - Bone Collector: Now grants the "Make Way for Your Lord!" lesser power, which hides all your skeletons for 10 seconds.
- Illusion - Rename Quiet Before the Storm -> Silent Storm (so the (2) fits on the screen).
- One-Handed - Denting Blows: Now correctly increases damage dealt by maces themselves.
- Two-Handed - Crushing Blows: Now correctly increases damage dealt by warhammers themselves.
- Smithing - Dwarven Autocannon: Now deals 90% less damage to the player and non-hostile targets (but still counts as an attack).
-
Version 9.28.1
- Destruction: Fix high level mage NPCs losing access to low level proc perks such as Scarring Burns.
- Light Armor - Breaking Waves: No longer erroneously grants 100% critical strike chance if you don't have the Wardancer perk.
- Restoration - Necromanticon: No longer erroneously ignores resistances.
- Restoration - Necromanticon: Fix spell ignoring spell absorb and having no resistance type set. (Whoops.)
-
Version 9.26
- Conjuration
- March of Oblivion: changed from +1 minion and -50 Health -> +1 minion per 250 mana, up to +3 minions. (The 9.23 version that tied minion count to Magicka was valid, enabling "I may be weak..." summoner specialist builds, but the implementation was overpowered because you could trivially get +2 for no meaningful cost. This rework brings back the pre-9.25 version of the perk in a slightly nerfed state, eliminating the easy +2 while offering a payoff for builds that go balls deep on minions.)
- Summon Resist: increased armor bonus from 200 -> 300.
Destruction
- Glacial Prison: increased duration from 5 -> 6 seconds. (This perk falls apart if the duration is too low.)
- Nova Charge: increased damage from 150 -> 200. (A static damage spell is hard to balance due to the tension between too weak and too strong, but the current version should have much more potential and is more conductive to being picked. (Sorry.))
- Robe of the Magi: increased bonus from 20% -> 30%. (While Destruction did need significant nerfs, this was the wrong perk to nerf. Robes should remain the best option for pure mages.)
- War of the Elements: increased attack damage bonus from 30% -> 40%. (Compensation for the Hypothermia and Electroconvulsions nerfs.)
- Conjuration
-
Version 9.25
- Alchemy
- Fixed name of "The" Alchemist's Cookbook.
- Lab Skeever: now also increases the magnitude of beneficial potions by 25%. (If using a compatibility patch for another alchemy overhaul, this may not show up until the patch is updated; but it works regardless.)
Alteration
- Home Mythal: reduced home duration bonus from x50 -> x20.
- Rend Resistances: reduced resist pierce from 25% -> 15%.
- Welloc's Dormant Arcana: reduced Regenerate Health effect from 2%/sec -> 1%/sec.
Conjuration
- Bone Collector: Skeleton Mage minimum level increased from 5 -> 8. (+30 HP)
- March of Oblivion: changed from +1 minion and a further +1 per 250 mana -> +1 minion and -50 Health. (This perk was insanely overpowered.)
- Pact Magic: reduced Destruction spell bonus from 15% -> 10%.
Destruction
- Absolute Power: reduced duration from 10 -> 6 seconds.
- Ancient Seals: reduced total damage from 200% -> 150%.
- Combustion: reduced bonus from 30/50% -> 20/30%.
- Electroconvulsions: reduced threshold from 33% -> 25%.
- Flash Fire: reduced bonus from 125% -> 100%.
- Glacial Prison: reduced duration from 8 -> 5 seconds.
- Hypothermia: reduced threshold from 33% -> 25%.
- Ionized Path: reduced bonus from 30/50% -> 20/30%.
- Magnetize: removed shock damage bonus to disabled target.
- Merciless Cold: reduced bonus from 30/50% -> 20/30%.
- Robe of the Magi: reduced bonus from 25% -> 20%.
- Scarring Burns: reduced fire resistance pierce from 25% -> 20%.
- Shatter: duration in mod description is now correct.
Enchanting
- Attunement: reduced enchantment effectiveness bonus from 15% -> 10%.
- You Shall Not Pass: description now tells you how much damage it deals.
Heavy Armor
- Doombringer: is now correctly removed when you respec.
Illusion
- Commanding Presence: now only activates in combat (reducing script load when using unstable mods that run scripts whenever actors are affected by a magic effect).
Lockpicking
- Nose for Treasure: added Scrolls option.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Luck: added Scrolls option; fixed issue with Ingots option.
Restoration
- Sacred Flame: reduced heal amount from 30 -> 20 per second.
- Under My Wings: description now correctly says it doesn't work on mechanical targets.
Sneak
- Backstab: no longer causes a guaranteed critical strike (apparently this overrides a sneak attack??!?) but buffs critical strike damage by the same amount as it buffs regular damage instead.
- Demolition Job: reduced spell damage bonus from 3% (5% for runes) -> 1% (2% for runes).
Speech
- Encore: reduced level requirement from 50 -> 40.
- Horn of Sovngarde: no longer blocks scenes from running on affected actors for its duration.
- Alchemy
-
Version 9.23
- Pickpocket
- Mutiny: now causes the target to frenzy.
Two-Handed
- Breach the Wall: improved threshold from 70% -> 60%.
- Pickpocket
-
Version 9.21
- Well this was fast.
Two-Handed
- Replaced Tooth for Tooth -> Breach the Wall.
- Renamed Hero's Downfall -> Humiliate.
- Well this was fast.
-
Version 9.20
- Block
- Deflect Arrows: now reduces arrow damage by 25% -> 50%.
One-Handed
- Renamed Split the Heavens -> Falling Sword. (This tree needs less dramatic names. This perk makes a lot of sense if you assume it is a powerful overhead swing that causes internal damage, but the name made it out to be something else entirely.)
- Swaying Cobra: reduced Magicka/Stamina drain from 150 -> 100 but added a 5 second regeneration stop.
- Wandering Warrior: now correctly gives one-handed damage instead of two-handed damage. (Not retroactive, but since no one noticed in a year, I'm assuming it's not important. If it is for you, the perk now modifies OneHandedPowerMod and used to modify TwoHandedPowerMod.)
Pickpocket
- Death's Emperor: now also affects critical strike damage.
Two-Handed
A common beef people have with this tree is that it "makes no sense". It is true that some perks are there to enable gameplay moments instead of appealing to realism, but there is still some work that can be done.
- Replaced Flee Fool -> Tooth for Tooth
- Replaced Rise and Fall -> Hero's End.
MCM/globals
- Added MCM option (ORD_Bck_TimedBlock_Global_SquelchTimedBlockMessage) to disable the timed block message.
- Added MCM option (ORD_Enc_Spellscribe_Global_EnableSelfCastSpells) to reenable self cast spells.
- Block
-
Version 9.19
- A smaller update than it looks, but with three major improvements:
- You can now farm bones regardless of how the NPC died;
- Thief's Eye is more foolproof;
- There's a new addon that offers an alternate way to get additional perk points.
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FVnH-OcwNk
Misc
- There is now an optional addon to give yourself more perk points whenever a skill reaches level 50, 75 or 100.
Archery
- Three Crows: updated description for clarity.
Conjuration
- Bone Collector: updated description to reflect correct level scaling; corpses can now be looted for bones regardless of who lands the killing blow, meaning you can now use any number of minions and mercs and still loot bones. There is a 200 foot range limit to this effect for performance reasons. (Revert to previous behaviour by typing 'set ORD_Con_BoneCollector_Global_UseAddLeveledList to 1' into the console.)
- Conjure Altar: is now a lesser power (no cooldown).
- Skeleton Mages: reduced their spell cost from 10 -> 5 so they don't get shut down by mods that force NPCs to have realistic mana costs; changed Destruction scaling from 0-300% -> 100-300%; fixed glowing eye glitch.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: updated description to indicate that it now also triggers out of combat.
Heavy Armor
- Immortal: removed sliding scale, now grants its full bonus at 15% Health (20% with Rallying Standard). (This perk used to crash. There is no reason why a perk that only contains entry points and no script or ability should ever crash, but it is not the first time, which seems to point to a perk related bug in the game engine itself. Since there is no hope of debugging this, the perk has been reworked to circumvent it.)
Illusion
- Illusion Mastery: effects now correctly replace each other instead of stacking.
One-Handed
There have been some complaints about "random" perks. The idea is not that every perk must make sense from a realistic standpoint, but that the perks encourage you to do cool or tricky stuff in battle. They are the equivalent of style bonuses.
- Coiling Python: updated description for improved immersion.
- Cross Cut: no longer requires the follow-up attacks to be specifically a sword.
- Split the Heavens: removed damage bonus; added 40 bleed damage over 20 seconds; updated description for improved immersion.
- Thundering Blow: updated description for improved immersion.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: removed "player is arrested" failure condition. (The game seems to get stuck in that state even when you are not in fact arrested until you pay off all bounties, causing the mark to escape every time.)
Speech
- Earthquake Drum: reduced level requirement from 70 -> 60.
- Encore: reduced level requirement from 60 -> 50.
- Golden Fiddle: reduced level requirement from 50 -> 40.
- Irresistible Dance: increased radius from 40 -> 100 feet; reduced level requirement from 40 -> 30.
Two-Handed
- Avalanche: duration increased from 8 -> 10 seconds; damage bonus removed; stagger strength doubled; no longer requires the follow-up attacks to be specifically a warhammer.
- Bear Hide: updated description for clarity.
- Bisect: increased damage cap from 112.5 -> 150.
- Decimate: updated description to match other similar descriptions.
- Enter the Arena: updated description to match other similar descriptions.
- Execute: updated description for improved immersion.
- Flee Fool: no longer requires the follow-up attacks to be specifically a greatsword.
- Maul: no longer requires the follow-up attacks to be specifically a greatsword; updated description for improved immersion.
- Rise and Fall: updated description for clarity.
- Subjugate: improved script execution speed.
- The Pendulum: updated description for clarity.
- A smaller update than it looks, but with three major improvements:
-
Version 9.18
- I didn't plan on this update, but it seems like an easy win.
Conjuration
- Bone Collector: skeletons now have a minimum level of 2 -> 5 and maximum level of 20 -> 30.
- Skeleton Mages: skeletons now have a minimum level of 7 -> 8.
Illusion
So many people have no idea what illusion magnitude means.
- Fickle Fate: now also affects Rally spells and effects; updated description.
- Illusion Mastery: now also increases the level cap of mind affecting spells by 0.1/0.2 per level.
- Kindred Mage: updated description to clarify that it affects spells and effects; now works correctly on shouts; now changes the spell description of your mind affecting spells to reflect the magnitude bonus against a target that is not the same race.
- I didn't plan on this update, but it seems like an easy win.
-
Version 9.17
- A massive bugfix update with a small amount of new content.
Further updates will be slower because I will reinvent myself as a content creator in order to maybe get invited to the Creation Club at some point. Apparently I'm skilled enough to draw attention but specialise in the wrong thing and Bethesda decides what kind of skill set they need to make DLC happen. Also, I want to do something else for a change that isn't purely gameplay. Follow my Patreon (www.patreon.com/EnaiSiaion) for coming projects. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UqtFRL1bfg
Misc
- Sneak detector: increased window of opportunity to accomodate slow script execution.
Alteration
The replacement of Energy Shield didn't go through yet. Energy Shield is a very appealing ability and its intended replacement (pick two attributes, one is replenished by draining the other) ran into major issues: a Health drain (eg. "blood magic") prevents you from fast travelling whether or not the drain is active; and Magicka is drained while casting but restored if you cancel the cast, potentially causing the loss of another attribute for no reason (and the IsCasting condition is too slow). I need to think about this some more.
- Aurification: updated description.
- Command Lock: updated description.
- Dimension Door: now correctly destroys its animation.
- Emergency Teleport: now correctly destroys its animation.
- Home Mythal: fixed issue causing the mythal object to become invisible permanently after you set it to invisible and respec.
- Intuitive Magic: updated description to make it more obvious that it does not eliminate the need for Vancian Magic stacks (and can't, without SKSE).
- Vancian Magic: increased bonus experience gain to spells from 125% -> 135%; no longer grants bonus magnitude and duration when a bow is equipped to prevent it from affecting Lion's Arrow.
Archery
There have been some requests to reduce the level of Lion's Arrow. The problem is that it doesn't cost magicka (again, no SKSE) and therefore has the potential to turn into an unlimited Vancian Magic. The level requirement is there to encourage investment in actual archery and discourage mages from grabbing a bow and shooting free thunderbolts all day long.
- Renamed Deadeye -> Hawkeye (to further the avian theme of Archery).
- Reworked Thieving Raven -> Beak and Talon, including the old Takedown effect but with increased range.
- Hunter's Discipline: fixed description.
- Wingstrike: updated description to clarify that the bash bonus also applies to crossbows.
Conjuration
- Bone Collector: all skeletons now take 75% reduced attack damage, critical damage and Destruction spell damage from you (and they are already immune to disease and poison, so it will take some real effort to accidentally kill them).
- Edge of Oblivion: reduced self stagger strength.
- Necromaster: this perk was a mess and has been partially reworked:
--- Giving valid actors a weapon or armor now causes them to equip it, making it much more useful.
--- Now correctly states that it affects only Dread Zombies and Dead Thralls.
--- Detection of killed actors now correctly requires the perk to work.
--- Level cap boost only applies to Dread Zombie and Dead Thrall (or rather any spell with the crSummonThrallFortifyHealRate magic effect).
Destruction
- Harsh Lesson: is now blocked if the target has a ward up.
- Magnetize: cleaned up script.
- Pyromancer Ascension: fixed magic effect description.
- Glacial Prison: no longer applied on a hit that kills its target (causing desync).
Enchanting
- Arcane Nexus: fixed a condition.
Heavy Armor
- Immortal: there were some complaints about crashes, which is incomprehensible because it's just standard entry points and conditions. Changed the order of conditions in case it matters.
- Rallying Standard: increased armor buff from 100 -> 150 points; increased radius from 15 -> 25 feet. (Note: there have been some requests to make it work on all allies regardless of armor. I don't think it's a good idea to force conjurers into heavy armor of all things to get the most out of their minions. Its main purpose is to buff yourself when you stay in range and encourage turtling up as a heavy armor user.)
Illusion
- Commanding Presence: increased radius from 20 -> 40 feet. (Not retroactive; please respec.)
Lockpicking
- Bait: is now a lesser power (no cooldown); reduced radius from 200 -> 75 feet; reduced duration from 60 -> 30 seconds.
- Lockjaw: increased drain armor duration from 4 -> 5 seconds and value from 5/level -> 10/level.
- Seen This Before: updated description to clarify that you also gain perk points if you bypass locks.
Pickpocket
For those wondering why Trained Rabbit is a dead end: it was meant to have a follow-up perk called Prince With a Thousand Enemies that changed its effect when summoned in combat to run off in a random direction and force all opponents to chase after it; but this was bugged and never worked correctly.
- Crime Wave: reduced max number of repetitions from 5 -> 4.
- Mutiny: is now a lesser power (no cooldown); reduced radius from 200 -> 75 feet; reduced duration from 60 -> 30 seconds.
- Stalk the Prey: reduced the required stalk time from 12 -> 10 seconds.
- You Saw Nothing: now also affects other targets in a 40 foot radius around the initial target.
Restoration
- Necromanticon (Putrefy, Death Cloud, Carrion Wind): all spells now affect all nonmechanical targets; all spells deal double damage per second but have halved duration, matching spells such as Horrid Wilting in Apocalypse.
- Tome of Many Pages: perk description now correctly states it increases a skill by 15 levels instead of 5 levels.
Sneak
- Renamed Smoke Curtain -> Smokescreen.
- Laughing Ghost: sneak attack damage is no longer disabled when a slow time effect is active; refactored script and increased duration of sneak attack bonus from 2 -> 3 seconds to increase reliability in slow script execution conditions; removed ragdoll; increased stagger strength from 75% -> 100%.
- Smokescreen: increased duration from 120 -> 180 seconds.
- Spot Detection: is now a lesser power (no cooldown); duration reduced from 180 -> 30 seconds.
- Whiplash: increased drain armor duration from 4 -> 5 seconds and value from 750 -> 1000 points.
Speech
- Earthquake Drum: increased damage per second from 30 -> 50 (=> Witchdrum damage 45 -> 75).
- Golden Fiddle: reduced level requirement from 60 -> 50.
- Irresistible Dance: reduced level requirement from 50 -> 40.
- Salesman: increased level requirement from 40 -> 50.
- Speak With Animals: perk description now mentions the Release Companion power (the message apparently wasn't enough :/ ).
- Thu'um of War: radius increased from 20 -> 25 feet.
- A massive bugfix update with a small amount of new content.
-
Version 9.15
- Minor fixes.
Misc
- Sneak detector: implemented a failsafe in case of slow script execution.
Alchemy
- Green Thumb: fixed description.
Archery
- Hunter's Discipline: fixed description.
Conjuration
- Bone Collector/Barrow Lord: increased duration of commands from 5 -> 15 minutes. (Note that if skeletons would get unloaded, commands on them are lost.)
Destruction
- Magnetize: fixed race condition that caused Magnetize to become permanent on dead actors if script execution lags behind.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: now only grants Enchanting experience in combat.
- Thunderstruck: changed enchantment bonus on power attacks from 30% -> 25% (1H weapon)/50% (2H weapon).
Heavy Armor
- Immortal: changed damage reduction from 75% below 15% (20%) Health -> 25-75% below 30% (40%) Health, using a curve similar to Death or Glory.
Lockpicking
- Percussive Maintenance: now also negates your critical damage and Denting Blows/Crushing Blows when hitting an automaton to repair it.
One-Handed
- Into the Dust: reduced damage bonus per stack from 20% -> 15%. (This was strictly better than Meteor Storm in most use cases.)
- Toll the Bell: improved script execution speed. (Many people would expect a nerf instead, but this has such a severe drawback that it risks becoming one of those perks constantly people want to respec out of if it loses its one hit power, which would be a terrible state for a mainline perk to be in.)
Restoration
- Mage Ward: no longer causes invalid or negative WardPower values if interrupted early (not retroactive; respec).
Speech
- Gift of Kynareth: now works correctly on Chaurus Reapers.
- Minor fixes.
-
Version 9.14
- I believe at this point there is not much left to do with this mod and it has pretty much reached its final state. Pretty much any tree is up for grabs for compatibility patches and will no longer be significantly changed.
I did beat the buzzer with an Enchanting tree rework, which was the worst tree in the mod.
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOvsyamoEDg
Alteration
- Reverted Throne of Nirn to its older functionality (raising the user on a pillar of earth) in response to your feedback. Thanks!
- Energy Shield: active when in combat -> when hands are raised; now correctly disables the damage reduction when the Magicka drain is disabled; increased damage reduction from 25% -> 35%.
- Geomancer: increased damage reduction from 25% -> 30%.
- Throne of Nirn: active when in combat -> when hands are raised; made the pillar slightly taller. (Note to users of ritual spells: any vanilla ritual spell takes 4 seconds to cast, so you can cast it and immediately release without ending up on the pillar.)
Conjuration
- Bone Collector: skeletons now have 1000% resistance to poison and disease, enabling their use alongside Restoration plague spells.
Enchanting
- A major overhaul of the staff/weapon half of the tree, which was a complete mess and probably the worst branch in the mod.
--- Enchanting Mastery: now includes the effect of the removed Soul Squeezer in addition to its previous effect.
--- Removed Soul Squeezer.
--- Renamed Channeler -> Staff Channeler; updated description.
--- Soul Siphon: moved from level 30 -> 20.
--- Secretkeeper: now also buffs weapon damage in addition to spell and scroll damage, but restricts its bonuses to one or the other hand. (You can't attack with a weapon in your left hand while casting a staff in your right hand.)
--- Added Flame of Magnus.
--- Removed Starlight Sage.
--- Changed Weapon Recharge -> Staff Recharge; increasing its recharge rate from 3 -> 5 but restricting it to (duh) staves only.
--- Renamed Battlemage -> Thunderstruck; moved from level 70 -> 30; changed bonuses from 25% magnitude/50% duration -> 30% both.
--- Added Attunement.
--- Added Heart of the Sun.
--- Added You Shall not Pass.
--- Removed Rods From the Gods.
--- Removed Staff Flux.
--- Charge Tap: greatly simplified effect (it no longer discriminates between left and right hand).
- Last Word: now has 2 -> 3 levels.
Heavy Armor
- Warbringer: activates when entering combat -> when drawing a weapon. (Thanks!!)
Restoration
- Bastion Ward: corrected functional error in description.
Some users have reported Warrior's Flame activating on targets and causing them to aggro, however Warrior's Flame does not generate aggro. It is more likely that Warrior's Flame activated as a result of them aggroing and entering combat.
Smithing
- The perk Arcane Blacksmith has been removed from all respec formlists, so refunding your perk points will no longer refund this perk in particular. This is a vanilla perk and according to Uesp there's a nasty bug with it: once you refund it, it may never work again.
- Heart of Creation: increased duration from 15 -> 30 minutes.
Speech
- Horn of Sovngarde: no longer affects commanded actors and followers.
- Irresistible Dance: no longer generates Papyrus errors when it hits fewer than 5 targets.
- Performer: no longer generates Papyrus errors when it hits fewer than 5 targets; significantly increased base donation from 1*Speech -> 5*Speech, making it far easier to make money with it.
- I believe at this point there is not much left to do with this mod and it has pretty much reached its final state. Pretty much any tree is up for grabs for compatibility patches and will no longer be significantly changed.
-
Version 9.12
- Taking a break of several weeks from this mod. I get the feeling that I'm not looking at this right, or that I'm making changes I shouldn't be making, or perhaps people don't care and the mod is fine as it is.
Obligatory Patreon ad: www.patreon.com/EnaiSiaion
Conjuration
- Signed in Blood: fixed missing conditions on heal over time component.
Enchanting
Arbitrary skill bonuses on armor are SUPPOSED to be weaker than in vanilla, because they are really strong in vanilla to the point where enchanting is almost mandatory for every build. Just as smithing is for warriors, enchanting should have a slight bias in favour of mages, who benefit from Regalia and can more easily use Miracle on an armor piece. Despite some protests about the enchanting buff in 9.11, its power level is still more or less on par with vanilla for mages and slightly weaker for warriors (at least in theory; the Arcane Nexus bug in 9.11 made it significantly better than vanilla).
The big problem with Cosmic Fire is that it is in the way and hard to avoid. Therefore it can't be a double edged perk and needs to do something more universal.
- Replaced Cosmic Fire -> Weapon Recharge.
- Arcane Nexus: fixed bug that caused 50% enchantment bonus instead of 25%.
- Regalia: now also applies to necklaces.
Illusion
Illusion magnitude bonuses do improve Muffle, and duration bonuses improve Muffle and Invisibility, but here is a dedicated perk to buff invisibility. While Lord of Illusions was potentially interesting, some people seemed to assume that its only purpose was to help you land mind spells after already landing a mind spell and declared it useless, missing the Rally synergy. Oh well.
- Replaced Lord of Illusions -> Shadow Refuge.
Light Armor
- Initiative: the bonus now gradually falls off over the course of 15 seconds instead of ending abruptly after 10 seconds. (This feels less "gamey".)
Lockpicking
- Hotwire: increased minimum range for recovery teleportation from 3200 -> 3600.
Restoration
While Hallowed Burial is a bit generic, it is the practical "undead hate" perk people expect to be in the Restoration tree. Afterglow was a wonky undead hate perk that was supposed to evoke something like Leona's shield in LoL that detonates after a delay, but any visuals would be clutter and the point was lost without them, so it was just this strange thing that made undead randomly take damage for no reason.
- Replaced Afterglow -> Hallowed Burial.
- Descending Light: the bonus now gradually falls off over the course of 15 seconds instead of ending abruptly after 10 seconds.
- Exorcist: renamed Sun Ray subspell to Sunblast due to name overlap with other mods; improved Stellar Core projectile visual.
Sneak
- Dynamic Entry: increased duration of effect from 2 -> 3 seconds; reduced damage bonus from 50% -> 40%; now works with all weapons instead of just one-handed weapons.
- Greased Lightning: updated description for immersion.
- Laughing Ghost: reduced knockdown strength to improve effectiveness.
- Partystarter: slightly reduced explosion sound volume; increased radius of knockdown effect from 4 -> 5 feet; increased damage from 150% of Sneak -> 200% of Sneak.
Speech
The bard path has fairly high requirements. It is a "low magic" path that requires several perks in the mundane uses of music before proceeding to music that holds or kills enemies. This is fine, because bards should have other trees to invest in as well. However, the fact that Earthquake Drum is useless until you get the upgrade is not intentional. The last thing you need is a dead perk at 70 skill. By making the perk viable without the upgrade, the point at which the build comes online has been lowered by 10 levels.
- Earthquake Drum: increased damage per beat from 20 -> 30.
- Speak With Animals: increased minimum range for recovery teleportation from 3200 -> 3600.
- Thu'um of War: updated description.
- Taking a break of several weeks from this mod. I get the feeling that I'm not looking at this right, or that I'm making changes I shouldn't be making, or perhaps people don't care and the mod is fine as it is.
-
Version 9.11
- Enchanting
- Arcane Nexus: increased enchantment bonus from 15% -> 25%.
- Gem Dust: increased enchantment bonus from 20% -> 25%.
- Enchanting
-
Version 9.10
- A maintenance update containing a few fixes to underwhelming mage perks in particular. Restoration has been annoying me for a while. The respec notification is now a dialog box in an attempt to reduce user churn (install mod, look at perk tree, notice missing points, uninstall without a word).
One interesting thing is that 9.08 has 10K downloads for the regular version but 6K downloads for the no-DLC version, which was set as the default (in another attempt to reduce user churn). It used to be the case that the regular version was the default and the no-DLC version had very minimal downloads. This tells me that around 1 in 3-4 users simply hit the NMM download button without even looking at the downloads page. One consequence is that any optional file or compatibility patch will get missed by that many people by default no matter what.

