First of all, this mod is fully compatible with any mods which add perks to Skyrim like Ordinator, so don't ask for it. ;)

Beware: A new patch have been released on this page, this patch will fix the deleting of all your perkpoints when you pass in legendary skill. I recommend you to use it if you want transform a skill to the legendary. It work for Legendary Skyrim and SSE. Thank you to his author rjberg for his work.

Description
This mod offer a new skill named "Spearman" with his tree of perks which own the same name.
At the start of the mod in game, you will obtain a default level based on your race.
You can increased your level when you hit an enemy, kill an enemy or by training you on dummies.
When your skill levelling, your character will win level for his skill, I've built a Xp system for win Level Up and perkpoint naturally in game.
The perkpoint can be spend for a perk on the tree, for that you need to build a campfire and use skill option.

The perks on the spearman are for the two skills of combat: the offensive combat with a spear at two hand and the defensive combat with a spear plus the shield.
So be careful in your choice, you need to select the perk which is associate to your style of fight because it will influence your experience in combat.
Books introduced new stories about warrior using spears, you will win a perkpoint and one Spearman Level when you read it.
I invite you take a look on the "Precision on the mechanic game" to the bottom page, for more information on perks.
