Mod updated, version 0.2:
Change perk might and magic: now it decrease target resist by 15%, and work only if in left hand equipped spell or staff.
(It's because this perk also decrease target resist for elemental enchanting on weapon and was too overpowered)
Change perk Earthquake, now it's do 1,5x damage instead of 3x and has 50% chance to knockdown target

Slash or Smash is a complete one and two-handed perks overhaul. I didn't like that in vanilla - figting with 1h sword is almoust same that fighting with war axe or mace. I'm trying to make playstyle more different with each weapon. Now each weapon in 1h have two unique perks and in 2h each weapon have three unique perks. I add few perks for spellsword/duelist/assassin with 1h weapon in right hand and nothing/spell in left hand and two perks for daggers. And in this mod are two types of dualwielding perks - for swords/daggers and for axes/maces. Swords/daggers very fast - but do less damage, axes/maces slow but do huge damage. No more crazy attack speed with mace and dagger/sword.
I also add five masterperks in one handed and three in two-handed at 100 lvl for different classes/playstyles - only one can be selected. 1 for spellsword(or spellaxe/spellmace/spelldagger :)), 2 for tanks, 1 for assassin/bladedancer, 1 for berserk, and 3 for different types of warriors in two-handed.

Bleeding don't work on undeads, ghosts and dwemer robots.
Knockdown don't work on giants and dragons.
Fear works on enemies below 70lvl.
Send to Sithis works on everyone and stack with mehrunes razor.
I didn't add perks with critical hits because it's worked bad in vanilla.
I also don't use ignore armor perks for maces and warhammers, because in my opinion it looks strange when you for example do much more damage to bandit chief in strong heavy armor than to sabercat or frost spider without armor :).
It is an alpha version of mod. All perks should work fine, I test it on clean and modded skyrim, but there may be some small glitches. And I'm not sure about balance, maybe some perks need to be increased/reduced.
I'm not perfect in English, so sorry if some names or description look weird/incorrect.