Alteration
The left side of this tree is a grab bag of perks no one wants. Also, the tree lacks a hero perk for standard builds since no one uses Aurification.
- Reworked Throne of Nirn: now grants power attack/bash stagger immunity while casting a spell in robes.
- Aurification: no longer shares a cooldown with Command Lock; increased gold granted from 4 times Alteration -> 100 times level.
- Command Lock: can now be used 2 -> 4 times a day.
- Dimension Door: changed from 1/day -> at will.
- Philosopher's Stone: increased gold granted from 2 times Alteration -> 4 times Alteration.
Conjuration
The main problem with this tree is two perks: Edge of Oblivion and Rat King, which seem to drive people to uninstall the mod. Additionally, there is no straight line through it for any minions other than conventional daedra or reanimations.
- Updated the descriptions of several perks for consistency (conjure = summon + reanimate):
--- Atromancy
--- Edge of Oblivion
--- Feed the Monster
--- March of Oblivion
--- Necromaster
--- Planemeld
--- Preservation
--- Undead Crown
- Updated the description of several perks to reflect that they only work with friendly minions:
--- Maelstrom
--- Pact Magic
--- Signed in Blood
--- Summon Resist
- Bone Collector: increased range of recovery teleport from 3200 -> 3800 and disabled it in combat; increased duration of skeleton commands from 2 -> 5 minutes.
- Covenant of Coldharbour: now also works with other non-undead minions.
- Edge of Oblivion: removed annoying blue flame effect.
- Ravenous Dead: updated description.
- Summon Resist: now also works with other non-undead minions; no longer fails to activate in some circumstances (not retroactive unless you respec).
Enchanting
The left hand side of the tree is a bit too abstract. Perk descriptions can fix that to a point.
- Channeler: corrected description.
- Might and Magic: reduced bonuses from 20% -> 10%; updated description. (This was strictly better than Spellblade...)
- Secretkeeper: updated description.
- Spellscribe: now activates when drawing weapons instead of entering combat, improving reliability by removing the unstable IsInCombat() function.
Illusion
The activate perks seem to be criminally underused. Hopefully reducing the cooldown will make a difference (but not too far because they can't stack).
- Blind Guardian: updated description.
- Nemesis: reduced cooldown from 300 -> 180 seconds.
- Nightfall: increased damage from 30 -> 40.
- The Reaper Comes: reduced cooldown from 300 -> 180 seconds.
- Wraithwalker: updated description.
Restoration
The tree may be overly cryptic (still) and too abstract, revolving around things like Warrior's Flame and Afterglow that are far removed from what players actually expect out of Restoration. Even if there is nothing wrong with the actual perks, this creates a bad first impression that the tree is cluttered with garbage. Descriptions can fix this to a point, but some perks need to be replaced.
Fun fact: Afterglow, Crusader's Fire, Warrior's Flame and Wheel of Life are Restoration spells and therefore benefit from spell scaling (Restoration Mastery, Chalice of Tears)!
- Reworked Exorcist: now grants up to 3 sun damage spells, similar to Necromanticon.
- Antimagic Field: now also affects the wards created by Mage Ward and Spellbreaker.
- Ashes to Ashes: updated description.
- Bastion Ward: now also affects the wards created by Mage Ward and Spellbreaker.
- Crusader's Fire: updated description.
- Forbidden Sanctuary: updated description.
- Pilgrim: now improves shrine blessings by 50% -> 1% per Restoration level.
- Plague Doctor: now only affects enemies instead of allies.
- Overflowing Cup: updated description.
- Sacred Flame: updated description.
Misc
- The automatic respec alert is now a message box instead of a message to improve visibility.
- A maintenance update containing a few fixes to underwhelming mage perks in particular. Restoration has been annoying me for a while. The respec notification is now a dialog box in an attempt to reduce user churn (install mod, look at perk tree, notice missing points, uninstall without a word).

Version 9.08
- "When a company runs out of ideas for improving a product, they always switch to subscriptions." -random Forbes poster about Windows 10. On an unrelated note, I now have a Patreon: www.patreon.com/EnaiSiaion
Ordinator has a user satisfaction problem. I calculated some stats about my mods (link on my Patreon page :P ) and out of all of them, Ordinator is pretty much the one with the worst endorsement/upvote rate per download on both classic and SSE, the Nexus and (especially) the Workshop. It seems that the newbie experience is very bad and people eagerly download but then uninstall. Too many perks? Too confusing? Key perks nerfed or removed? Probably.
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB6UFAi-lRg
Misc
The no-DLC version is now the standard NMM file (many users use this feature to download their mods and Apocalypse got a few complaints from users who said it immediately crashes because they don't have the DLC and auto downloaded the DLC version).
Archery
- Hailstorm: increased margin of error for a "fully drawn" bow shot from 0.9 -> 0.8.
Conjuration
- Atromancy: now supports untyped conjuration spells (Seeker, Ash Spawn, Ash Guardian).
- Edge of Oblivion: now correctly supports untyped conjuration spells.
- Planemeld: now supports untyped conjuration spells.
Destruction
- Slightly moved some nodes around to try and fix a perk selection issue on consoles.
- Elemental Specialization: fixed incorrect ability description.
- Glacial Prison: now flags the target as restrained for the duration, preventing many forms of forced movement that could cause the hitbox to desync; now disabled during a killmove.
Heavy Armor
- Rallying Standard: reduced sound volume by 3 dB.
Illusion
- Kindred Mage: fixed incorrect perk description.
One-Handed
- Windswept: the knockback no longer erroneously applies to targets that are immune to paralysis due to an incorrect keyword check.
Sneak
- Sneak Mastery: fixed incorrect perk description.
Speech
- And the Universe Listens: hardcoded Slow Time and Become Ethereal as shouts (because Bethesda forgot the keywords).
- "When a company runs out of ideas for improving a product, they always switch to subscriptions." -random Forbes poster about Windows 10. On an unrelated note, I now have a Patreon: www.patreon.com/EnaiSiaion
-
Version 9.06
- I broke my vow not to update any more perks, due to one perk being broken and the other being utterly unwanted. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMmYTSH2j2o
Conjuration
- Replaced Daedra's Due -> Summon Resist.
- Corpse Gas: corrected description.
- Edge of Oblivion: corrected description.
- March of Oblivion: corrected description.
- Preservation: corrected description.
- Undead Crown: corrected description.
(Boneman/Mistman/Wrathman go under "conjured undead". Seeker isn't anything.)
Restoration
- Replaced Duel Ward -> Antimagic Field.
- I broke my vow not to update any more perks, due to one perk being broken and the other being utterly unwanted. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMmYTSH2j2o
-
Version 9.05
- Alteration
- Vancian Magic: now correctly initialised on 20/20 spells instead of 30/20.
One-Handed
- Coiling Python: no longer deals critical strikes to targets it could not paralyze, but now able to paralyze automatons.
Restoration
- Vigilant: now works correctly.
- Alteration
-
Version 9.03
- Conjuration
- Edge of Oblivion: no longer applies in non-humanoid forms.
Light Armor
- Breaking Waves: now works correctly with Wardancer again; corrected required level.
- Conjuration
-
Version 9.02
- Destruction
- Absolute Power: reverted change that broke it.
- Destruction
-
Version 9.01
- Restoration
- Bastion Ward: no longer tied to nonexistent Zealot's Ward and just gives 40% damage reduction.
Misc
- Fixed bug that prevented players from respeccing out of:
--- That Which Does Not Kill You
--- Doctor Death
--- Focus on the Prey
--- Doombringer
- Restoration
-
Version 9.00
- Respec if you have points in a significantly modified perk tree.
This is the last major update; any future updates will be strictly bugfixing and egregious balance issues. No perks will be added, removed or significantly altered. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7b4skyUy4
Alchemy
- Elemental Oil: fixed model for SSE.
Alteration
- Replaced Resonance Cascade -> Rend Resistances.
- Renamed Anchorite -> Home Mythal. (The name didn't make it clear enough what it was for.)
- Distorted Shape: updated description.
- Dungeon Master: increased Life Tap cost from 20 -> 40 per stack.
- Energy Roil: increased duration from 2 -> 4 seconds; now has an animation.
- Geomancer: increased damage reduction from 20% -> 25%.
- Home Mythal: can now be used to mark a location for Vancian Magic recharge.
- Spellblade: improved script execution speed.
- Vancian Magic: no longer erroneously drains charges when using scrolls; no longer prevents the use of school-less spells (powers); disabled in non-humanoid form; now always works in the College of Winterhold dorms and the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary whether or not you own them; now comes with 25% increased experience from spells.
Conjuration
- Reworked Daedra's Due: now allows you to permanently sacrifice Health in exchange for perk points. (While the old version technically worked, the AI is a bit slow in switching spells and people expected it to apply to all minions of that type.)
- Bone Collector: each Sack of Bones now contains 8 -> 10 bones; increased leash radius from 100 -> 150 feet.
- Rat King: updated description to clarify that this does not create "summoned" minions; minions are now keyworded as undead.
- Signed in Blood: now also heals 10 points per second in combat.
Destruction
This school seems to be a tad strong but people also seem to be okay with this.
- Glacial Prison: reduced duration from 10 -> 8 seconds.
- Iced Earth: increased radius of frost hazard from 4.0 -> 4.5.
- Nova Charge: reduced threshold from 8 -> 6 spells; reduced damage from 250 -> 150 but also staggers targets.
- Arc Burn: increased duration from 3 -> 4 seconds; increased afterburn duration. (People underestimate this. This can easily be 1/4 of your damage on fast hitting spells like Scattershock.)
- Outburst: increased damage per second from 15 -> 30.
- Pyromancer Ascension: reduced threshold from 8 -> 6 spells.
- All hard disables (Magnetize, Glacial Prison, Absolute Power) now respect the forced movement keyword used in all of my mods (BookShelfBook05 *see below), preventing targets from becoming affected by multiple forced movement effects at once.
Enchanting
- Staff enchanters are no longer erroneously considered arcane enchanters (DLC/SSE versions only). (The only difference in keywords is a specific DLC keyword...)
- Cosmic Fire: updated description.
- Rods from the Gods: updated description.
Illusion
People have asked why Dream Thief is a prerequisite for several perks you want. This is because otherwise people would never even try the branch and just home in on the perks that make illusion spells stronger, because that's what they were looking for in the first place. (Notice how many level 100 perks have unusual perks as prerequisites.)
- Dream Thief: increased magnitude bonus from 25% -> 50%.
- Imposing Presence: increased magnitude bonus from 15% -> 25%.
- Kindred Mage: changed magnitude bonus to mind affecting spells from +0.1/0.2 per Illusion level -> +15/30. (Problem solved.)
- Nightfall: increased damage per second from 20 -> 30.
- Terror: can no longer disarm bound weapons.
- The Reaper Comes: the illusion can no longer be pickpocketed.
Light Armor
- Reworked the Wardancer cluster of perks, greatly simplifying scripting and reducing cognitive load.
When you avoid hits:
--- Wardancer: now grants 20% attack and crit damage that is lost for 6 seconds when you take an unblocked attack or hostile spell in combat.
--- Glancing Blow -> Glancing Blows: now grants 40% damage reduction to blocked attacks during Wardancer, as well as the unblocked attack that breaks Wardancer.
When you take hits:
--- Fight or Flight: now grants 5% Stamina regeneration per second for 6 seconds after you take an unblocked attack or hostile spell in combat.
--- Survival Instinct: now grants 10% speed for 6 seconds after you take an unblocked attack or hostile spell in combat.
- Swapped the location of Glancing Blows and Spelldancer in the perk tree.
- Renamed Scorn the Beast -> Annoying Mosquitoes.
- As a Leaf: now also halves power attack damage taken while sprinting.
- Evasive Leap: improved description. ("Ethereal" doesn't mean what people think it means.)
- Spelldancer: adapted to new Wardancer; changed domain from Destruction spells and effects -> elemental spells and effects.
- Tempting Fate: no longer stacks with itself and snowballs out of control.
- Wild and Free: updated description.
Lockpicking
- Bear Traps: following reports of crashes in classic Skyrim as well as SSE, the Drop Bear Trap power has been removed in both versions. (You can use the console to get it back or use AH Hotkeys.) (Thanks guys for posting this on the Steam forums at first instead of telling me.)
- Dungeoneer: now also increases the duration of Robber's Eye from 2 -> 6 minutes.
- Hotwire: increased leash radius from 100 -> 150 feet.
One-Handed
A major overhaul of especially the sword and neutral branches.
- Replaced And Stay Down -> Wandering Warrior.
- Replaced Cross Cut -> Split the Heavens.
- Replaced Thousand Cuts -> Judgment.
- Reworked Overwhelm -> Cross Cut: increased duration from 2 -> 4 seconds; no longer deals a critical strike, but deals 25/50% increased damage.
- Reworked Massive Attack -> Thundering Blow: reduced number of regular attacks to charge from 10 -> 8; reduced power attack damage bonus from 200% -> 100%; oh yeah, it ACTUALLY WORKS NOW.
- Aftershock: instead of its previous effects, now grants 75% attack speed for 3 seconds after a Thundering Blow.
- Bleed like a Lamb: no longer stacks, but pop now deals 10/15/20% -> 15/20/25% damage.
- Death Adder: updated description.
- Denting Blows: no longer stacks, but armor shred increased from 15/25/35 -> 50/75/100.
- Mangle: changed effect from 20/40% damage vs staggered targets -> 25/50% armor pierce vs staggered targets.
- Overrun: attack damage bonus changed from 25% -> 0-50% based on target HP%.
- Swaying Cobra: increased Magicka/Stamina drain from 75 -> 150.
- Unleash the Beast: updated description.
- Windswept: slightly improved script execution speed; added missing sound effect; now respects the forced movement keyword.
Restoration
Spirit Tutors is OP, but it pretty much has to be, otherwise no one would bother finding the tutors. Also, wards seem more and more hopeless: they don't even scale with restoration magnitude and Zealot's Ward broke them. Also, Inquisitor didn't work. Welp.
- Replaced Zealot's Ward -> Duel Ward. (Sorry for bug.)
- Updated the Warrior's Flame branch:
--- Replaced Inquisitor -> Sacred Flame.
--- Replaced Battlefield Priest -> Battle Cleric.
--- Replaced Fire and Steel -> Eternal Flame.
--- Replaced Revelation -> Apotheosis.
- Crusader's Fire: increased radius from 25 -> 30 feet. (Not retroactive.)
- Enduring Ideal: reduced healing bonus from 50% -> 25%.
- Mage Ward: now uses the correct animation.
- Overflowing Cup: changed amount from 50 -> 1 per level of Restoration. (People have asked for increased duration. No, because then it would fall into this spot where people think they are supposed to keep it going permanently, and will proceed to complain that the duration is too short to do so. This would lead to several more duration bumps until it may as well be a passive.)
- Tome of Many Pages: now increases a skill by 5 -> 15 points, but the bonus no longer scales with Restoration skill magnitude.
- Under my Wings: increased radius from 12 -> 20 feet.
- Warrior's Flame: added sound effect; no longer erroneously affected by resistance; updated description.
Smithing
- Heart of Creation: increased duration from 600 -> 900 seconds.
- Iron Lore: fixed incorrect magic effect descriptions.
Sneak
I have given up trying to "balance" sneak, since opinions about the effectiveness of this tree seem to be split between "stealth is ridiculously overpowered in Ordinator" and "stealth is completely useless in Ordinator". I stuck to vanilla stealth numbers (and have no idea why people expect this PERK mod to do anything else), it is up to you to get a stealth mod.
- Greased Lightning: fixed model for SSE.
- Smoke Curtain: fixed model for SSE.
- Right Behind You: increased bonuses from 10/20% -> 15/30%.
Speech
- Performer: now grants 1000 flat experience in addition to the experience granted by taking people's money.
- Speak With Animals: clarified description to indicate that you do get a power; increased leash radius from 100 -> 150 feet.
Two-Handed
A major overhaul of all branches.
- Reworked Ramming Speed -> Trample: reduced power attack damage bonus from up to 75% (actually up to 100%) -> up to 50%; now also grants a critical strike damage bonus of up to 50%.
- Avalanche: the damage and critical damage bonus now only applies to warhammer attacks instead of any attack.
- Batter: corrected misleading description.
- Bleed like a Dog: no longer stacks, but pop now deals 15/20/25% -> 20/25/30% damage.
- Crushing Blows: no longer stacks, but armor shred increased from 20/40/60 -> 75/100/125.
- Decimate: now deals 20% more damage for each nearby enemy.
- Flee Fool: target now trips after 3-6 -> 3-4 seconds; reduced duration from 10 -> 6 seconds.
- Massacre: reduced attack speed bonus from 200% -> 175%.
- Overthrow: can no longer disarm bound weapons.
- Rise and Fall: updated description.
- Rive: updated description.
- Subjugate: added cleave; no longer grants critical strike damage; added shader to make the effect more obvious.
- The Pendulum: added cleave; reduced damage bonus from 125% -> 50% (AoE knockdown shouldn't also deal huge damage); added a shake effect when it hits.
- Wolfkin: reduced number of power attacks needed from 3 -> 2.
Misc
- Included several missing scripts.
MCM
- Added MCM.
- Added MCM option to skip proximity detection on Thief's Eye.
- Added MCM option for Open Cities compatibility.
- Added MCM options to hide advanced crafting furniture models.
- Added MCM options to disable minions teleporting to your location.
Note for other mod authors: I use vanilla keywords to trade information between mods, as follows:
- BookShelfBook01: giving the player a magic effect with this keyword silently disables timed blocking in Wildcat/Smilodon. Used by the Timed Block perk in Ordinator.
- BookShelfBook02: giving the player a magic effect with this keyword silently disables stagger in Wildcat/Smilodon. Used by the Focus on the Prey perk in Ordinator.
- BookShelfBook05: keyword (and !HasKeyword condition) on all magic effects that cause forced movement (levitate/pull/push) to ensure only one of them can affect a target at a time.
- Respec if you have points in a significantly modified perk tree.
-
Version 8.30
- You may want to respec before updating if you have any of these perks.
The new Vancian Magic implementation is highly experimental. It works on a technical level, but may need some tuning in later updates if spells are too plentiful.
Alteration
- Added Vancian Magic.
- Added Quadratic Wizard.
- Added Dungeon Master.
- Removed Innate Magic.
- Removed Chosen One.
- Removed Warrior-Prophet.
Pickpocket
- Pickpocket Mastery: changed to an addition instead of multiplication.
- You may want to respec before updating if you have any of these perks.
-
Version 8.24
- Alteration
- Innate Magic: now reduces Magicka cost by half instead of full.
Archery
- Archery Mastery: fixed description.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: no longer spams the Thief's Luck dialogue.
- Alteration
-
Version 8.22
- There has been an infuriating amount of feedback that was basically "this mod is OP" without further information, so I was unable to make meaningful balance changes for this update.
Innate Magic has been overhauled to be less controversial. There will be a separate Vancian Magic mod at some point.
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okZpD1O2kmI
Misc
- The sneak detector now sets rather than mods the global state variable to avoid it going out of sync in case of a stack dump interrupting execution.
Alchemy
- World Serpent: disabled in werewolf form because power attacks are shouts.
Alteration
- Innate Magic overhaul:
--- Innate Magic: no longer disables your spells when you run out of spell slots, but spell effectiveness bonus removed (this had issues with projectile spells) and cap reduced from 4 -> 3 spells.
--- Chosen One: cap reduced from 7 -> 5 spells.
--- Warrior-Prophet: reduced damage and critical strike bonus from 20% -> 15%.
- Intuitive Magic: updated description to reflect change to Innate Magic.
- Philosopher's Stone: increased gold from 1x Alteration -> 2x Alteration.
Archery
- Archery Mastery: increased damage bonus from 20/40% -> 25/50%.
- Long Shot: improved description.
- Snipe: reduced critical strike damage bonus from x5 -> x3 (enchantment damage bonus is unaffected).
Destruction
- Absolute Power: added safeguard to restrict the perk to players.
- Cataclysm: increased cooldown from 30 -> 45 seconds.
- Conflagration: added condition to ensure the hazard only affects hostile targets.
- Ionized Path: fixed potential divide by zero state.
- Static Field:improved script execution speed.
Illusion
- Dream Geas: no longer suppresses the notification that a power has been added.
One-Handed
- Apex Predator: increased damage from 3% -> 4% and damage cap from 22.5 -> 40.
- Massive Attack: lowered threshold from 15 -> 10 attacks; fixed power attack damage being doubled instead of tripled.
- One-Handed Mastery: increased damage bonus from 20/40% -> 25/50%.
- Thousand Cuts: changed bonus damage from +100% @10 cuts -> +25% @5 cuts and +50% @10 cuts.
- Fixed some NPCs gaining some perks twice with ASIS.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: regenerated script to try and fix the disappearing effect bug. (This is the same thing as the Thunderchild meditation bug, where the game fails to fill script properties for no reason.)
Restoration
- False Light: reduced conversion rate from 80% -> 75%.
- In Thy Name: reduced damage bonus from 20% -> 15%.
- Lightwielder: reduced damage bonus from 20% -> 10%. (Total conversion rate 100%.)
- Under My Wings: now uses IsHostileToActor condition instead of GetShouldAttack.
Sneak
- Sneak Mastery: reduced effectiveness from 20/40% -> 15/30%.
- Right Behind You: reduced sneak bonus from 25% -> 10% at a moderate distance and 75% -> 20% at a close distance. (This was massively OP.)
Speech
- Shout perks disabled in werewolf form because power attacks are shouts.
- Speech Mastery: changed intimidation effectiveness from x2/x999 -> x2/x4 (since some intimidation checks are coded to always fail, guaranteeing success is a false promise).
- Speak With Animals: no longer suppresses the notification that a power has been added, in the (vain) hope that people will notice.
Two-Handed
- Avalanche: improved description.
- Flee Fool: reduced damage bonus from 50% -> 40% but increased likelihood to trip.
- Two-Handed Mastery: increased damage bonus from 20/40% -> 25/50%.
- There has been an infuriating amount of feedback that was basically "this mod is OP" without further information, so I was unable to make meaningful balance changes for this update.
-
Version 8.16
- Alteration
- Wild Shrines: fixed ability descriptions.
Archery
- Three Crows: first hit is free instead of attempting to do hit detection, making it more reliable.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: no longer disabled while using an unarmed weapon, due to side effects.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: now uses a keyword check instead of a magic effect check.
Speech
- Horn of Sovngarde: added error when carrying a shield.
- Performer: added error when carrying a shield.
- Alteration
-
Version 8.13
- Unfortunately, trying to maintain and keep in sync both the classic and SSE version turns out to be a very tall order. Either I keep porting the mod every time (risking bugs) or try to make the exact same changes in both mods (and inevitably miss something or go out of sync). I already screwed this up with Sacrosanct, so I don't think I'm going to be able to make many updates to Ordinator this way either. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq17FbuTDVo
Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: fixed missing script property causing the effect to persist if attempting to use a crafting object that is in use; regenerated script.
- That Which Does Not Kill You: fixed corrupted script (what's with the CK these days?).
Archery
- Lion's Arrow: using the power incorrectly will now clear the stored spell.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: using the power incorrectly will now clear the stored spell.
Heavy Armor
- Matching Heavy Set: added keyword Blades.
Light Armor
- Glancing Blow: fixed loophole where blocked damage is reduced to zero while Wardancer is active.
- Matching Light Set: added keywords ImperialLight, MS02Forsworn, ThievesGuild, ThievesGuildLeader, Penitus, Forsworn, BearStormcloak.
- Tempting Fate: duration reduced from 1 day -> 1 hour, offering an out if someone cheats to get the perk and doesn't have the prerequisites that also happen to dispel it.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: added some debug lines to the Papyrus log. Since I can't reproduce the issues some players are experiencing with it not sticking, they can now give me the Papyrus log.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: regenerated script.
- Fuel the Inferno: fixed missing script property causing the effect to persist if attempting to use a crafting object that is in use.
- Recycle Materials: fixed missing script property causing the effect to persist if attempting to use a crafting object that is in use.
- Unfortunately, trying to maintain and keep in sync both the classic and SSE version turns out to be a very tall order. Either I keep porting the mod every time (risking bugs) or try to make the exact same changes in both mods (and inevitably miss something or go out of sync).

-
Version 8.12
- Archery
- Ranger: added note to description to inform player of Skyrim bug. I can't believe I have to do this.
Block
- Quick Reflexes: added watchdog timer to fix Skyrim bug.
- Archery
-
Version 8.10
- Major bugfix update. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0ZAG3FaSE
Alteration
- Dimension Door: fixed mesh error.
Archery
- Trick Arrows: fixed mesh error with Death arrow model.
Block
- Deflect Arrows: now also reduces arrow damage from any direction by 25% while blocking.
Conjuration
- Barrow Lord: removed Bury/Exhume Skeletons power due to issues with disappearing skeletons. (While these reports are largely about SSE, I did receive a report that it also occurs in classic Skyrim. I made some changes to the power itself, which might fix this issue, but the bug is so crippling that I removed the power for now. To get the power back, use the console to give yourself the spell "Bury/Exhume Skeletons". If you need the power, do so. If you have been having issues with disappearing skeletons, absolutely do so and tell me if the issues persist. If the changes I made to the power fix the issue, I will add the power back in the next update.)
- Necromaster: sped up abandonment detection tick rate from 15 -> 10 seconds.
- Rat King: fixed ability maginv model.
- Daedra's Due: reduced model size growth from 1.25 -> 1.2.
Enchanting
- Fixed missing script property in several scripts that caused Gem Dust, Preserver and Arcane Nexus to stick around if the enchanting table is in use. (Unsurprisingly, only Preserver was reported because the bug was beneficial in the case of Gem Dust.)
- Channeler: now uses the correct ability.
- Miracle: perk disabled while holding Azura's Star, which allowed you to get unlimited Miracles.
- Spellscribe: is now disabled when you have "unarmed" equipped (this is the invisible weapon that is equipped to replace your weapons or spells when you start a brawl). To reenable it, equip anything else in your hands. This does not disable Spellscribe for unarmed builds as long as you remember to equip something else and go back to fists after the brawl completes.
Light Armor
- Evasive Leap: now has an animation; updated description to clarify that it only works in combat.
Lockpicking
- Bear Traps: increased arming delay from 0.25 -> 0.5.
Pickpocket
- Crime Wave: increased the delay before a new target is found from 2 -> 5 seconds.
- Stalk the Prey: changed from +50% -> +20 points to reduce the likelihood of overflow and negative pickpocket chance.
- Thief's Eye: no longer dispelled when you are flagged as arrested.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: fixed mesh error with Advanced Grindstone model.
- Heart of Creation: bloodforge is now silent.
Sneak
- Laughing Ghost: no longer slows time while active, due to a bug with Slow Time effects in Skyrim Special Edition; updated description to clarify that it is a sneak attack "attempt" and not guaranteed if you get detected while teleporting, etc.
Speech
- Speak with Animals: animal companion is now protected -> essential.
Two-Handed
- Massacre: no longer slows time while active, due to a bug with Slow Time effects in Skyrim Special Edition.
- Major bugfix update. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0ZAG3FaSE
-
Version 8.07
- Alchemy
- That Which Does Not Kill You: now correctly ends after 60 seconds.
Archery
- Lion's Arrow: now states that it only works with bows. (Inb4 QQ, but OnPlayerBowShot apparently means just that.)
Restoration
- Necromanticon: damage over time no longer persists through death.
- Alchemy
-
Version 8.06
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5WUYMlFgAg
Alchemy
- Chymical Wedding: fixed incorrect value in description.
- Witchmaster: fixed incorrect value in description.
Alteration
- Innate Magic: no longer erroneously disables enchantments as well.
Destruction
- Pyromancer Ascension: now includes an exception for Arc Burn.
Enchanting
- Miracle: fixed erroneous force push.
Speech
- Speak With Animals: shader is now non-persistent.
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5WUYMlFgAg
-
Version 8.05
- Attempted to replace the 8.04 file that was stuck in the system, got an error, was forced to update to 8.05. Made some tiny changes along the way. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2wafF_v3PE
One-Handed
- Into the Dust: increased damage per stack from 15% -> 20%. (Compared to Meteor Storm, you lose uncapped damage and functionally unrestricted duration and gain knockdown. This needs a very small damage bump to make it viable in situations where you can't trigger the knockdown.)
- Windswept: slightly increased stagger strength at maximum range to fix an issue where some enemies were not staggered at all.
- Attempted to replace the 8.04 file that was stuck in the system, got an error, was forced to update to 8.05. Made some tiny changes along the way. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2wafF_v3PE
-
Version 8.04
- Did some testing and the previous incarnation didn't feel good.
One-Handed
- And Stay Down: increased damage bonus from 50% -> 100%. (I may have undertuned this because Dust Storm was OP at 40% on release.)
- Overwhelm: increased critical strike damage from x2/x4 -> x2/x5. (More endgame scaling.)
- Windswept: reduced damage bonus from 60% -> 40%. (The easiest and most defensive combo shouldn't do the most damage.)
NPC perks
- Fixed an issue with NPC sword perks.
- Did some testing and the previous incarnation didn't feel good.
-
Version 8.03
- One-Handed
- Cross Cut: damage bonus increased from 40% -> 75%.
- Overwhelm: critical strike bonus increased from x2/x3 -> x2/x4. (Moreover, there was a bug that caused the critical strike multipliers for both levels to stack, so you actually did x6 critical damage at level 2. You know, the same amount as Smite. You know, the perk that is considered OP. Except without the 30 second cooldown. But hey, swords sure did no damage and were in dire need of a patch.)
- Windswept: now also deals up to 60% more damage.
- One-Handed
-
Version 8.02
- Unless major bugs surface in the next two weeks, this is the version that will be used for Skyrim SE. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkhmj3JZDuk
Alchemy
- Added Maenad.
- Removed Chemical Rage.
- Renamed Crimson Bull -> Crimson Haze. (Yes, yes, it was a Red Bull reference, I'm so clever. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.)
- Advanced Lab: made changes that have no impact on the game, but were an attempt to add a toggle for the lab visuals. This caused the perk to stop working entirely. Activate scripts are like that.
- Chymical Wedding: increased chance to proc from 40% -> 50%.
- Crimson Haze: reduced duration from 60 -> 30 seconds; updated description.
- Stimulants: increased duration from 10 -> 30 seconds.
- That Which Does Not Kill You: damage is now scripted and independent of difficulty; reduced duration from 180 -> 60 seconds.
- Witchmaster: increased chance to proc from 40% -> 50%. (Not retroactive, please respec.)
Archery
- Added Lion's Arrow.
- Deadeye: added optional Snipe prerequisite.
- Focus on the Prey: reduced level requirement from 70 -> 60.
Block
- Reworked Dominion: restores Health while blocking -> reduces all physical damage taken by 25% while blocking.
Conjuration
- Ravenous Dead: level cap is now increased by 50% -> 1% per level of Conjuration.
Destruction
- Runecaster: changed from +2 runes -> x3 runes to fix a weird bug.
Enchanting
- Renamed Wizard's Staff -> Secretkeeper.
- Renamed Staff Flux -> White Wizard.
Illusion
- Dream Thief: updated description.
- Heavy Weighs the Tapestry: no longer works on targets in a scene.
- Lamb to the Slaughter: no longer works on targets in a scene.
One-Handed
- And Stay Down: no longer restores Health and Stamina. (Unimmersive.)
Restoration
This tree was the epitome of the overfilled tree with random perks. These changes should make each perk more recognisable and therefore make the perk tree clearer at a glance.
- Renamed Evangelist -> Battlefield Priest.
- Renamed Paragon -> Sacred Guardian.
- Renamed The Divine Within -> Pilgrim.
- Renamed To Ashes -> Ashes to Ashes.
- Afterglow: no longer considered a hostile attack on all nearby targets; is now unresistable.
- Ashes to Ashes: clarified description.
- Bastion Ward: added a ward for Ganymede, too.
- Crusader's Fire: is now correctly flagged as a restoration spell; now also increases critical strike damage.
- Enduring Ideal: no longer disables Wheel of Life entirely when you use a heal, but resets the delay to 30 seconds.
- Exorcist: now reduces armor and magic resistance instead of increasing damage and magic effectiveness.
- False Light: increased heal to damage conversion from 75% -> 80%.
- Fire and Steel: now also increases critical strike damage.
- Lightwielder: increased damage bonus from 15% -> 20%.
- Revelation: increased direct damage from 375 -> 750; increased allied damage bonus from 500% -> 1000%.
- Sacred Guardian: is now correctly flagged as a restoration spell; improved description.
- Warrior's Flame: is now correctly flagged as a restoration spell.
- Wheel of Life: made description more immersive.
Smithing
- Smithing Mastery: second level no longer allows improving iron and hide items twice as much, but improves all items by 10%. (CCOR modifies the first level to include iron and hide items, which resulted in a conflict. What choice did I have? Revert by setting ORD_Smh_SmithingMastery_Global_SwitchEffect to 1.)
Speech
- Irresistible Dance: no longer works on targets in a scene.
- Performer: no longer works on targets in a scene.
- Speak With Animals: no longer works on targets in a scene.
Two-Handed
- Flee Fool: now correctly considered a fear effect; reduced trip frequency from 2-5 -> 3-8.
- Unless major bugs surface in the next two weeks, this is the version that will be used for Skyrim SE. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkhmj3JZDuk
-
Version 8.01
- Maces again, and Demolition Job. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsQdLMqZykc
Enchanting
- Last Word: removed scroll copy functionality since it doesn't work.
One-Handed
- Denting Blows: now works on targets wearing any piece of armor (+ automatons and dragons) instead of just targets wearing chest armor.
- Meteor Storm: reduced extra damage and stamina cost from 20% -> 15%; fixed potential rounding error.
- Overrun: reduced critical strike damage bonus from 100% -> 50%; fixed attack damage bonus.
- Smite: reduced critical strike damage bonus against undead from x6/x12 -> x4/x8.
Sneak

Version 8.00
- To update, respec. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWzSbkwqrIA
---
Misc
- Removed a cell ITM.
- Fixed a location error when using Dragonborn.
Alchemy
Making the buff perks only trigger when you use a potion and not an ingredient does not seem possible.
- Stimulants: no longer stacks with itself.
Alteration
"Here the birth from an unbroken line
Born the healer, the seventh, his time
Unknowingly blessed, and as his life unfolds
Slowly unveiling the power he holds"
- Added Innate Magic.
- Added Chosen One.
- Added Warrior-Prophet.
- Removed Vancian Magic. #Courage
- Removed Quadratic Wizard.
- Removed 7th Circinate.
- Intuitive Magic: adapted to work with Innate Magic.
- Energy Shield: reduced damage absorption from 50% -> 25% but reduced mana drain from x3 -> x1 of damage taken. (Mana drain is not retroactive. Respec. Or cry.)
- Spellblade: increased level requirement from 30 -> 40; reduced bonus damage from 25% -> 20%.
Block
Rockin' Beats.
- Renamed Untouchable -> Dragon Scales. (They could still touch you, they just couldn't damage you.)
- Apocalypse Proof: no longer generates timed block messages; improved description to clarify that this counts as a timed block.
- Dominion: changed regeneration bonus from +50% -> 5 points of Health per second.
- Timed Block: timed block message now displays correctly if the attacker is out of melee range; added event flood control so multiple instances of simultaneous timed blocking no longer causes a spike in script load; there is now a visible icon in SkyUI; improved description.
- Timing Streak: slightly reduced script load; added event flood control; improved description.
Conjuration
There is unfortunately no way to implement a way to make skeletons stay out of your way. But did you know that giving them a follow order causes them to cluster behind you instead of around you?
- Added Rat King back, however it now summons 6 -> 3 rats.
- Barrow Lord: now also comes with a power that buries or exhumes your skeletons.
- Bone Collector: "Heel" command is now "Follow".
- Edge of Oblivion: punishment shader is less visually intrusive.
- March of Oblivion: fixed deceptive description.
- Necromaster: now also increases the level cap of reanimation spells.
- Signed in Blood: no longer permanently drains your Health regeneration. (To fix yours, type Player.GetAV HealRate; Player.ModAV HealRate [positive value equal to negative amount + 0.7].)
Destruction
A partial revert of the previous nerfs because I found out that War of the Elements is the actual problem.
- Renamed Burn the Past -> Scorched Earth. (Duh.)
- Reworked Ancient Seals: sneak attack for runes -> runes now deal damage over time. (Sneak attack for runes is moved to Demolition Job in the Sneak tree).
- Runecaster: now adds x3 -> +2 runes.
- Scorched Earth: increased fire hazard damage per second from 40 -> 50.
- Stormblast: increased shock damage from 50 -> 60.
- War of the Elements: reduced attack damage bonus from 50% -> 30%.
- World in Flames: increased fire damage bonus from 20% -> 25%.
Enchanting
One of these was long overdue.
- Battlemage: reduced enchantment power and duration bonus while power attacking from 25/50% -> 20/40%.
- Last Word: level 2 now gives 10% chance to create 5 copies instead of 5% to create 10 copies, improving consistency. (Not retroactive. Respec.)
- Might and Magic: reduced attack and spell damage from 25% -> 20%.
- Spellscribe: can now only store projectile, contact and actor target spells. (For a power that allows you to cast lightning from your hammer with power attacks, the fact that self healing spells were by far the best thing to put into it and represented a huge power boost was a problem.)
Heavy Armor
- Added Doombringer. (Counterpart to Spelldancer, by popular request.)
- Added Face of the Mountain. #FaceIsThePlace
- Immortal: now correctly requires wearing Heavy Armor; changed level requirement from 100 -> 90. (I still think this perk is underestimated even in high lethality environments. You may take enough damage to drop below the threshold but not die, in which case it will prevent you from dying immediately afterwards. Demoting it from capstone status should allow it to stand on its own without the pressure of a level 100 perk.)
- Primal Fear: standardised description.
- Rallying Standard: changed from GetShouldAttack() to IsHostileTo().
- Reap the Whirlwind: improved script execution speed; fixed error in description.
- Rise Above: standardised descripton.
- Sovereign: increased damage reduction from 50% -> 75%.
Illusion
- Renamed Quiet Casting -> Quiet Before the Storm.
- Quiet Before the Storm: now has 2 levels, the second of which also silences shouts.
Lockpicking
If you ever lose your hotwired automaton, stand still out of combat for a few seconds and it will teleport to you if it is over 100 feet away. This also goes for skeletons, etc.
One-Handed
- Added Rogue's Parry.
- Bite Marks: increased duration from 30 seconds -> 30/45/60 seconds.
- Cross Cut: added immersive explanation to description.
- Death Adder: increased armor pierce from 75% -> 100%.
- Man O'War: changed each stack from 2% attack damage -> 1% attack damage and 1% attack speed.
- Overrun: changed from +50% damage/+100% (actually +200%) crit damage above 90% Health -> +25% damage/up to +100% crit damage above 50% Health based on remaining Health.
- Smite: reduced critical strike multiplier from 3/7 -> 3/6.
- Toll the Bell: reduced damage bonus from 1.5% per point of Stamina -> 1% per point of Stamina.
Smithing
- Reworked Heart of Creation: permanent stat bonus -> 10 minute buff to attack damage, critical strike damage, and damage resistance.
- Unlinked Counterfeit. ("Doesn't give infinite gold with CCOR" should be a low hurdle to clear.)
- Smithing Mastery: level 2 priority is no longer zero.
Sneak
- Renamed Demolition Mission -> Demolition Job. (To avert an awful accidental alliteration.)
- Renamed Wicked Wind -> Laughing Ghost.
- Backup Plan: placed tripwires no longer harm you. (You can still set them off, but they won't trip you.)
- Demolition Job: changed level requirement from 70 -> 30; changed bonus from 300% -> 3% per Sneak level or 5% for runes.
- Laughing Ghost: sneak effectiveness bonus while teleporting increased from x5 -> x20 to reduce the chance of getting immediately detected; now sets the target to unconscious instead of immobile.
- Tripwire: placed tripwires no longer harm you.
- Whiplash: increased duration from 3 -> 4 seconds.
Speech
- Horn of Sovngarde: no longer applies to followers; level 1 duration increased from 3 -> 10 minutes. (Level 2 still lasts one ingame day.)
- Speak with Animals: dialog option no longer displays when activating an animal follower.
Two-Handed
- Unlinked Staggering Impact.
- Ramming Speed: changed from +100% damage above 90% Health -> up to +75% damage above 50% Health based on remaining Health.
- To update, respec. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWzSbkwqrIA

- Enough is enough.
Conjuration
- Removed Rat King.
- Enough is enough.
-
Version 7.73
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCHceyuKhFM
Archery
- Focus on the Prey: now grants immunity to bow interrupts from Wildcat, if you have Wildcat 5.xx.
Light armor
- Tempting Fate: added ASIS exclusion keyword. (So basically every light armor using NPC was broken with ASIS. This has been the case since release. This was reported just now. Sigh.)
Restoration
- Spirit Tutors: fixed magiceffect description.
Misc
- Scroll of Legends: now also resets PerksQuest.
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCHceyuKhFM
-
Version 7.71
- Destruction
- Burn the Past: no longer ignores the MagicNoDistintegration keyword.
- Destruction
-
Version 7.70
- There will be no additional features until Skyrim SE. The world needs stability. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwAr6ciwoUg
Destruction
Apparently Destruction was OP.
- Basic destruction perks (Combustion/Ionized Path/Merciless Cold) reduced effectiveness from 30/60% -> 30/50%.
- Master destruction perks (Cataclysm/Absolute Power/Glacial Prison) reduced magic resist penalty from 50% -> 25%.
- Burn the Past: reduced ground fire damage from 50 -> 40 per second.
- Conflagration: reduced ground fire damage from 10 -> 8 per second.
- Crystalize: increased armor penalty from 50 -> 125.
- Frostfall: no longer fails against targets whose damage is already reduced by 50% or more.
- Magnetize: no longer erroneously works on restrained (immobilised) or flying targets.
- Shatter: no longer erroneously weakened by magic resistance.
- Stormblast: no longer counts as a hostile attack; reduced damage from 60 -> 50; fancied up description.
- World in Flames: reduced effectiveness from 25% -> 20%.
Restoration
One of the more cryptic schools, due to the large web of perks with florid but nonsensical names. Also one of the more broken schools, with several overpowered multipliers that needed a strong nerf.
- Updated perk tree layout: the perks are mostly in the same place, but the tree has more distinct branches.
- Added Chalice of Tears.
- Added Necromanticon.
- Removed Bitter Wine.
- Removed Grail of Tears.
- Renamed Burns the Sun -> Fire and Steel.
- Renamed Pestilence -> Plague Doctor.
- Renamed Rapture -> Evangelist.
- Renamed Supremacy -> Vigilant.
- Renamed Test of Faith -> Lightwielder.

- False Light: reduced damage from 80% of heal amount -> 75% of heal amount.
- Lightwielder: reduced damage bonus from 25% -> 15%.
- Spirit Tutors: reduced effectiveness multiplier from 1% per 12.5 Magicka per buff -> 1% per 20 Magicka per buff.
- Zealot's Ward: improved ward strength from 300 -> 400 points.
- There will be no additional features until Skyrim SE. The world needs stability. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwAr6ciwoUg

Version 7.65
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n64TNc0J6nQ
Misc
- There is now a version that does not contain any game settings changes, to gauge interest.
Alchemy
I'm the milkman. My milk is delicious. Special delivery today.
- Elemental Oil: is now set off by any hit from an actor source, regardless of type (= any projectile or explosion).
- The Alchemist's Cookbook: parity changes to match Elemental Oil.
Alteration
- Alteration Dual Casting: no longer states the amount of extra effectiveness and cost, to accomodate mods that change these values.
- Energy Shield: is now again based on current Health instead of attempting to calculate missing Health, greatly reducing script load.
Archery
Good heavens, just look at the time.
- Added Deadeye.
- Removed Takedown.
- Slightly rearranged the skill tree again. (Left hand side now has your most used programs. Right hand side has tiles.)
- Renamed Arrow to the Knee -> Crippling Shot. (Le dank meme 2012 xdddd.)
- Clean Kill: reduced level requirement from 30 -> 20.
- Crippling Shot: no longer reduces speed if the target is already moving at less than 10% -> 15% speed; updated description.
- Snipe: weapon enchantment magnitude bonus 50% -> 100%; updated description for clarity.
- Pinning Shot: added 50 feet range limit; now works correctly on NPCs.
Conjuration
Q: why no perk that buffs the magic element that corresponds to the atronach you have out? A: because dremora are keyworded as flame atronachs. If you see this perk in some other mod, it either hardcoded a list of spells (compatibility) or just didn't notice.
- Added Signed in Blood.
- Conjuration Dual Casting: no longer states the amount of extra effectiveness and cost, to accomodate mods that change these values.
- Edge of Oblivion: fixed withdrawal sickness stagger effect.
Destruction
- Destruction Dual Casting: no longer states the amount of extra effectiveness and cost, to accomodate mods that change these values.
- Glacial Prison: now releases targets 2 seconds after death.
- Pyromancer Ascension: duration increased from 10 -> 20 seconds; fire spell damage bonus increased from 40% -> 50%; cost reduction reduced from 100% -> 50%.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: now clarifies that it works with power bashes as well.
Heavy Armor
- Warbringer: moved armor conditions to the buff magiceffect to reduce script load
Illusion
- Illusion Dual Casting: no longer states the amount of extra effectiveness and cost, to accomodate mods that change these values.
- Activate perks that force an idle (Heavy Weighs the Tapestry, Lamb to the Slaughter) now flag the target as restrained, preventing interruption by staggers and knockdowns.
Light Armor
Quivering Palm and Ring Out have been delayed to the next patch due to technical issues. Also, the award for most script intensive Ordinator perk went to...
- Renamed One Step Ahead -> Evasive Leap.
- Initiative: moved armor conditions to the buff magiceffect to reduce script load; further reduced script load by eliminating conditions intended to fix the brawl bug, which now is handled by the included Modern Brawl Bugs Patch.
- Wardancer: moved armor conditions to the buff magiceffect to reduce script load; being ethereal or invisible when Wardancer wants to apply a stack no longer erroneously shuts down Wardancer altogether until you get hit; fixed error that caused the buff to be removed when affected by a NON-hostile spell instead of a hostile spell (potentially preventing the buff from ever being applied if the opponent is an Imperious Nord or other actor with a cloak).
- Survival Instinct: changed armor bonus from 25 -> 100 but no longer stacks.
Lockpicking
- Bear Traps: now comes with a Drop Bear Trap power. #DropTheBear
- Big Game Hunter: slightly reduced scale bonus to prevent collision with very large actors (bigger than scale 1.05); increased the delay before the trap activates from 0.1 -> 0.25 seconds.
Restoration
- Restoration Dual Casting: no longer states the amount of extra effectiveness and cost, to accomodate mods that change these values.
Two-Handed
- Avalanche: fixed typo.
- The Pendulum: now resets the two hit combo when it triggers, so it takes 2 hits instead of 1 to trigger the knockdown again; damage bonus increased from 75% -> 125%.
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n64TNc0J6nQ
-
Version 7.60
- You may need to respec if you have Robber's Eye/Dungeoneer.
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30ePqXyjQ9E
Conjuration
- Brand of the Necromancer: clarified description; added a message that is displayed when a target is branded.
Enchanting
- Cosmic Fire: reduced bonus from 25/50% -> 20/40%.
Heavy Armor
- Rallying Standard: apparently I have to tell people that it affects you.
Illusion
- Quiet Casting: level requirement reduced from 50 -> 40.
Lockpicking
- Dungeoneer: no longer stops working after you reload a save.
- Robber's Eye: added a few more keywords to accomodate locations with combined roles but no keywords for each of them (castle, guild, house, inn, store, temple).
One-Handed
- Overrun: now triggers on targets above 90% Health instead of 100% Health.
Two-Handed
- Ramming Speed: now triggers on targets above 90% Health instead of 100% Health.
- You may need to respec if you have Robber's Eye/Dungeoneer.
-
Version 7.57
- I wonder why these things are not reported for much longer than it should take everyone to notice them. The consequence is that I now have to release a whole new update instead of just rolling this minor but important change into the previous update. :(
Blocking
- Timing Streak: fixed notification so it doesn't claim a timing streak is 5 blocks.
- I wonder why these things are not reported for much longer than it should take everyone to notice them. The consequence is that I now have to release a whole new update instead of just rolling this minor but important change into the previous update. :(

Version 7.56
- These updates are dragging on. I should really settle on a "definitive 7.xx" version. Anyway, something something critical strikes. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXPJF8Aweuw
Light Armor
- Lightning Strike: increased critical strike damage bonus from 50% -> 75%.
One-Handed
- Coiling Python: increased critical strike damage bonus from x6 -> x9.
- Go for the Throat: increased critical strike damage bonus per stack from 200% -> 250%.
Two-Handed
- Grand Slam: increased critical strike damage bonus per point of Stamina from 2% -> 3%.
- Subjugate: increased critical strike damage bonus from x2 -> x3.
- These updates are dragging on. I should really settle on a "definitive 7.xx" version. Anyway, something something critical strikes. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXPJF8Aweuw

Version 7.55
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xFYdpY5JA
Two-Handed
- Changed Rise and Fall from x0.33/x3 -> x1/x2 damage.
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_xFYdpY5JA
-
Version 7.54
- Two-Handed
- Added Avalanche.
- Removed Strike the Anvil.
- Massacre: cooldown is now 1 second longer than the speed boost duration.
- Two-Handed
-
Version 7.53
- General
- Updated the included copy of the Modern Brawl Bug Fix to 1.04.
- General
-
Version 7.52
- General
- Included the Modern Brawl Bug Fix scripts with Ordinator.
Block
- Mocking Blow: now also drains the target's Stamina over time; duration is now consistently 30 seconds instead of varying depending on your other perks.
- Untouchable: no longer requires you to be at full Health.
Heavy Armor
- Renamed Giant's Stride -> Bedrock.
- Rallying Standard: replaced (glitchy) Summerset banner with Dawnguard banner. (Note: the Dawnguard banner is not identical to the vanilla one, due to copyright reasons.)
Illusion
- Renamed Panic -> Terror. (Long story.)
- Wraithwalker: magnitude and duration bonuses now work.
Restoration
- Added Pestilence.
- Removed Sealed Doom.
- Bitter Wine: no longer breaks brawls.
- False Light: reduced heal to damage conversion from 100% -> 80%. (This perk line is ridiculously powerful and needs a MINOR nerf.)
- Grail of Tears: now also affects Pestilence.
- Test of Faith: increased damage bonus from 10% -> 25%.
- They Shall Know: increased damage bonus from 15% -> 20%.
Apocalypse 9.xx also nerfs the Infinite Light spell so it doesn't translate into Infinite DPS anymore. False Light is still very strong (especially since it ignores all resistances and is affected by all healing spell buffs) but no longer kills anything in about two seconds.
- General
-
Version 7.51
- Alteration
- Resonance Cascade: magic resist debuff changed from 10% for 10 seconds -> 30% for 5 seconds and no longer stacks.
- Vancian Magic: moved node to avoid text overlap.
Archery
Perk that didn't make it in: 'Yrodiil - shoot into the air to launch Imperial fireworks that rain down bolts of FREEDOM on enemies nearby, dealing random elemental damage. It proved just about impossible to aim. :(
Conjuration
- Dark Whispers: increased damage bonus from 5% -> 20% and armor bonus from 15 -> 100, but no longer stacks and duration reduced from 10 -> 5 seconds.
- Hollow Binding/Covenant of Coldharbour: reduces magic resistance by 15% -> 30% but no longer stacks. (It is still affected by magic resistance, so consecutive applications will further reduce magic resistance, but this now has diminishing returns instead of increasing returns.)
- Rend From This World: no longer adds a useless magic effect to the target's effects menu.
- Void Burn: now drains 10 -> 15 points of Magicka and Stamina per second, but no longer stacks with itself.
Note that all bound weapon effects with a duration are affected by Conjuration Mastery.
Destruction
- Added Outburst.
- Removed Phoenix Fire.
- Absolute Power: no longer works on dragons.
- Arc Burn: now ignores fire resistance. (It still only works on targets with 0 or less fire resistance and still counts as a fire effect (but not fire spell) for the purpose of perks, so the only consequence is a nerf against targets with negative fire resistance, and crucially, procs like Magnetize are no longer also affected by fire resistance.)
- Elemental Specialization: added an exception so Shock Specialization no longer reduces the damage of Arc Burn.
- Flash Fire: reduced proc chance from 20% -> 15%, reduced flee duration from 6 -> 4 seconds, increased blast damage bonus from 100% -> 125%.
- Frostfall: debuff is slightly more responsive, but Shatter is slightly less responsive.
- Glacial Prison: flying targets are now immune until they land.
- Magnetize: reduced proc chance from 20% -> 15%; now has a 5 second cooldown per target.
- Shatter: explosion is now silent and forceless; resistance debuff no longer aggros neutral targets.
- Stormblast: narrowed cooldown spread from 4-15 -> 6-12 seconds.
- War of the Elements: fixed incorrect description.
- World in Flames: reduced level requirement from 90 -> 80.
- NPCs with level 2 fire perks now have World in Flames instead of Phoenix Fire.
Perk that didn't make it in: With This Wooden Sword/Humble Beginnings/Field Practice/whatever - Novice destruction spells are 2% more powerful per level of destruction, but cost 4% more per level of destruction. The problem is that novice destruction spells all have the problem that rapidly clicking is more effective than holding down the button, so there is little value to be had in preserving them.
Q: Why no elemental combo perk like Force of Nature in Path of Sorcery? A: Most perks are single element only, so this perk would have to be EXTREMELY good to make up for having to spend twice as many points. The alternative is that you still only max one element, and use the other element as nothing more than a trigger and disregard its damage, which then puts it into competition with dual wielding the actual damaging spell instead (Pyroclasm syndrome).
Light Armor
- Sweeping Wind: updated description. (There was a bug that was introduced when the scaling was changed from +1% -> +2% per point of bonus movement speed, causing it to deal double base damage if you have any kind of movement speed bonus. Since unarmed balance ended up fine anyway, it is being kept as a feature.)
Lockpicking
- Gone in Fifteen Seconds: clarified description.
- Seen This Before: now grants 2 perk points if you have picked at least 100 locks; bypassing a lock now increments the Locks Picked stat by 1. (The 100 locks are not meant as a challenge, but as a way to verify that you've actually seen a lock in your life and didn't just level up Lockpicking off automatons and bear traps.)
Restoration
- False Light: no longer excludes Guardian Circle or Grand Healing.
Sneak
Perk that didn't make it in: Sleeper Agent - When fighting 4 or more enemies, a random enemy will become friendly and fight for you. ENGAGING TC-130 MENTAL DISLOCATOR. Discarded because it doesn't appeal to any build.
Speechcraft
- Added Hurricane Force.
- Added Thu'um of War.
- And the Universe Listens: improved script speed by 1 frame if you have two points in Force Redoubled. (Yay.)
- Dovahzulaan: increased duration from 60 -> 120 seconds.
- Gift of Kynareth: updated description.
- Windborne: updated description.
There has been some demand for shout power and cooldown bonuses in this tree. But excessive shout power without shout resets only makes fights binary: either you can delete the enemies with one cast or not. And shout cooldown snowballs as you collect more of it, until the game breaks at 100%.
- Alteration
-
Version 7.46
- Conjuration
- Bone Collector: the sack of bones at each altar now contains 4 -> 8 random bones.
- Rat King: no longer automatically disabled when sneaking, but comes with the "Merciful King" power to disable it.
Enchanting
- Spellscribe: no longer increases the Stamina cost of the power attack that triggers it.
Heavy Armor
- Heavy Armor Mastery: now states in the description that it grants experience.
Restoration
- They Shall Know: now correctly works with the Blessing of the Sky (since Bethesda forgot the MagicBlessing keyword).
Two-Handed
- Slayer of a Thousand Sons: no longer potentially breaks brawls.
Misc
- Included updated assets from Apocalypse 9.00.
- Conjuration
-
Version 7.45
- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_vYIT2sxo0
Archery
- Perfect Aim: improved script speed.
I tried Arcane Archer, a perk that adds elemental damage of your choice to arrows. It worked fine, but the effect felt so underwhelming that I got rid of it again.
Block
- Apocalypse Proof: improved script speed in most situations by fast failing non-hostile spells at the cost of minor speed loss when struck by an elemental spell.
- Mocking Blow: added ASIS exclusion suffix; updated description.
- Poke the Dragon: removed stagger effect; added range limit.
- Timed Block: added stagger effect; block effectiveness bonus reduced from 40% -> 30%.
- Timing Streak: slightly improved script speed.
Note: reducing elemental damage with Apocalypse Proof counts as a successful timed block for the purpose of resetting the cooldown on Timed Block and applying Poke the Dragon to a target within 8 feet, but will not stagger the attacker and will not trigger the sound or message.
Note: your timing streak is not reset when you get bashed, regardless of whether or not you (attempt to) block the bash.
Conjuration
- Renamed Sympathetic Magic -> Puppet Master.
- King of Bones: now correctly reduces damage taken by half instead of 40%.
Destruction

Version 7.41
- Alchemy
- Stimulants: now works correctly again. (Remove and add the perk using the console.)
Block
- Timed Block: now automatically overrides the timed block feature in Wildcat with no user input required (if you take the perk after updating, otherwise you have to remove and readd the Timed Block perk); now displays a message when you successfully do a timed block. (Turn this off by typing "set ORD_Bck_DisableTimedBlockMessage_Global to 1" into the console)
- Alchemy
-
Version 7.40
- Alchemy
- Chymical Wedding: fixed race condition that caused it to become unreliable in high script load conditions.

Destruction
- Flash Fire: reduced damage bonus from 200% -> 100%; corrected issue with flee component.
- Frostfall: slightly improved script execution speed.
One-Handed
- Bleed like a Lamb: pop damage reduced from 10/15/20% of damage taken -> 5/10/15% of damage taken due to dual wielding and stacking. (f you attack 4 times in 3 seconds with a dual power attack, this means you deal 31% more overall damage, down from 46%.)
Smithing
- Dwarven Autocannon: increased damage from 30/35% of Smithing skill -> 30/40% of Smithing skill.
- Spin Up: increased fire rate bonus from +1% -> +2%.
Note on the repeatedly requested perk that grants bonuses based on armor material: since Ordinator does not require the DLC, using DLC armor keywords is not possible. I have no interest in tanking complaints, so the perk has been put on hold for now. Use the mod Weapons and Armor Attributes. (You can give yourself the few implemented effects with the console. Find the spells with name "Armormaster" and add them. xx0CA7B0 is Daedric: -10% damage taken outside at night. xx0CA7B4 is Dwarven: -25% damage taken when facing a compass direction. xx0CA7B8 is Steel: -25% damage taken during your wind-up swing. All three need at least 3 pieces of corresponding armor.)

- Distorted Shape: corrected error in description.
- Vancian Magic: no longer erroneously triggers off scrolls if you have more than one scroll of the same type.
Archery
There have been some complaints that there is no distinction between shortbows and longbows as in PerMa. Aside from the fact that this distinction relies on the hellish PaMa patcher to work, I don't believe that there is a meaningful difference between both weapons that warrants locking out half of the tree. The perks themselves encourage long ranged or short ranged combat depending on which branch you choose.
- Slightly rearranged the skill tree, hopefully for the last time.
- Arrow to the Knee: will not slow the target if this would cause its movement speed to become zero or negative.

- Renamed Mystic Warrior -> Spellscribe.
- Renamed War Mage -> Power Echoes.
- Cosmic Fire: increased charge drain rate from 10 -> 15 points per second.

Illusion
- Kindred Mage: reduced level cap bonus per Illusion level from 0.15 -> 0.1, or 0.35 -> 0.2 against targets of the same race. (This bonus was applied before any multipliers from other perks, making it overwhelmingly strong.)

Pickpocket
- Dragon Hoard: changed prerequisites to Doomed to Plunder, Crime Wave or Stalk the Prey.

Version 7.30

Block
- Deliverance: reduced damage bonus from 20% -> 10% to accomodate easier Timing Streaks.
- Timing Streak: made easier by reducing streak length from 5 -> 3 blocked hits, but reduced the payoff from 150 -> 75 Stamina. (You need to remove and readd the perk to update it.)
Enchanting
- Arcane Nexus: updated description.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: updated description (people are idiots).
Sneak
- Tripwire: dust explosion is now silent.

Version 7.25
- Conjuration
- Necromaster: now works on all reanimated undead humanoids (workaround for a vanilla bug where Dread Zombie/Dead Thrall buffs disappear on worldspace transition, which made the perk not work anymore).
Lockpicking
- Dungeoneer: no longer activates and consequently fails if the outdoors area around the dungeon entrance has the LocTypeDungeon keyword. (This may require removing and readding Robber's Eye and Dungeoneer.)
- Robber's Eye: changed magiceffect name.
Pickpocket
- fPickPocketMaxChange: 99 -> 95 (vanilla 90).
- Cutpurse: reduced effectiveness from +50% -> +25%; changed description to differentiate it from Pickpocket Mastery.

- Stalk the Prey: is now multiplicative instead of additive.

- Glacial Prison: name is now correct everywhere.
- Stormblast: reduced blast radius from 12 -> 9 feet; corrected description.

----
Fun fact: here are some more perks I didn't include but implemented in a semi-working state in the recent past.
- Giant's Stride: sprint in heavy armor and crash into targets to stagger them. Abandoned due to animation delays plus script delays.
- Steal from the Rich: creates several respawning nobles in cities to pickpocket for phat loot. Abandoned because the nobles couldn't sleep anywhere.
- Make it Rain/Money Shot: your bow transfers gold to the target for extra damage. Abandoned because too weird.
- Manastorm: adds the "manastorm" weather to each location, granting spellpower and magicka regeneration when active. Abandoned because it wasn't useful.
- Mind Spiders: level 100 Illusion activate perk that binds a target to the ground and creates lots of small illusory spiders to attack them. Abandoned because it didn't know how to handle sloped ground.
- Wicked Wind: chain teleport behind each enemy in range and sneak attack them while time stands still. Abandoned because it was too easy to glitch.
- Hostile Territory/Crazy Prepared: when entering combat, a random nearby object glows to indicate that it is booby trapped and can be attacked or shot to cause an explosion. Abandoned because many objects are invisible and no way to filter them out.
- Daedric Plaything: gain extra conjured atronachs at the cost of random bad luck that would occasionally befall you (temporarily lose a spell, can't open inventory, HUD disappears, teleported naked in front of Ulfric, etc). Abandoned because people would get annoyed.
- Death in Three Acts: swinging a weapon while sneaking slows time and increases sneak attack damage while you keep killing enemies, then a large sneak effectiveness bonus when you stop killing. Abandoned because way too complicated.
- Shoelace Prank: activate a target while in pickpocket position to apply a debuff that causes them to trip and fall upon entering combat. Abandoned due to similarities with Tripwire.
- Ex Nihilo: lose all magicka when entering combat, then regenerate it faster. Abandoned because the mod has enough alternative magicka mechanics already.
- Yay, update #100. As promised: just polish, no new features.
-
Version 7.15
- Ordinator may have attained its final form. Future updates will only fix bugs and iterate on existing perks, not add or replace perks.

- Big Game Hunter: increased reset delay from 2.0 -> 2.5 seconds; reset now works correctly on Dragon's Teeth traps.
- Dragon's Teeth: explosion is now silent; corrected message.
One-Handed
- And Stay Down: improved description. (I like how people complain it is OP because there is "no cooldown" even though it totally has a cooldown. Balance feedback based on perk descriptions, yay.)
- Coiling Python: improved description.
Restoration
- Added Sealed Doom.
- Bastion Ward: effect is now doubled if using Zealot's Ward.
- Bitter Wine: now only affects living targets. (Being disease damage, this was already more or less the case.)

Sneak
- Added Wicked Wind.
- Removed Laughing Ghost.
Two-Handed
- The Pendulum: increased window of opportunity from 6 -> 10 seconds.

- Command Lock: no longer works on locks that are already zero; updated description.
Conjuration
- Pact Magic: corrected description to reflect that it also works on Destruction effects that aren't spells.
Destruction
- Eat This: fixed excess damage; now deals damage based on current instead of maximum Health; damage is now correctly affected by magic resistance. (When "20% Health damage" deals 80% or more, you'd think this would get reported as a bug at some point. Instead, people just go to other forums and tell the world that Destruction is broken and imbalanced in Ordinator. Sigh.)
Heavy Armor
- Iron Maiden: reduced damage reflection from 15% -> 10% to accomodate lower difficulty levels.
Illusion
- Neverworld: increased duration from 10 -> 30 seconds; no longer activates if the target is affected by The Reaper Comes.

Version 7.11
- 1 million views and 100K unique downloads! This mod is officially more popular than Urgot. <3
Alteration
- Arcane Thesis: power now checks if player is in the dual cast animation instead of if the spell is dual cast (to accomodate mods that rapidly Cast() spells on the player).
- Nullifier: very important immersion change.
- Welloc's Dormant Arcana: fixed dialog box value.
- Wild Shrines: fixed description.
Enchanting
- Ceremonial Enchanter (the unused but console accessible perk) has been blanked, because there seem to be players who end up with the perk without intending to, and then their enchanting table doesn't work anymore.
- Mystic Warrior: power now checks if player is in the dual cast animation instead of if the spell is dual cast (to accomodate mods that rapidly Cast() spells on the player).
Illusion
- Added Night Eye by popular demand.
Pickpocket
- Removed Desperado.
- Crime Wave: reduced cap from 6 -> 5.
Restoration
- Added Bitter Wine.
- Reworked Necropotence as Grail of Tears. (You can get the old Necropotence using the console.)

Pickpocket
- Crime Wave: is now capped at 6 targets in a row before the cooldown on Thief's Eye starts.
Restoration

- Right Behind You: prerequisites are now correct.
Two-Handed
- Renamed Steel of the Ancients -> Voice of Rage and Ruin. (There were complaints that the perk was immersion breaking...)

- Alteration
-
Version 7.07

Changed False Light to be similar to the one in the Apocalypse Compatibility Patch (this is easier than getting people to update their version of the patch).

- They Shall Know: reduced False Light bonus from +20% -> +15%.

One-Handed
Fully fleshed out dagger branch!

Version 7.01
- #BugfixesThatMatter
Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dqmzyt9tZw
Alteration
- Throne of Nirn: now correctly gives bonus spell effectiveness only when standing on the pillar and not when standing still at any point in combat.
- Wild Shrines: no longer gives you the reward if you fail to use a shrine due to being in combat.
Conjuration
- Atromancy: no longer erroneously increases the duration of all spells at night. (!)
Destruction
- Stormblast: description no longer lies to the player.
Enchanting
- Added Time Stands Still to the perk tree.
Note on Ceremonial Enchanter: while there is some demand to bring back this perk as an official choice in the perk tree, it remains console-only for now because there is no such thing as an "optional" bonus to crafted enchantment strength. If you are an enchanter, you want every last enchantment strength perk, so this perk (and its RP implications) would become mandatory. Moreover, increasing the maximum amount of enchantment strength in mid-flight would upset quite a few people who used their Miracle to make the best item ever...
Lockpicking
- Dragon's Teeth: increased Turn Undead effect magnitude from 50 -> 65.
- #BugfixesThatMatter

Version 7.00
- Steelfeathers' perk mod, Path of Sorcery came out recently. And what do you know, its magic perk trees are better than Ordinator's. So I tore them down and rebuilt them from the ground up. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tb3j0Tf318
Misc
- Fixed incorrect perk count after using perk reset.
Alchemy
- Chemical Rage: increased attack damage bonus from 5% -> 10% but no longer stacks.
- Crimson Bull: increased speed bonus from 5% -> 10% but no longer stacks.
Alteration
- Added Distorted Shape.
- Added Energy Shield.
- Added Wild Shrines.

Archery

- Mocking Blow: fixed minor typo in description.
- Skull Rattler: now actually grants 3% more damage instead of 2%.
Conjuration
- Added Unleash Hell.
What this does is give each of your daedra an autocast spell on a ~30 second cooldown. They start with it off cooldown and will use it shortly after entering combat (or being summoned into combat), but don't use it again until 30 seconds have passed. Of course, you can just resummon them, which is the whole point: when do you resummon them, when do you keep fighting?
> Flame Atronachs get Enemies Explode, which deals 150 fire damage in an 8 foot area around their combat target.
> Frost Atronachs get Fragility, which curses their combat target for 6 seconds, reducing armor by 125 and magic resistance by 25% (this stacks).
> Storm Atronachs get Magnetic Anomaly, which knocks down a target (you may want to stagger your atronachs to chain their knockdowns).
> Dremora get Dremorage, which grants 75% extra attack damage and 75% movement speed for 8 seconds.
- Atromancy: changed duration bonus from 2%/Conjuration -> x3 (x5 at night).
- Barrow Lord: now also reduces attack damage to skeletons by 25%.

- Conjure Altar: reduced level requirement from 70 -> 60.
- Dark Whispers: no longer works on corpses.
- Fire Ritual: spell damage bonus increased from 10% (actually 15%) -> 30%; Health bonus increased from 10 -> 100 points; weapon bonus increased from 7.5% -> 15%; corrected description.

- Reap and Sow: increased duration bonus from 50/150% -> 75/200%.

Destruction
A complete overhaul of the Destruction tree. Most perks were moved around or replaced. The goal is to hit a few community targets (spell scaling, etc), offer more cool stuff earlier in the tree, and reduce reliance on the notoriously bugged dual cast conditions.

- Electroconvulsions: changed trigger condition to <1/3 Health; no longer triggers during killmoves.

- Hypothermia: changed trigger condition to <1/3 Health; no longer triggers during killmoves; no longer fails to paralyze altogether if the target doesn't have zero Stamina to begin with; no longer paralyzes targets with 0 maximum Stamina; reduced duration from 8 -> 5 seconds.
- Iced Earth: now only triggers when dual casting; increased radius of frost hazard from 3.5 -> 4 feet; reduced dps from 30 -> 20 but increased duration from 3 -> 4 seconds; updated description to include duration.
- Nova Charge: no longer counts up when you cast any spell and down every 5 seconds, but now counts up when you dual cast in combat, does not count down until combat ends, and goes off at 8 charges.
- Pyromancer Ascension: no longer counts up when you cast any spell and down every 5 seconds, but now counts up when you dual cast in combat, does not count down until combat ends, and goes off at 8 charges; removed mana cost reduction, but now leaves a trail of burning ground similar to the removed Wake of Destruction.

Enchanting
Time Stands Still is a perk that is not available in the actual tree, but can be given to the player using the console (ID **058F81). It causes the clock to stop for X minutes every day at the time when you learn this perk. Use if you prefer more night or more daylight or are an Azura worshipper and want twilight etc.
Ceremonial Enchanter is a perk that is not available in the actual tree, but can be given to the player using the console (ID **058F80). It improves enchanting by 10%, but you can ONLY enchant between midnight and 1AM and then only if you are wearing robes and no armor. This is similar to the old Ceremonial Enchanter perk and the Enchanter's Ritual perk in Path of Sorcery. There has been lots of praise for the Path of Sorcery perk (in stark contrast to the rivers of QQ the Ordinator version received until it was removed in 2.00), and the reason this perk is not available in the perk tree is because being forced into RPing to make the best possible items is not necessarily fun.
- Added Might and Magic.
- Added War Mage.
- Mystic Warrior: you now store a spell by using the included power instead of by dual casting out of combat; changed prerequisite from Soul Siphon -> Soul Squeezer; fixed issue where the extra Stamina cost is not applied if 60 seconds pass since the last Mystic Strike; the Stamina cost is now based on your current Magicka; no longer throws errors if you don't put a spell in it and power attack; changed message.
- Staff Flux: increased attack damage bonus from 35% -> 50%.
- Wizard's Staff: removed dual cast Destruction perk interaction (because there are no dual cast Destruction perks in this version).
Heavy Armor
- Sovereign: reduced duration from 2 -> 1 seconds; fixed priority to prevent collision with other perks.
Illusion
"I never lost a fair fight. I never fought one either." From a roleplay perspective, instead of learning how to win fights, you learn how to make the enemies not bother fighting. The tree is rather binary (somewhat mitigated due to Fickle Fate) and this is probably how it should be.
- Added Panic.
- Added Wraithwalker.
- Removed Mind Killer. (In preparation for the inevitable Urgot rework.)
- Renamed Fear the Reaper -> The Reaper Comes.
- The following "Activate" perks now have a cooldown that is measured in real world seconds instead of game days, displayed in the form of a debuff in your effects list, and is much shorter:
Nemesis (3 hours -> 300 seconds)
Fear the Reaper (6 hours -> 300 seconds)
Lamb to the Slaughter (3 hours -> 180 seconds)
Blind Guardian (3 hours -> 300 seconds)
Heavy Weighs the Tapestry (3 hours -> 180 seconds)
- These spells no longer cause a race condition when applied to the same target, and now correctly handle the "one target only" case if you have a way to reset the cooldown before the effect finishes.
- Heavy Weighs the Tapestry: increased Magicka/Stamina drain from 100 -> 500 points.
- Illusion Mastery: now also adds (0.5/1%) duration per Illusion skill level.
- Imposing Presence: increased radius from 20 -> 40 feet (not retroactive).
- Kindred Mage: changed bonus from 20% -> 0.15*Illusion, and racial bonus from 60% -> 0.35*Illusion; now only works for mind affecting spells, but no longer restricted to humanoids (it never worked correctly on creatures).
- Lamb to the Slaughter: armor reduction now works.
- Lord of Illusions: increased radius from 20 -> 40 feet (not retroactive).
- Nemesis: no longer causes the target to flee (meaning it will no longer override mind affecting effects on the target either); the ghost can now be attacked.
Light Armor
- Renamed Ternion Assault -> Breaking Waves (lore reference was too specific).
- Prevented NPCs from receiving Hissing Dragon from ASIS.
One-Handed
- Attack of Opportunity: now correctly has a level requirement of 40.
- Claw Marks: reduced damage from 2/4/6 -> 1/2/3, but increased duration from 20 -> 30 seconds; now correctly a hostile attack; now also reduces weapon damage by 1/2/3 points (this may cause them to switch to fists if weapon damage is reduced below 4).
- Snakebite: added sound effect.
Pickpocket
- Death's Emperor: fixed description.
- Pickpocket Mastery: now +20/40% like every other perk instead of +25/50%.
Restoration
Strength of Druids is a perk that is not available in the actual tree, but can be given to the player using the console (ID **014913). When you are in combat and below max Magicka, it drains 50 points of Stamina per second to replenish 20 points of Magicka per second. It does not activate below 25% Stamina, but can drain below 25% Stamina if it is already active. A similar perk exists in Path of Sorcery and there is some demand for it, but it does not lead to fun gameplay in practice, so it was not included as an official perk.
- Added Crusader's Fire.
- Added Paragon.
- Added Revelation.
- "Added" Strength of Druids.
- Removed Divine Champion.
- Removed Purity of Body. (Alteration has perks to increase your resistances.)
- Prevented NPCs from receiving the deprecated perk Ex Nihilo from ASIS.
- Enduring Ideal: reduced bonus to Wheel of Life from 150% -> 50% (lol).
- Restoration Mastery: now also adds (0.25/0.5%) magnitude per Restoration skill level.
- Spirit Tutors: reduced power of tutor buff from 1% per 10 points of Magicka -> 1% per 12.5 points of Magicka to compensate for Restoration Mastery.
Sneak
- Backstab: added critical strike bonus if the target is at full Health.
- Demolition Mission: removed bonus damage to runes and moved it to Ancient Seals. (The Destruction tree is where Path of Sorcery put this effect, and several comments claimed that Ordinator does not have an equivalent effect, presumably because its location in the sneak tree makes it undiscoverable.)
- Infiltrator: no longer erroneously requires Mystery Killer.
Speech
- Speak with Animals: tamed animals now teleport to you if distance exceeds 100 feet and they are not in combat; additionally, a sporadic (15 seconds) check has been added that teleports them if they get stuck more than 150 feet away or behind a door or transition an animal cannot navigate ("Your Wild Companion found its way to you").
- Added missing perk Lord of the Dance that only existed in the perk list but not in the game (clearly the perk wasn't very important).
Two-Handed
- Massacre: now increases attack speed instead of setting attack speed, preventing the attack speed bonus from becoming permanent if the EffectFinish event can't run due to a stack dump; updated description. (It will now make an educated guess as to whether or not you are using an attack speed fix: if attack speed is 0, it will increase it by 300%, otherwise 200%.)
- Steelfeathers' perk mod, Path of Sorcery came out recently. And what do you know, its magic perk trees are better than Ordinator's. So I tore them down and rebuilt them from the ground up. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tb3j0Tf318
-
Version 6.00
- Massive bugfix for one-handed weapons, overhaul of all combat trees and stealth. Critical strike is now a valid stat, due to the addition of a +2%/level multiplier on the second level of each tree's Mastery. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5yd1LNALg (this guy needs more attention)
Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: can now be disassembled within 1.5 seconds after sneaking (but now you have to remain in sneak mode for 0-1 seconds first) to fix a race condition where slow script execution may result in the sneak state being removed before it is actually checked; updated description.
Alteration
- Added Throne of Nirn.
- Removed Mana Shield. (You can give yourself a copy with the console.)
- Geomancer, Philosopher's Stone, Stability: changed prerequisite to Alteration Mastery.

Archery
- Archery Mastery; second level now also increases crit damage by 2% per level of Archery.

Heavy Armor
- Break Upon Me: updated to reflect functionality changes of other perks.
Illusion
- Added Unto The Masses.
- Removed Incubus. (You can give yourself a copy with the console.)
- Renamed Whispers of Doom -> Quiet Casting and changed prerequisite to Illusion Mastery.
- Fear the Reaper: changed prerequisite to Psychic Vampire.
- Heavy Weighs the Tapestry: changed level requirement from 80 -> 90.
- Lamb to the Slaughter: changed level requirement from 90 -> 80.
Light Armor
- Lightning Strike: now correctly multiplies critical strike damage instead of chance (which made it almost entirely useless); reduced multiplier from x2 -> x1.5.
One-Handed
A major overhaul to most weapon types.
- Changed the priorities of many Combat Hit Spells. Duplicate priorities would prevent one of them from working EVEN when the other one doesn't activate because its conditions are not met. This led to several perks not working if you took another perk on the same row (now you know why Toll The Bell failed for some people). A full list of priorities is in the Readme.

- Added And Stay Down.
- Added Bleed Like a Lamb.

- Reworked Onslaught -> Overwhelm: changed from 50% -> 100% crit chance but reduced duration from 5 -> 2 seconds and power from x2/4 -> x1.5/3 (due to One-Handed Mastery buff); now only works if unblocked; no longer dispelled on the first power attack; updated description.
- Reworked Smite: changed from crit damage vs undead -> large crit on your first power attack with a mace against a target, improved vs undead.
- Apex Predator: now only works on living targets.
- Cross Cut: reduced duration from 5 -> 4 seconds; reduced damage bonus from 50% -> 40%; removed annoying shader.
- Go for the Throat: now also deals a critical strike with a multiplier equal to double the power attack damage bonus.
- Mangle: improved damage bonus from 15/30% -> 20/40%. (Note: getting Mangle off with a regular axe is a matter of precise timing, but dual wield makes it easy.)
- One-Handed Mastery; second level now also increases crit damage by 2% per level of One-Handed.
- Shieldbiter: improved crit multiplier from x3 -> x5.
- Thousand Cuts: reduced threshold from 15 -> 10 cuts; changed description to reflect its disconnect from Tiring Assault.
Restoration
- Mage Ward: no longer requires "dual" casting; description is now correct.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: can now be disassembled within 1.5 seconds after sneaking (but now you have to remain in sneak mode for 0-1 seconds first) to fix a race condition where slow script execution may result in the sneak state being removed before it is actually checked; updated description.
Sneak
- fCombatDetectionLostTimeLimit: 120 -> 45 (vanilla 10)
- fCombatStealthPointRegenAttackedWaitTime: 300 -> 25 (vanilla 15)
- fDetectionStateExpireTime: 180 -> 90 (vanilla 30)
- fDetectionUpdateTimeMaxComplex: 2 -> 3.5 (vanilla 5)
- fDetectionUpdateTimeMinComplex: 1 -> 1.5 (vanilla 2.5)
- fSneakLightMult: 0,55 -> 0.4 (vanilla 0.33)
- fSneakSkillMult: 0,25 -> 0,4 (vanilla 0.5)
- Changed layout of perk tree to offer more guidance.
- Added Escape Artist.
- Added Mystery Killer.
- Behind Enemy Lines: no longer also drains a target's SneakPowerMod by 15%; no longer erroneously causes a sound event.
- Cloak and Dagger: now also increases crit damage.
- Disengage: improved description.
- Infiltrator: changed from 50% noise reduction (+50% when not running) -> 75%.
- Leaping Shadow: no longer available to NPCs.
- Shadow Warrior: fixed description.
Two-Handed
A major overhaul to most weapon types.
- Changed the priorities of many Combat Hit Spells. Duplicate priorities would prevent one of them from working EVEN when the other one doesn't activate because its conditions are not met. This led to several perks not working if you took another perk on the same row. A full list of priorities is in the Readme.
- Cleaned up many NPC perks.
- Added Bleed Like a Dog.
- Added Clash of Heroes.
- Added Deadfall.
- Added Enter the Arena.
- Added Overthrow.
- Added Ram's Head.
- Removed Exhausting Assault.
- Removed Falling Star.
- Removed Gnarly Wounds.
- Removed Hemorrhage.

- Renamed Razor Wind -> Decimate.

- Bear Hide: removed prerequisite link from Massacre.
- Execute: reduced crit damage multiplier from x30 -> x20 (still freaking good).
- Grand Slam: reduced crit damage multiplier from 4% -> 2% to account for Two-Handed Mastery; no longer erroneously reduces crit damage at low Stamina.
- Maul: updated description.
- Rive: removed useless conditions.
- Steel of the Ancients: now correctly excluded by ASIS.
- The Pendulum: no longer erroneously applies a 75% bonus to not just the second hit but also the initial hit and any other power attacks for its duration (NO ONE NOTICED WTF); added critical strike; increased knockdown force.
- Two-Handed Mastery; second level now also increases crit damage by 2% per level of Two-Handed.
Note about Overthrow/Ram's Head/Deadfall: these perks are a little more picky than the usual "while attacking" condition. They only work if you bash the target during the wind-up of their attack and not if they already hit you and are finishing their swing. I intend to use this a lot in Swordfall to reward timing instead of random flailing.
- Massive bugfix for one-handed weapons, overhaul of all combat trees and stealth. Critical strike is now a valid stat, due to the addition of a +2%/level multiplier on the second level of each tree's Mastery. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5yd1LNALg (this guy needs more attention)

- Conjuration
-
Version 5.24
- Conjuration
- Soul Raider: now also increases the duration of bound weapon perks after trapping enough souls.
Enchanting
- Added Channeler.
- Removed Staff Expertise. (It accidentally used an SKSE function. Lol.)
Heavy Armor
- Lead the Tempest: now works again on created Skeletons; increased bonus from 20 ->25% of your armor for humanoids, but reduced radius from 40 -> 20; added buff description. (The problem with the perk that prompted the initial nerf was that it made heavy armor objectively superior to robes for summoners and druids, to the point where you had to be an idiot to use robes. This buff should make death knights viable again and synergise with Dark Whispers, without making heavy armor mandatory for other minion builds.)
Illusion
- Heavy Weighs the Tapestry: halved experience gain based on damage inflicted and capped this at 500 damage.
- Lamb to the Slaughter: halved experience gain based on damage inflicted and capped this at 500 damage.

Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: regenerated the script in an attempt to update the saved copy for people with older saves.

- Chymical Wedding: reduced chance from 50% to 40%.
- Witchmaster: reduced chance from 50% to 40%; added side effects Brigand, Double Critical Chance, Double Sneak, Fortify Critical Damage, Fortify Scrolls, Free Enchantments, Ouroboros, Quad Bash, Stagger Immunity; fixed a typo in the description of Quad Magic; fixed description of Fortify Attack Damage; reduced the duration of Infinite Health, Infinite Magicka and Infinite Stamina from 20 -> 15 seconds; reduced the duration of Physical Immunity from 20 -> 10 seconds; reduced the duration of Quad Damage and Quad Magic from 30 -> 15 seconds.
(The new side effects and reduced chance do not retroactively affect characters that already picked at least Stimulants.)
Alteration
- Nullifier: reduced range from 15 -> 10 feet.
Destruction
- Force of Nature: changed 10% effectiveness boost -> 1 point per 10 Destruction levels (people wanted spell scaling and were too blind to notice Robes of Power); fixed description to clarify that this also affects non-spell effects.
Enchanting
- Last Word: level 2 now also grants a chance to create a large number of copies of each scroll you use.
Heavy Armor
- Lead the Tempest: now only affects humanoids. (It is meant for lord commander type builds with followers, not for necromancers...)
Illusion
- Incubus: increased duration from 2 -> 6 real time hours.
Pickpocket
- On the Run: fixed movement bonus being erroneously far too high.
Restoration
- Gods and Mortals: Arkay dps reduced from 500 (undead)/1000 (summoner) -> 200 (both).
Sneak
- Sneak Mastery: added note about how to increase sneak effectiveness...

- Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYaQ4PZTN9c
-
Version 5.20
- Heavy Armor
- Added Never Kneel.
- Unlinked Matching Heavy Set. (Your level 2 point is converted into the new perk.)
- Heavy Armor Fit: increased armor bonus from 15% -> 25% to compensate for the loss of Matching Heavy Set.
Light Armor
- Added One Step Ahead.
- Unlinked Matching Light Set. (Your level 2 point is converted into the new perk.)
- Light Armor Fit: increased armor bonus from 15% -> 25% to compensate for the loss of Matching Light Set.
- Ternion Assault: reduced Stamina scaling from 50% -> 40%.
Lockpicking
- Bear Traps: distance in front increased from 28 -> 34.

Sneak
- Behind Enemy Lines: no longer displays an ability in your effects list.
- Heavy Armor
-
Version 5.16
- Customary music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2yJzMgaUAk
Alteration

- Reverie: now works correctly with Lover's Comfort.
Conjuration
- Rend From This World: now uses vanilla soul trap mechanics, allowing Acquisitive Soul Gems to affect it.
Destruction
- Unlinked Ancient Seals. (Redundant with Demolition Mission.)
Enchanting
- Wonderseeker: changed description.
Illusion
- Added Ghost of the Tenth Eye.
- Removed Mortal Fear.
- Renamed Quiet Casting to Whispers of Doom. (Modified vanilla perks should have a different name than the corresponding vanilla perk, so when another mod changes the same perk and causes a conflict, players are aware of it before they run into it 20 hours later when trying to acquire the perk.)
- Crown of the False King: updated description.
- Mind Killer: corrected description.
- Pandemonium: corrected description.
- Protect Your God: ability is now disabled during brawls.
- Psychic Vampire: corrected description.
Sneak
- fCombatSearchExteriorRadiusMin: 1280 -> 1536
- fCombatSearchExteriorRadiusMax: 2048 -> 2560
- fCombatSearchInteriorRadiusMin: 768 -> 1024
- fCombatSearchInteriorRadiusMax: 1280 -> 1536
- fCombatSearchWanderDistance: 512 -> 768
- Added Right Behind You.
- Renamed Quiet Before the Storm to Infiltrator. (Overly dramatic name for a simple effect.)
- Behind Enemy Lines: Disengage is no longer an optional requirement, but Right Behind You is.
- Demolition Mission: now makes an exception for runes, boosting them x3 -> x5.
- Smoke Curtain: changed requirement from level 50 -> 60.
- Spot Detection: changed requirement from Silent Roll -> Sneak Mastery.
For fun, here are a few perks that didn't make it into the mod, but still have some resources lying around:
- (Alchemy) Peryite's Perfume: the ability to craft thrown grenades; cancelled due to overlap with alchemy mods.
- (Alteration) Bioluminescence: glow in the dark, much like Arkenlight from Dwemertech; cancelled because annoying.
- (Alteration) College Life: gradually gain permanent Alteration bonuses for being in Winterhold College, and when going afk in Winterhold College, your character would autonomously do research and study; cancelled because permanent stacking bonuses make people nervous.
- (Alteration) Transmute Clutter: when picking up clutter objects, offered a second option to turn them into their corresponding gold value; cancelled because constant popups are annoying.
- (Alteration) Winterhold Express: casting specific spells on the Winterhold College grounds launched you into the air, where you could either teleport to a target location or just flew to a chosen city; cancelled after I fell through the Windhelm bridge because it didn't load fast enough in front of me.
- (Archery) Blanket Shot: shooting an arrow also fires a cone of damage in front of you; cancelled because the cone did 0 damage.
- (Archery) Strafe (called Snipe for no reason): pulling and holding an arrow would rapidly shoot a stream of ghost arrows until you fired the arrow; cancelled because the arrows were shot at 0 pull strength, so I had to replace them all with custom arrows that fly straight, leading to compatibility issues with third party bow mods.
- (Destruction) Signature Spell: increased the power and mana cost of any chosen spell to master level.
- (Heavy armor) Swagger: take half damage while staggered.
- (Illusion) Dream Disguise: yes, I considered this, no, I didn't do it for reasons stated elsewhere.
- (Illusion) Precipice of Madness: applying multiple mind affecting spells in a row would cause the AI to perform random actions; cancelled because there aren't enough things for the AI to do.
- (Illusion) The Reaper Comes: a deadly ghost would hunt you down and try to kill you, but also attack your enemies; cancelled because waiting would teleport the ghost to you and instantly kill you.
- (Pickpocket) The Tail: periodically summons assassins that track you down, but drop nice loot; cancelled because constant attacks while waiting was annoyung.
- (Pickpocket) Trouble Magnet: would split up enemy camps by having one enemy from each camp actively seek you out and attack you; cancelled because you could just sit and repeatedly wait and draw them out one by one.
- (Smithing) Daughter of the Forge: the idea was that newly forged weapons would be stronger for 1 hour after forging them; cancelled because the game had no way to accomplish this.
- (Sneak) Rappel: the ability to pull yourself up on a rope to become undetectable but immobile; cancelled because no good animation.
- (Sneak) The Box: when sneaking and not moving, turned you into an inconspicuous crate; cancelled because no way to turn player invisible but not an attached art object.
- (Speech) Power Word Kill: the ability to kill NPCs through the dialogue system; cancelled because adding dialogue options led to tons of complaints when it was Nord Kinship in Excellent.

-
Version 5.10
- I will be mostly unavailable for the next several weeks. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgSCNS851Rg
Alteration
- Added Mana Shield.
- Removed Sitting Duck.
- Renamed Robes of Deflection to Geomancer.
- Geomancer: now gives a static 20% damage reduction instead of scaling with Magicka, keeping it viable for Vancian Magic builds.
- Spellblade: corrected description.
- The Monarch: increased Magicka loss from 5 -> 10 points per second, but now correctly drains 25 points per second from each target as intended instead of 15 points.
Archery
I just the whole archery tree AGAIN.
- Changed tree layout.
- Added Pinning Shot.
- Added Snipe.
- Added Three Crows. (Trade? Nope! Face? Yup!)
- Unlinked Hunter's Mark.
- Removed Deadeye. (Too sensitive to script lag. Also actually triggered every five shots instead of every four shots and no one noticed.)
- Removed Power Shot.
- Changed Arrow to the Knee and its offspring.
--- No longer has a range condition on the perk, because this doesn't work correctly.
--- The Arrow to the Knee spell and magiceffects have been renamed and their EDID changed to reflect that they now combine ALL on-hit perks instead of just the short ranged ones.
--- All of the on-hit perks now apply the same spell; this allows them to be taken out of order (in third party mod merge patches, etc).
Conjuration
- Conjure Altar: now looks slightly better when seen through a wall.
- Hollow Binding: increased magic resistance drain from 10% -> 15%; fixed description to reflect the actual duration of 5 seconds instead of incorrectly 8 seconds.
- Reap and Sow: now specifies that only your own skeletons are fully reclaimed.
- Rend from This World: damage vs daedra increased from 20 -> 100.
- Void Burn: increased damage from 10 -> 15 per second; improved description; changed burn debuff name to prevent them from stacking in your magic effects list.
Destruction
- Unlinked Counter Blast.
- Battlemage: now also applies if you have a shield out. (I give up trying to get people to use wards.)
- Electroconvulsions: no longer attempts to push actors during a killmove.
- Frostfall: changed attack damage reduction from 5% stacking for 10 seconds -> 20% non-stacking for 8 seconds.
- Static Field: now has 20% -> 15% chance to trigger on each tick of a concentration spell.
Heavy Armor
- Added Break Upon Me.
- Removed Menace.
- Renamed Leviathan to Unbreakable. (Also affects descriptions of Revel in Battle and Iron Maiden.
- Iron Maiden: reduced level requirement from 70 -> 60.
- Rise Above: is now a standalone perk instead of an upgrade to Menace; improved description; reduced radius from 30 -> 15 feet but now affects enemies in any direction instead of just in front of you; no longer works on targets whose damage is already reduced by over 90%; now dispels its own buff so it doesn't stack.
- Primal Fear: is now a standalone perk instead of an upgrade to Menace; improved description.
- Reap the Whirlwind: increased retaliation damage bonus from 100% -> 125%; this perk is now the carrier of Reap the Whirlwind and Sovereign effects, instead of Menace.
- Sovereign: changed perk priority; no longer available to NPCs through ASIS. (It was both fairly useless and added some script lag when given to 20 enemies at once.)
One-Handed
- Toll the Bell: reduced bonus damage per point of Stamina drained from 2% -> 1%.
Restoration
- Added False Light.
- Added Inquisitor. (This is based on Bitter Chalice which was unlinked ages ago, so if you never respecced, you have it now.)
- Removed The Unquenchable Torch. (Redundant with Enduring Ideal.)
- Renamed Bastion to Bastion Ward.
- Renamed Eidolon to Divine Champion. (I thought Eidolon meant something other than what it actually means.)
- Afterglow: increased burn damage vs undead from 10/20 -> 15/30 per second.
- Enduring Ideal: increased level requirement from 80 -> 90.
- Overflowing Cup: now correctly states that it responds to healing spells "and effects".
- Rapture: adjusted description.
- Zealot's Ward: increased timed ward duration from 1 -> 2 seconds; description now admits that it is "almost" instantly at full strength.
False Light makes all of your healing spells cast directly on enemies deal damage instead. Yes, this is affected by Edgewalker. Yes, this means clerics now have an anti-living nuke at 40 Restoration. Yes, this works with the Heal enchantment in Wintermyst. Yes, this works with Infinite Light in Apocalypse. YES, this works with Channel Energies in Apocalypse to deliver self cast healing spells to enemies to damage them.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: picking grindstone or workbench now prevents you from upgrading the other, even after disassembling it (your choice is reset when you respec).
Two-Handed
- Maul: corrected magiceffect name.
- Stand and Fight: no longer reduces damage below 0; duration is now correct; no longer stacks, but reduces damage by 20% -> 25%.
- I will be mostly unavailable for the next several weeks. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgSCNS851Rg
-
Version 5.07

- That Which Does Not Kill You: now correctly ends after 60 seconds.

- Alchemy
-
Version 5.05
- Appropriate video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcx0KLN4zW8
Alchemy/Enchanting/Smithing
- Advanced Lab/Advanced Workshop/Arcane Nexus: perks that upgrade one crafting table now cost 2500 gold to perform the upgrade but can be disassembled for free, allowing you to upgrade another crafting table; popup warning improved.
Destruction
- Hypothermia: no longer triggers a force push during a killmove.
- Iced Earth: now properly deals bonus damage only to targets affected by the hazard, not all targets. (THREE MONTHS UNTIL SOMEONE NOTICED THAT THEIR SPELLS DID 50% MORE DAMAGE. Thanks Andrew2200 for having actual eyes in your skull.)
Lockpicking
- Dungeoneer: dungeon must now be indoors to prevent wasting the ability.
- Robber's Eye: no longer marks locked containers with "Requires Key".
Two-Handed
- Renamed Throw to the Wolves to Maul (thanks Katiekat).
- Appropriate video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcx0KLN4zW8
-
Version 5.04
- Lockpicking
- Robber's Eye: fixed effect being immediately dispelled.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: now correctly throws a message when the debuff is removed or the actor enters a building.

One-Handed

- The Pendulum: now adds 50% bonus damage in addition to the knockdown effect.

Version 5.01
- By popular demand. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLgM1QJ3S_I
Block
- Added Quick Reflexes back in.
Conjuration
- Dead Tide: changed description. (People regularly complain that the perk descriptions are too "precise" and therefore not immersive. This is an example of why this is so.¨If you give people the slighest opportunity to misunderstand them, they will, and complain that the mod is broken.)
Illusion
- Enchanted Hour is now ACTUALLY unlinked. (I am starting to have some doubts about Mator's Perk UI tools.)
- By popular demand. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLgM1QJ3S_I
-
Version 5.00
- At long last: necromancy, as well as some much neater perk trees and some easier sneaking. I wanted to make a clever joke, but I'm too tired. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8CBzDocDdg
Misc
- Cleaned up many skill trees.
- Changed the EDID of many unused/unlinked perks for consistency: DEP now means no longer used, NPC means other actors automatically get them (and MAX means level 100).
Alteration
- Intuitive Magic: now also affects Vampiric Drain and Arniel's Convection.
- Reverie: increased Well Rested cost reduction from 10% -> 15%.
Archery
- Changed all of the prerequisites again.
- Unlinked As the Wind and disabled its effect. (You may want to respec to get your point back.)
- Deadeye: now also deals a critical strike. (Which does not do a lot of damage, but crits are more fun than just bonus damage.)
- Hunter's Mark: now requires level 50 -> 60.
Block
- Unlinked Quick Reflexes. (Bugged.)
Conjuration
- Skeleton construction!
--- Added Bone Collector.
--- Added Dead Tide (2).
--- Added Barrow Lord.
--- Added Reap and Sow.
--- Added Skeleton Mages (2).
--- Added Fire Ritual.
--- Added Conjure Altar.
--- Added Sympathetic Magic.

- Unlinked Hidden Pockets. (See below for a replacement.)
- Dragon Hoard: effect no longer disabled when you have beast blood.
- Lawless World: now actually works; no longer increases bounty instead of decreasing it; now displays a message when bounty is reduced to 0 and pays it off so you don't get arrested for a 0 gold bounty; increased bounty reduction from 25% to 50% of Pickpocket level. (Because the first two issues made it clear that no one used the perk.)
- Pickpocket Mastery: now grants 50/100 points of carry weight in addition to increasing pickpocket chance.
- Thief's Eye: now displays a message and ends the hunt if the target escapes into a building or across a cell transition; duration increased from 4 -> 5 minutes.
Restoration
- Descending Light: no longer triggers during brawls, while invisible or while ethereal.
- Exorcist: now also improves magic effectiveness in addition to weapon damage.
- Spirit Tutors: the spirits now patrol between random points on the road (WETravel) instead of random Xmarkers, reducing the chance that there is no path between both points and they get stuck. (You may need to remove and re-add the perk.)
Sneak
- Reduced a few movement noise factors. This should make a marked difference in how easily enemies detect movement. Note that armor weight is still an important factor and can be reduced by the weight reduction perks in the armor perk trees.
--- fSneakEquippedWeightBase: 16 -> 13 (vanilla 12).
--- fSneakRunningMult: 2.5 -> 2.25 (vanilla 2).
- Quiet Before the Storm: no longer just silences your movement when walking, but also halves movement noise when running.

- At long last: necromancy, as well as some much neater perk trees and some easier sneaking. I wanted to make a clever joke, but I'm too tired. Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8CBzDocDdg

Version 4.22
- There was a bug that caused you to be unable to fast travel due to "taking health damage" if you had Gods and Mortals even if you weren't actually taking health damage. Unfortunately, instead of telling me what perks they had, people chose to just (threaten to) revert or tell me to "fix my fucking mod" or that the update is "complete shit".
Also, the Russians claimed that swords are useless because they don't do cobalt salted nuclear torpedo levels of damage. Now they do. On the bright side, the change from stamina drain to slowed stamina regeneration was long overdue. Here's a topical music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaP1wDvkA6E
Oh, and I skipped two version numbers because I didn't want the homo erectus crowd to make weed jokes.
One-Handed
- Tiring Assault: No longer drains 1/2/3 Stamina per second but reduces Stamina regeneration by 6/8/10%.
Restoration
- Removed self damage from Gods and Mortals Blessing of Arkay, preventing it from blocking fast travel even when inactive.
Two-Handed
- King Takes Pawn: Improved from 20/40% -> 25/50% and added 20% chance of a critical hit for x2/x3 damage.
- Exhausting Assault: No longer drains 2/3/4 Stamina per second but reduces Stamina regeneration by 8/10/12%.
- Flee Fool: Now causes targets to trip randomly while moving; damage bonus increased from 50% -> 60%; damage bonus no longer applies exclusively to non-power attacks.
- Reverted the Forged in Blood buff to ensure it will fade cleanly for users upgrading to the latest version.
- There was a bug that caused you to be unable to fast travel due to "taking health damage" if you had Gods and Mortals even if you weren't actually taking health damage. Unfortunately, instead of telling me what perks they had, people chose to just (threaten to) revert or tell me to "fix my fucking mod" or that the update is "complete shit".
-
Version 4.19
- Gods and Mortals took long enough to implement. Here's a relevant music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcKUGVa_K04
Alteration
- Unlinked Magic Resistance. (Redundant with Alter Self: Resistances.)
- Philosopher's Stone: now requires Mage Armor as a prerequisite instead of Stability.
- Reverie: now requires Alteration Mastery as a prerequisite instead of Magic Resistance.
- Vancian Magic: now works regardless of whether the player has beast blood.
Future plans include Stone Virus, which places a buff on you at the start of combat. When struck by any attack, the buff transfers to the attacker. This can occur multiple times until the buff detonates 15 seconds after the start of combat, turning everyone else on the battlefield to stone.
Archery
- Rearranged the perk tree to open up more freedom. Note that many prerequisites have changed.
Enchanting
- Mystic Warrior: no longer erroneously restarts the cooldown when you perform any attack.
Heavy Armor
- Immortal: added threshold increase from 10% to 15% while standing near a Rallying Standard; nadded Warbringer as an optional prerequisite.
Restoration
- Added Gods and Mortals.
- Removed Euphoria.
- Removed Draw and Quarter. (I tried something. It didn't work out.)
- Spirit Tutors: reduced from level 40 -> 30.
Here are the bonuses you may get from Gods and Mortals:
--- Akatosh: Turn the Hourglass (twice a day, slows time when you get low on Health)
--- Arkay: Requiem (burns and destroys reanimated undead and their owners)
--- Dibella: Thrall of Passion (illusion is stronger and lasts forever vs the opposite sex)
--- Julianos: Keeper of Teachings (nearby allies gain bonus Magicka and Magicka regen)
--- Kynareth: Howling Wind (bonus Stamina regen for each nearby enemy)
--- Mara: Perfect Bond (spells cast on your spouse are much more effective)
--- Stendarr: Crusader's Shield (blocking absorbs Stamina and staggers the attacker)
--- Talos: The Talos Principle (chance to finish shout cooldown when enemy humanoids die nearby)
--- Zenithar: Spirit of Commerce (may trade with anyone)
Speech
- Serenade: now correctly appears on the perk tree.
Two-Handed
- Added Slayer of a Thousand Sons.
- Removed Forged in Blood.
- Death or Glory: no longer has a hard cutoff at 25% Health, but now gradually increases power attack damage below half Health.
- Gods and Mortals took long enough to implement. Here's a relevant music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcKUGVa_K04

Version 4.18
- Fallout can wait until the GECK, because who would ever want to play a Bethesda game without mods? Music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGC4EGj3Xa4
Archery
- Added Trick Arrows. (ARCANE ARCHERY HALLELUJAH.)
- Removed Weapon Juggler.
- As the Wind: added Power Shot as an optional prerequisite.
- Hailstorm: added As The Wind as an optional prerequisite.
- Thread the Needle: added Clean Kill as an optional prerequisite.
Destruction
- Battlemage: added Robes of Power as an optional prerequisite.
- Counter Blast: now requires Destruction Dual Casting as a prerequisite.
- Elemental Specialisation: added Battlemage as an optional prerequisite.
Pickpocket
- Blood Gold: improved description.
- Death's Emperor: improved description.
- Slum Rat: improved description.
- Thief's Eye: no longer targets children.
Coming in future updates: Pot of Gold, Trouble Magnet.
Restoration
- Added Spirit Tutors.
- Removed Luminescence.
Smithing
- Sandstone Sheath: reduced damage bonus from 50% -> 25%.
Sneak
- fSneakEquippedWeightBase changed from 20 -> 16 (vanilla 12)
- fSneakLightMoveMult changed from 0.05 -> 0.03 (vanilla 0.01)
- fSneakLightMult changed from 0.66 -> 0.55 (vanilla 0.33)
Coming in future updates: Caltrops.

Version 4.16
- One day before The End. Perhaps there is still time...
While Ordinator was mostly balanced, it was possible to collect enough stacking buffs to create a monster. This has been fixed and some new toys were added.
Note to users of mods that combine Ordinator with another overhaul: you may need to wait for an update for those mods. (Other note: I cannot guarantee that any perks work correctly when using one of those.)
Archery
- As the Wind: reduced duration from 20 -> 10 seconds.
- Hailstorm: reduced attack speed bonus from 10% -> 8%.
Some players have requested an "Arcane Archery" perk similar to PerMa. The problem with this perk is that it doesn't really shoot spells from your bow, it shoots spells in the direction of the crosshairs, which may or may not land anywhere near the arrow both in space and time. If you want to shoot all sorts of awesome effects from your bow, I recommend Wintermyst - Enchantments of Skyrim. It is a great mod and its creator is an awesome dude. For the combat version, see Mystic Warrior below.

- Apocalypse Proof: reduced elemental block at level 1 from 60% -> 50%.
- Deliverance: reduced damage bonus from 25% -> 20%.
- Poke the Dragon: reduced damage bonus from 30% -> 25%.
- Timed Block: reduced block bonus from 50% -> 40%.
Enchanting
- Added Mystic Warrior. (SPELLS ON POWER ATTACKS. HALLELUJAH.)
World Enchantments (effects that affect everyone) are still cooking, but I need to find some that are actually fair AND interesting instead of just two-edged stat buffs. A few ideas: {+25% to all attack damage, Magicka does not regenerate in combat, Stagger equals knockdown}
Heavy Armor
- Added Battle Weary.
- Added Rallying Standard.
- Added Warbringer.
- Removed Defiance.
- Removed Hard as Steel.
- Rallying Standard is now an optional prerequisite for Heavy Armor Set.
- Face of Death: in addition to removing the helmet requirement, it also grants 20% armor to non-helmet items if you are not wearing a helmet.
- Matching Heavy Set: reduced armor multiplier from 25% -> 20%.
- Menace: increased cone of effect from 90 -> 120 degrees in front of you.
- Out of the Inferno: changed elemental damage reduction from 15% -> 0.02% per armor point (750 armor -> 15%).
- Primal Fear: increased fear duration from 5 -> 8 seconds.
- Reap the Whirlwind: reduced damage bonus to attacker from 150 -> 100%.
- Revel in Battle: reduced melee damage bonus from 5% -> 3% per stack. (This was ridiculous.)
- Rise Above: reduced attack damage bonus from 10% -> 8% per target. (This was ridiculous.)
Note about perks that require "all heavy armor": they don't actually check if your body, gloves, boots and helmet are heavy armor, they check if those slots are armored and you are not wearing any light armor. This is because it is not possible to check through conditions what keywords an item in a specific equip slot has. The consequences are that you can't wear light armor cloaks, Face of Death doesn't allow you to equip light armor helmets, etc.
Matching Set perks use a different mechanic and counts the number of items with a specific material keyword. While it may technically be possible to extrapolate this to "all heavy armors" by counting the number of heavy armor items, this could lead to issues with third party armors composed of a large number of individually equippable pieces, potentially allowing you to have both light and heavy armor bonuses at the same time. This is not an issue for Matching Set itself because it only increases the armor rating of those pieces, but it is an issue for just about everything else.
Robes, circlets and hoods are not armor, so you CAN equip something that is keyworded as heavy body armor (say, the pauldrons of a multipiece heavy armor set) and a robe underneath. You can also wear a hood or circlet with Face of Death.
Illusion
Some people have requested a "force surrender" perk. I thought about it, but there seem to be issues with the idea: if you don't get rewarded for forcing surrender, it is strictly worse than just killing the guy. If you do get rewarded, just cash in your reward and kill him anyway. If you get a penalty for dishonourable kills, have a minion kill him, or force an ally to surrender so whoever kills said ally in combat gets a debuff. If the penalty goes straight to you no matter who kills him, this means you might be walking around and get a dishonourable kill because someone you spared 2 weeks ago fed himself to a bear. If there's a time limit, wait it out [T] and kill him anyway. You can't make him protected without making the entire actorbase protected. (Or put him into a quest alias, but this only works for one actor at a time.) And you can't make him invulnerable (SetGhost) instead because you may lock yourself out of important quests and allies may still attack and get both of you stuck in combat.
Light Armor
- As a Leaf: now prevents stagger above 75% stamina -> while sprinting
- Into the Maelstrom: reduced damage resist from 15% -> 10%.
- Keen Senses: in addition to removing the helmet requirement, it also grants 20% armor to non-helmet items if you are not wearing a helmet.
- Matching Light Set: reduced armor multiplier from 25% -> 20%.
- Windrunner: reduced speed bonus from 15% -> 10%.
Two-Handed

- Steel of the Ancients: increased chance to trigger from 5 -> 6%.
- One day before The End. Perhaps there is still time...
-
Version 4.11
- This is an incredibly useful update.
Destruction
- Force of Nature: the extra magnitude bug is now a feature, but reduced from 25% -> 10%.
Heavy Armor
- Matching Heavy Armor Set renamed to Matching Heavy Set so the description doesn't get cut off.
Light Armor
- Matching Light Armor Set renamed to Matching Light Set so the description doesn't get cut off.
Two-Handed

- Wardancer: standardised description.
- Aaaargh.
-
Version 4.09
- Just a quick bugfix patch. Obligatory weird music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMwO1qTkrK0
Heavy Armor
- Born to Fight: now correctly MULTIPLIES armor weight by 0.5 instead of SETTING armor weight to 0.5.
Restoration
- Unlinked Necrology.
Sneak
One side effect of the increased focus on movement, sound and diminished importance of light level (due to ENBs casting their own shadows that are not taken into account) was that remaining undetected while sitting still in broad daylight was actually easier than in vanilla. These changes fix this.
- fSneakBaseValue: -20 -> -17.5 (vanilla: -15).
- fSneakEquippedWeightBase: 15 -> 20
- fSneakLightMult: 0.55 -> 0.66 (vanilla 0.33, Sneak Tools: 1.00, Path of Shadows: 0.90).
- fSneakExteriorDistanceMult: 1.55 -> 1.85 (vanilla: 2.1, Path of Shadows: 1.0).
- fSneakMaxDistance: 2500 -> 2750 (vanilla: 2500).
- fSneakSoundsMult: 0.9 -> 1.1 (vanilla: 1.0).
- fDetectionSneakLightMod: 5 to 10 (vanilla 15).
Give it a try and see what you think! :)
- Dynamic Entry: now also grants unarmed damage.
Two-Handed
- Wolfkin: now has the same size as a regular wolf instead of 5% smaller.
A future patch will include arrow crafting (a feature I find to be redundant with enchanted bows, but people want it) and perhaps a way to bypass crafting furniture upgrades.
- Just a quick bugfix patch. Obligatory weird music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMwO1qTkrK0

Version 4.08
- Good mods are updated often. Better mods are updated more often. Right? Unfortunately, the Nexus only allows one upload at a time, preventing me from reaching the elusive "best" status.
Alchemy
- Walking Disaster: no longer triggers while invisible or Ethereal.
Light Armor
- Wardancer: no longer triggers while invisible or Ethereal.
Restoration
- Warrior's Flame: no longer triggers while invisible or Ethereal. (May require Descending Light ability to be removed and reapplied.)
- Wheel of Life: no longer triggers while invisible or Ethereal.
- Good mods are updated often. Better mods are updated more often. Right? Unfortunately, the Nexus only allows one upload at a time, preventing me from reaching the elusive "best" status.

Version 4.07

- Hailstorm: reduced duration from 15 -> 10 seconds.
Illusion
- Fickle Fate: increased level bonus from 1-30 -> 1-40.
- Kindred Mage: increased magnitude bonus on targets of the same race from 50% -> 60%.
- Sometimes a lot of people complain about the same things. Sometimes they have a point. Sometimes.
-
Version 4.06
- -sigh-
Destruction
- Dual cast perks will now trigger only against hostile targets if delivered by a concentration spell, preventing cloak spells from applying them to friendly targets. This does mean that dual cast perks will never trigger on the first tick of a concentration spell cast at a target that isn't hostile yet. Note that cloaks will carry dual cast perks even if the cloak isn't dual cast, as long as you are dual casting.
One-Handed
- Tiring Assault: level 2 now correctly casts the level 2 version when not using Onslaught.
- -sigh-
-
Version 4.05
- Development pause starts now. Patch frequency will decrease to a reasonable amount from now on. What is there to improve to perfection?
Alteration
- Cleaned up the tree.
- The Monarch: fixed description to reflect that it steals 20 points of Magicka, not 15.
Marksman
- Cleaned up the tree.
One-Handed
- Massive Attack: fixed description.
- Aftershock: now also sets attack speed to 150%, now correctly gives double damage instead of triple damage.
Sneak
- Shadow Warrior: no longer activates while Shadowcloak of Nocturnal is active (because this is a more powerful effect).
Two-Handed
- Added Wolfkin.
- Grindhouse: reduced level requirement from 80 to 70.
- Staggering Impact: reduced level requirement from 70 to 60.
- Tidal Rhythm has not been added, however you can use the console to add the perk record "Tidal Rhythm" and it will work correctly.
- Development pause starts now. Patch frequency will decrease to a reasonable amount from now on. What is there to improve to perfection?
-
Version 4.03
- Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: now correctly increases potion effectiveness by 25% instead of 20%.
- Walking Disaster: improved puddle spawn rate from 6-8 seconds -> 4-8 seconds.
Heavy Armor
- Heavy Armor Mastery now grants experience for being in combat and wearing at least 2 pieces of Heavy Armor.
- Leviathan now grants experience whenever you get attacked.
Light Armor
- Light Armor Mastery now grants experience for being in combat and wearing at least 2 pieces of Light Armor.
You can configure armor experience gain by modifying ORD_Any_ArmorXP_Global and ORD_Any_ArmorXPLevel_Global.
After this patch I'm taking a minor break to work on real life and other stuff. Alchemy perk additions have been cancelled because CACO exists now, making the entire Alchemy tree pointless until someone comes up with a patch that merges both, at which point no further Alchemy tree changes can occur anyway.
When I get back, Two-Handed will get Wolfkin, which summons Spirit Wolves when you perform 3 consecutive power attacks. One-Handed will get Tidal Rhythm, which gives you infinite Stamina and double damage for 5 seconds, zero Stamina and half damage for 5 seconds, repeat. There will be no outright copy of PerMa's Spellbinder, but something similar to Steel of the Ancients but in spammable form for spells will be added (it may be called Spellbinder though, because this is one of those perks people specifically look for, much like sneak attack damage).
I'm actually starting to doubt the need for those announced perks to allow any workbench to count as Advanced (Field Alchemy, Nexus Network, Hit It Harder). Smithing is repeatable, so you can just upgrade your items at any workbench and again at your Advanced workbench Enchanting only gets its Advanced perk at level 80 instead of 30. And while Alchemy is something you may actually want to do on the move, the benefits of an Advanced lab are limited.

Version 4.01
- Culled some uncool perks. They have been unlinked: you keep the perks if you have them, and you can respec out of them, but you can't pick them anymore, so less skill tree bloat. Also, there was an EPIC bug in 4.00...
Block
- Poke the Dragon: added 10% critical strike, improved description.
One-Handed

-
Version 4.00
- The highlight of this update is the reworked melee combat trees. You do NOT need to respec or start a new save. However, if your character makes extensive use of the One-Handed or Two-Handed trees, you may want to take a look at the new trees and what your perks actually do before blithely continuing your playthrough.
Some people have complained about the (3) perks at the start of each weapon tree. The intention is not to "make you waste 3 points on a boring perk" but to allow players to specialise in that perk and make it stronger than a level 30 perk would usually be, because they are not percentage based and thus do not scale. They are not percentage based because they spawn on a very large number of enemies and doing so would cause them to scale with enemy health/stamina/armor, making it impossible to outlevel or outbuild them.
I was going to add perks that allowed any crafting station to function as an upgraded one as long as you had an upgraded one somewhere: Wherever I May Roam (alchemy), Nexus Network (enchanting), Hit It Harder (smithing). Technical reasons intervened, as well as the consideration that in the case of smithing you wouldn't get just convenience but straight up power.
Alchemy
- Poisoner: now correctly increases poison effectivness BY 1% per Alchemy level instead of reducing it TO 1% per Alchemy level. (Oops.)
Alteration
- Aurification: there was no actual bug with this perk but the CK seems to break Activate perks for no good reason if anything about them is modified without recompiling them, so that's what I did; added to description that it doesn't work on essential actors.
- Nullifier: debuff now has a proper description.
- Sitting Duck: no longer increases the duration of paralyse effects against paralysed targets.
Block
- Apocalypse Proof: blocking an elemental effect now prevents the Timed Block cooldown from kicking in, updated description.
- Break Their Teeth: updated description.
- Deliverance: updated description.
- Dragon Tail: updated description.

Conjuration
- Mystic Binding: fixed error in description.
Heavy Armor
- Iron Maiden: increased damage return from 10% -> 15% per stack, improved description.
Illusion
- Commanding Presence: now correctly affects undead, daedra and automatons when Master of the Mind has been picked, reduced cloak hit rate from 0.175 seconds -> 0.333 seconds to reduce condition load, now grants a slow trickle of Illusion XP for each affected target. #SorryForPartyBuffing
- Master of the Mind: updated description to indicate that it also affects Rally and Commanding Presence.
Light Armor

Lockpicking

- Renamed Ruthless -> Furious Strength.
- Renamed Tons of Hurt -> Toll the Bell.

- Furious Strength: power attack damage bonus changed from 25% -> 20% and 0.15% per point of Stamina, changed prerequisite from Disciplined Fighter -> One-Handed Mastery.
- Iron Law: now also halves the Stamina cost of your power attack.

- Smite: increased level 2 crit multiplier from 2 -> 3. (Note: if you are a vampire or otherwise undead, this DOES work against you when an NPC gets this perk.)
- Warrior Epic: reduced critical strike chance from 25% -> 15%, but now also increases critical strike damage by 0.5% per point of Stamina (the old Thunderstruck effect), added Massive Attack as optional prerequisite.
Pickpocket
- Thief's Eye: increased duration from 180 -> 240 seconds, clarified that it only marks targets "on the streets" and thus ends when they leave the streets.
- Mutiny: improved reliability; it will still not interrupt idles or scenes.
Sneak
- Resisted temptation to change the effect names of all trick roll perks into Never Gonna Give You Up.
Two-Handed
- Cleaned up skill tree.
- ASIS now excludes power attack perks (because some of them mess up the game when an NPC gets them).
- Added Grindhouse.
- Added Into the Dust.
- Added King Takes Pawn.
- Added Steel of the Ancients.
- Removed Momentum. (It turned out that the perk gave you Stamina whenever anyone attacked anyone with a greatsword.)

- Renamed Merciless -> Ferocious Strength.
- Renamed Overpower -> Exhausting Assault to make it more obvious why it is draining Stamina.
- Bear Hide: updated description, added Grindhouse as optional prerequisite.

- Execute: updated description.
- Ferocious Strength: power attack damage bonus changed from 25% -> 20% and 0.15% per point of Stamina.
- Grand Slam: reduced critical damage multiplier from 4% -> 3% per point of Stamina.
- Hemorrhage: updated description.
- Momentum: updated description.
- Ramming Speed: updated description.
- Rise and Fall: updated description.
- Staggering Impact: changed prerequisite from Death or Glory -> Ferocious Strength.
- The Pendulum: increased push force from 8 -> 9.
- The highlight of this update is the reworked melee combat trees. You do NOT need to respec or start a new save. However, if your character makes extensive use of the One-Handed or Two-Handed trees, you may want to take a look at the new trees and what your perks actually do before blithely continuing your playthrough.

Version 3.12
- HELP HELP IM STUCK IN AN ENDLESS VORTEX OF SMALLER AND SMALLER PATCHES AND ITS DRAGGING ME IN
Alchemy
- World Serpent: no longer produces useless messages.
Enchanting
- Wonderseeker is no longer a prerequisite for Twin Enchantment (this could allow you to get Arcane Nexus without Gem Dust, which doesn't work).
- HELP HELP IM STUCK IN AN ENDLESS VORTEX OF SMALLER AND SMALLER PATCHES AND ITS DRAGGING ME IN
-
Version 3.11
- Now requires at least a 286 PC with 1 MB of RAM. May not run correctly on systems with the DR-DOS operating system. Internet Explorer 2.0 available separately.
Archery
- Hunter's Mark: increased mark chance from 15% -> 20% and armor pierce from 700 -> 800 points, prerequisite is now Arrow to the Knee instead of Power Shot.
Destruction
- Electroconvulsions: reduced threshold from 50% to 33% of your current Magicka.
Sneak
- Backstab: level 1 now works correctly, instead of being added to level 2.
Speech
- Speak with Animals: no longer works on horses.
- Now requires at least a 286 PC with 1 MB of RAM. May not run correctly on systems with the DR-DOS operating system. Internet Explorer 2.0 available separately.

Version 3.10
- Remember when I said a few hours later there would be no updates for a while until a significant bug was found?
The fact that no one noticed this massive bug matches my observations of various LPers using Ordinator: people might pick a perk mod for many reasons but they don't actually care about the majority of the perks and they just beeline for the perks that give the most immediate results.
Case in point, people complain about the archery sneak attack perk while ignoring the archery tree itself, or about destruction scaling while ignoring the various special effects that multiply damage. Are those people stupid? No, of course not, they want "more sneak attack damage" so they look for a perk that adds "more sneak attack damage" and have no interest in trawling the trees for other ways to increase their sneak attack damage, especially unusual and untested ways like Dynamic Entry, which just get tuned out altogether because they are not what the player expects to find in the tree.
Perhaps most people don't actually need a full featured perk overhaul. They just want the starter perk in each tree, a few basic perks like sneak attack damage and spell scaling, and not much else. There is much more to the game than just perks, and perhaps perks are actually getting in the way of the game. There might be a market for a mod that removes the entire perk tree and just improves skill scaling with skill level.
Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: fixed bug that caused small alchemy labs to not be recognised as an upgraded lab after the first time (this is why Double Toil and Trouble quit working).
Conjuration
- Dark Whispers: now correctly grants +5% damage instead of +500%.
Restoration
- Zealot's Ward: now counts for Tenth Barrier regardless of the strength of the parent ward.
- Remember when I said a few hours later there would be no updates for a while until a significant bug was found?
-
Version 3.08
- No more updates for a while unless a significant issue is found. Have fun with this version.
All trees
- The starter perk in most combat trees has been changed from +25/50% -> +20/40%. This change compensates for stronger perks down the line compared to vanilla which frontloads most of the power of each perk tree into the +20/40/60/80/100% starter perk. The following trees are affected:
--- Archery
--- Heavy Armor
--- Light Armor
--- One-Handed
--- Sneak
--- Two-Handed
The -35/50% casting cost starter perks in mage trees have not been nerfed because the base cost of many Skyrim spells is very high and includes the assumption that there is a perk that halves casting costs, so nerfing this perk would only encourage players to avoid standard mage builds and instead look for ways to avoid paying the casting cost altogether (-100% casting cost enchantments, Vancian Magic, Ocato's Recital and other autocast effects, etc).
Alchemy
- Poisoner: changed from +50% -> +1% per Alchemy level.
Archery
- Deadeye: standardised description.
Destruction
- Conflagration: reduced burn duration from 4 -> 3 seconds.
- Cold Cathode: reduced damage bonus from +40% -> +25%, increased threshold from <20% -> <25%, if you have Vancian Magic it now (only) activates at 20 or less slots instead of being active all the time.
- Pyromancer Ascension: reduced ascended damage bonus from +150% -> +100% (and fixed buff description saying +200%).
- Runecaster: reduced range bonus from 150 -> 75 feet.
- Thermal Shock: reduced damage bonus from +30% -> +25%.
- World in Flames: reduced environmental fire damage bonus from +50% -> +20% and fire damage bonus to enemies affected by them from +50% -> +40%.
Enchanting
- Enchanting Mastery: increased from +15/30% -> +20/40%.
Illusion
- Enchanted Hour: now correctly increases the duration of illusion spells x3 instead of x2.
One-Handed
- Go for the Throat: reduced bonus damage per Wolfstooth stack from 75% -> 50%.
- Rise Kinsmen: fixed description to clarify the user does not get the bonus.
Restoration
- Burns the Sun: increased damage bonus to affected targets from +75% -> +100%.
Sneak
- Replaced Serpent's Betrayal with Whispering Death.
- Backup Plan: increased duration from 30 -> 60 seocnds.
- Smoke Curtain: now also grants +50% sneak attack damage to targets in the cloud.
Two-Handed
- Death or Glory: standardised description.
- Flee Fool: increased damage bonus to fleeing targets from 40% -> 50%.
- No more updates for a while unless a significant issue is found. Have fun with this version.
-
Version 3.07
- Alteration
- Vancian Magic: now also works on spells that aren't correctly flagged as school spells.
Smithing
- Dwarven Autocannon: increased damage from 15% -> 25% of Smithing skill.
- Alteration
-
Version 3.06
- This is clearly a very important update.
Conjuration
- Renamed Damnation to Corpse Gas.
- Ghost Armor replaced with Dark Whispers: armor +20 -> armor +15 and damage +5%.
- This is clearly a very important update.
-
Version 3.05
- Destruction
- Ancient Seals: reduced damage multiplier from x6 -> x4.
- Iced Earth: frost hazard damage now lingers for 1 -> 3 seconds after leaving the area, and additionally you deal 50% more frost damage to targets affected by this.
Smithing
- Dwarven Autocannon: listed duration is now correct.
- Destruction
-
Version 3.04
- Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: no longer grants the buff semi-permanently when you activate an Advanced Lab and it gets cancelled before you can enter the menu. (You will need to activate an Advanced Lab again to get rid of an existing buff.)
Enchanting
- Gem Dust/Preserver/Arcane Nexus/Miracle: no longer grants the buff semi-permanently when you activate an enchanting table and it gets cancelled before you enter the menu. (You will need to use Gem Dust again to get rid of an existing buff.)
Light Armor
- Wardancer: reduced excessive XP gain.
Smithing
- Advanced Workshop: no longer grants the buff semi-permanently when you activate an Advanced Workshop and it gets cancelled before you can enter the menu. (You will need to activate an Advanced Workshop again to get rid of an existing buff.)
- Dwarven Autocannon: the cannon can now be Activated to scrap it, explosion is much quieter.
- Heart of Creation: no longer erroneously accepts anvils (because anvils have the forge keyword).
Sneak
- I didn't increase the unarmed sneak multiplier. The reason is that archery is 25% and people would inevitably complain if unarmed gets more of a boost than archery (much like altmer having higher stamina regen than nords in Imperious despite context and abilities), especially when many users already think sneak archery is useless because it's only 25% (vanilla 50%, but people seem to think it's 300%...). /rant

Conjuration
- Ravenous Dead: now grants +50% level cap to reanimation spells.
Light Armor
- Iron Fist: "in combat" check improved. (It now checks to see if you're in combat or if you're in combat. Seriously.)
Sneak
- Dynamic Entry: now grants a small amount of Sneak XP. (~1/6 of a melee sneak attack)
- Obligatory music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WNzaYIpwVw

Version 3.02
- Patches like these are better than large overhaul patches, because they indicate there's less stuff to fix.
Conjuration
- Rat King: clarified description about sneaking.
Enchanting
- Gem Dust/Preserver/Arcane Nexus: now activated on objects with keyword WICraftingEnchanting instead of IsEnchanting.
- Patches like these are better than large overhaul patches, because they indicate there's less stuff to fix.
-
Version 3.01
- Random musing: people complain when a tree/build is weaker than vanilla (ahem sneak archery), but people also complain that the mod is overpowered if the trees are stronger than vanilla. Now what?
Smithing
- You can now put 2 points into each smithing unlock perk to get both materials. 1 point still lets you choose between them.
- Random musing: people complain when a tree/build is weaker than vanilla (ahem sneak archery), but people also complain that the mod is overpowered if the trees are stronger than vanilla. Now what?
-
Version 3.00
- This update fixes compatibility issues with the smithing tree. The new tree is pretty much a front end for the vanilla perks, ensuring compatibility with mods that modify those perks. Also, there are now offensive perks in Alchemy and Smithing. Customary song link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOK9q8kqxw
Misc
- Updated ASIS blocklist.
Alchemy
- New perks for offensive alchemy.
--- Added perk: Elemental Oil.
--- Added perk: The Alchemist's Cookbook.
--- Added perk: Walking Disaster.
--- Don't ask for the ability to throw oils like grenades. This causes issues where the oil puddles levitate in mid air if you hit a tree.
- Poisoner: increased bonus from 30% -> 50%.
- Witchmaster: clarified description.
Alteration
- Spellblade: now only activates when you cast a spell with one hand, preventing the buff from interfering with dual cast detection (the game only takes into account the most recently cast spell).
Destruction
- Stormlord: proc now correctly cast from PlayerRef, meaning it works again.
Light Armor
- Tempting Fate: no longer triggers out of combat. (Fixes a race condition.)
Smithing
- Major tree overhaul for compatibility reasons. Any skill points invested into impacted perks will be refunded.
--- Smithing Mastery no longer increases all tempering effectiveness.
--- Unlock perks removed and replaced with *Smithing perks (eg. Meric Smithing) which let you choose between two unlock perks.
--- Unlock perks once again double your tempering effectiveness.
--- Tempering items is now harder: fSmithingArmorMax and fSmithingWeaponMax changed from 10.0 -> 6.5 (but this is compensated by the replacement of the +50% Smithing Mastery perks with the +100% unlock perks).
- New perks for offensive smithing.
--- Added perk: Dwarven Autocannon.
--- Added perk: Electrobolt.
--- Added perk: Remote Control.
--- Added perk: Firing Line.
--- Added perk: Spin Up.
Sneak
- Cleaned up the tree.

--- Problem Solver: no longer requires Backstab as a prerequisite.
--- Quiet Before the Storm: no longer requires Spot Detection as a prerequisite.
- Problem Solver: now works with any weapon or fists.
- Serpent's Betrayal: changed from +50% sneak and +50% weapon damage -> x2 sneak and x2 sneak attack damage, but no longer stacks.
- Sneak Attack: damage bonus with non-1h weapons now works with any weapon or fists.
- This update fixes compatibility issues with the smithing tree. The new tree is pretty much a front end for the vanilla perks, ensuring compatibility with mods that modify those perks. Also, there are now offensive perks in Alchemy and Smithing. Customary song link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMOK9q8kqxw

Version 2.18
- HELP ME I FELL INTO THE ARCHIVER AND NOW I'M TRAPPED IN THE BSA FILE

- HELP ME I FELL INTO THE ARCHIVER AND NOW I'M TRAPPED IN THE BSA FILE

Light Armor
- Tempting Fate: no longer triggers a sound detection event.
Speech
- Encore: no longer results in a duplicate Perform spell after you save and reload (note: this change is not retroactive unless you unlearn and relearn the perk and Performer).

Version 2.16
- In the end, only one bug will remain.
Conjuration
- March of Oblivion: now grants the correct number of minions.
- In the end, only one bug will remain.
-
Version 2.15
- Today's musical wallpaper during game content creation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjfiiR6oaNs
Alchemy
- Advanced Lab: fixed Z fighting in Large Advanced Lab model.
Alteration
- Energy Roil: fixed description.
Destruction
- Electroconvulsions: no longer launches the target with massive force if you open the menu, no longer applies if the target is dying and potentially cause the victim to get stuck in a standing pose while dead. (Sorry, Frankenstein.)
Enchanting
- Charge Tap: swapped left and right hand.
Speech
- Windborn: is now Cast() instead of DoCombatSpellApply().
- Today's musical wallpaper during game content creation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjfiiR6oaNs
-
Version 2.14
- This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
Smithing
- Heart of Creation: object name is now removed when the perk is unlearned, now resets the activation flag when unlearned: ORD_Smh_HeartOfCreation_Global_Type.SetValue(-1).
- This place is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here is dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
-
Version 2.13
- I got called a liar over this on the Workshop.
Speech
- Windborne: no longer triggers if the shout is Become Ethereal, preventing it from immediately interrupting Become Ethereal (because Become Ethereal is bugged and ignores "No Hit Event").
- I got called a liar over this on the Workshop.
-
Version 2.12
- Perhaps I should follow Microsoft's lead and just not document these micropatches.
"2.12: Fixes and improvements".
Ahem.
Alteration
- Alter Self: Attributes: fixed description.
- Vancian Magic: now explicitly affects Arniel's Convection and Summon Unbound Dremora and allows them to be cast regardless of spell slots left, since these spells do not have any "casting perks" associated with them and therefore do not benefit from the normal spell cost reduction.
Block
- Timed Block: no longer has a cooldown if your timed block is successful, sound effect is much more noticeable.
Destruction
- Pyromancer Ascension: reduced damage multiplier from x3 -> x2.5.
Illusion

Speech

- Perhaps I should follow Microsoft's lead and just not document these micropatches.
-
Version 2.11

Smithing
- Iron Lore: no longer removes Smithing Specialization, now works correctly with Archery.
- Smithing Specialization: when the perk is removed, Archery is now correctly removed.
- We have the technology to fix bugs as soon as they pop up, so why not?
-
Version 2.10
- I did remove two single use perks, not due to the whole controversy about those (well, not entirely) but because they led to toxic "hoarding" gameplay. I'm totally fine with the other single use perks and they will stay.
The removed perks have been "unlinked", meaning they still exist in the game (you can learn them with the console) and if you already had them, you keep them. However, to respec out of them, you need the built-in respec feature.
Misc
- Corrected a few keywords.
Alchemy
- Added perk: Chymical Wedding.
- Removed perk: Magnum Opus.
- That Which Does Not Kill You: now also grants 25% alchemy effectiveness when completed. This is not retroactive if you already completed it in a previous version, but you have my permission to type "player.modav AlchemyPowerMod 25" into the console.
- Witchmaster: added side effects Double Alchemy, Double Healing, Double Sneak Attacks, Fortify Carry Weight, Quad Damage, Quad Magic, Unlimited Shouts and In Me The Witchmaster. Chance is now correctly 50% instead of 35%, but can no longer trigger itself. You may need to remove and add Stimulants using the console.
- World Serpent: now correctly illuminates as available when you have either prerequisite instead of both.
Block
- Quick Reflexes: is now silent.
One-handed
- Tireless Fighter is now Disciplined Fighter: cost reduction changed from 40% below half Stamina -> 15 points.
Restoration
- Descending Light: changed from 10% -> 0.5*restoration per second and continues while casting.
Smithing
- Added perk: Sandstone Sheath.

- Smithing Specialization: corrected description.
Sneak
- Removed perk: Serpent's Scales.
- Backup Plan: now requires 80 sneak -> 70 sneak.
- Serpent's Betrayal: changed damage bonus from 1%*sneak -> 50%, but also adds 50% sneak effectiveness, improved graphics, added Behind Enemy Lines as optional prerequisite.
Two-handed
- Trained Fighter is now Disciplined Fighter: cost reduction changed from 40% above half Stamina -> 20 points.
- I did remove two single use perks, not due to the whole controversy about those (well, not entirely) but because they led to toxic "hoarding" gameplay. I'm totally fine with the other single use perks and they will stay.
-
Version 2.07
- This may be the last update in a while unless major bugs show up. The Workshop is bugging out and preventing me from updating the mod, so until/unless this gets resolved, any further updates would desync both versions. I guess that'll teach me to fix issues the moment they pop up.
Alteration
- Arcane Thesis: your chosen spell is no longer forgotten when you reload a save.
Conjuration
- Feed the Monster: improved bonus from 100 -> 200 points.
Speech
- Windborne: no longer triggers a hit event on self.
- This may be the last update in a while unless major bugs show up. The Workshop is bugging out and preventing me from updating the mod, so until/unless this gets resolved, any further updates would desync both versions. I guess that'll teach me to fix issues the moment they pop up.
-
Version 2.06
- Alchemy
- That Which Does Not Kill You...: changed functionality to prevent it from coming back each time you reload the game.
- Stimulants: improved effect from 1% -> 2% per second.
- Witchmaster: increased chance from 10% -> 50%. (And they say I only nerf stuff.)
Conjuration
- Rat King: now disabled during brawl events.
Restoration
- Enduring Ideal: now correctly reduces the timer of Wheel of Life instead of increasing it.
- Alchemy
-
Version 2.05
- This update contains little new content but a large number of fixes.
Alchemy
- Alkahest: increased armor pierce from 20% -> 40%.
- Poisoner: increased poison potency from 25% -> 30%.
- Green Thumb: clarified perk description.
- Magnum Opus: poisons are now four times stronger instead of twice as strong.
Alteration
- Spellblade: no longer triggers when you use a power.
- Vancian Magic: now correctly subtracts a slot only when you manually cast the spell (as opposed to various auto-cast methods).
Conjuration
- XP multiplier increased from 2.1 -> 3.15.
- Daedra's Due: no longer erroneously allows you to give a Heart to non-atronachs for no benefit, no longer erroneously stacks with itself.
- March of Oblivion: now capped at 6 -> 4 minions.
Destruction
- Fixed a race condition that caused dual cast effects to fail with instant spells or in an environment with high script latency.
- Dual cast frost perks (Frostfall, Preserved in Ice, Hypothermia) and shock perks (Static Field, Electroconvulsions, Arc Burn) now work correctly with Battlemage and Wizard's Staff.
- Dual cast detection script is slightly faster.
- Counter Blast: no longer works against massive targets.
- Frostfall: no longer drains excessive amounts of attack damage.
- Hypothermia: now works as described (it used to trigger on targets with 0% or less Frost Resist instead of targets with 0% Stamina).
- Iced Earth: no longer counts as a hostile attack against friendly targets.
- Pyromancer Ascension: script is slightly faster.
Enchanting
- Wonderseeker: clarified perk description.
Illusion
- Quiet Casting: no longer applies to shouts. (Duh.)
Light Armor
- You now gain XP for unarmed attacks as soon as you have Iron Fist, not just Rushing Tide. XP gained is 5 points +0.1 points per base level of Light Armor (5-25 points). On existing characters that have Iron Fist but not Rushing Tide, you may have to remove and add Iron Fist using the console.
- Rushing Tide: fixed issue where the trigger frame was permanently delayed to the end of your swing after a race switch.
- Hissing Dragon: increased poison damage of Emerald Dragon from 5 -> 6 points per second, increased disease damage of Amethyst Dragon from 2 -> 3 points per second.
Lockpicking
- Removed perk: Rise to the Challenge (not due to QQ about single use perks, but because it contained an exploitable loophole in that opening a lock WITH THE KEY also counted. Oops).
- Gone in Fifteen Seconds: script is slightly faster.
- Hotwire: now correctly requires 80 lockpicking instead of 30.
Pickpocket
There have been some complaints that pickpocketing is too easy and almost every item has a 99% success rate. This update fixes the excessively low sensitivity to item value, but most items will still be 99%.
This is nothing new. In vanilla, taking the pickpocketing perks tends to peg your chance to pickpocket most generic items at 90%. The difference is that no one takes the vanilla pickpocketing perks. The formula is (40 + player_skill - target_skill/2 + player_hidden?25 - item_weight*6 - item_value*0.125 + player_perks)%. Notice how effective the perks are.
In short, most aspects of pickpocketing are nerfed in Ordinator: target skill, item weight and item value significantly reduce your success rate. The big win is that the cap is 99% instead of 90%, so you can actually afford to steal every pegged item you find instead of having a 50/50 chance of getting busted emptying a beggar's pockets no matter how good you are.
- fPickPocketAmountMult: -0,05 -> -0,125. (Pickpocket chance is more sensitive to gold value.)
- Dragon Hoard: script is slightly faster.
- Hidden Pockets: no longer affected by Restoration skill.
- Slum Rat: no longer erroneously stacks with itself, cleaned up script.
- Stalk the Prey: reduced bonus from 100% -> 50%.
- Thief's Eye: increased duration from 120 -> 180 seconds.
Smithing
- Heart of Creation overhauled. The old incarnation (giving perk points and permanently lowering Health) had little to do with smithing. It now grants a permanent +1 Health, Magicka or Stamina per 2000 gold worth of items you create.
Sneak
- Added perk: Cheese Roll (performing a silent roll increases your bow sneak attack damage by 500% for 5 seconds). Just kidding; learn to play.
Two-Handed
- Flee Fool: increased bonus damage to feared targets from 35% -> 40%.
- This update contains little new content but a large number of fixes.
-
Version 2.03

- Lead the Target: removed damage bonus to walking targets, reduced damage bonus to running targets from 20% -> 15%, NPC version now has the correct stats.
- Fixed NPC perks to no longer give a massive damage bonus at level 3 based on distance.

- New perk: Revel in Battle.
- Removed perk: Iron Fist. (Your perk point is transferred to the Light Armor tree.)

- Removed perk: Man O'War.
- Ruthless: now grants 25% power attack damage all the time. Fixed bug that caused it to work only on standing power attacks.
Restoration
Note: you may have to remove and re-add Wheel of Life using the console, make legendary or the respec feature if it doesn't work anymore.
- New perk: Enduring Ideal.
- New perk: Zealot's Ward.
- Removed perk: Crusader's Ward. (Your perk point is converted into Enduring Ideal.)
- Removed perk: Bitter Chalice. (You keep the perk if you learned it before.)
- Replaced Ward Absorb with Forbidden Sanctuary. It still enables wards to absorb 25% of incoming spell damage, but this is now increased to 100% when blessed by Warrior's Flame. Instead of Supremacy, you may choose Warrior's Flame as a prerequisite.
- Mage Ward: no longer triggers when you are already casting a ward, is no longer considered a ward for the purpose of other effects.
- Supremacy: changed from 2 levels -> 1 level, its level 1 effect is equivalent to the former level 2 effect. (Your perk point is converted into Zealot's Ward.)
- Wheel of Life: no longer triggers its own "when you cast a healing spell" clause, modified description. Instead of The Unquenchable Torch, you may choose Luminescence as a prerequisite.
Smithing
- Smithing Specialization: bows are now a separate item type instead of being included with two-handed (and not working with Iron Lore).

-
Version 1.09
- It's not a particularly important patch, but we have the technology to upload a new patch for every little thing, so why not do it?

Heavy Armor
- Born to Fight: reduced weight reduction from 100% -> 50%.

Illusion

Version 1.02
- There is actually some meat here now! Hooray for bugs!
Alchemy
- Chemical Rage, Crimson Bull, Stimulants, Witchmaster: now checks separately for the use of healing, magicka and stamina potions that aren't flagged as beneficial alchemy potions. This was requested as a compatibility measure for Morrowloot and Immersive Potions, but it slightly increases script load.
Archery
- Archery Mastery: changed from 50% chance to deal 75/150% more damage to a straight 30/60% more damage.
- Quick Shot: its ability EDID is now vanilla, meaning changes by other mods (usually in the context of fixing the attack speed "bug") will be carried over. (Ordinator does not contain an attack speed bug fix because it has no need to, but any third party attack speed bug fix will now work even when loaded before Ordinator)
Block
- Timed Block: no longer specifies "two-handed" weapon to accomodate users of Dual Wield Parry.
Conjuration
- Conjuration Mastery: first level now works.
Destruction
- Iced Earth: now correctly triggers only off MagicDamageFrost spells.
- The Power is Mine: can now be learned.
Heavy Armor
- Hard as Steel: no longer erroneously grants stagger immunity while sprinting.
Illusion
- Blind Guardian, Heavy Weighs the Tapestry, Lamb to the Slaughter, Nemesis: now states "once per 3 ingame hours" instead of "eight times a day".
- Blind Guardian: No longer incorrectly persists through death. The ghost can no longer be activated by the player.
- Heavy Weighs the Tapestry: No longer castable on dead targets.
- Lamb to the Slaughter: No longer castable on dead targets.
- Nemesis: No longer incorrectly persists through death or combat end. The ghost can no longer be activated by the player.
One-Handed
- One-Handed Mastery: changed from 50% chance to deal 75/150% more damage to a straight 30/60% more damage.
- Ravage: its ability EDID is now vanilla, meaning changes by other mods (usually in the context of fixing the attack speed "bug") will be carried over.
Sneak
- Roll for Initiative renamed to Dynamic Entry.
- Behind Enemy Lines: changed from +10% sneak per enemy to +15% sneak per enemy.
- Sneak Mastery: changed from +15/30% sneak to +20/40% sneak.
- fSneakEquippedWeightMult reduced from 0.6 to 0.55 (was 0.5 in vanilla).
- fSneakLightMoveMult reduced from 0.1 to 0.05 (was 0.01 in vanilla).
- fSneakLightMult reduced from 0.66 to 0.55 (was 0.33 in vanilla).
- fSneakSkillMult increased from 0.15 to 0.25 (was 0.5 in vanilla).
(This should make high Sneak skill levels more impactful, and should reduce the impact of sneaking in bright light.)
Two-Handed
- Two-Handed Mastery: changed from 50% chance to deal 75/150% more damage to a straight 30/60% more damage.
- There is actually some meat here now! Hooray for bugs!

Version 1.01
- Releasing an update for one change is a bit awkward, but so far there is nothing else to fix really!
Smithing
- Carried over update.esm changes to smithing experience (no more excessive experience).
