Introduction
EPT is a simple and lightweight perk overhaul that builds up on the vanilla perk trees and adds a few new perks to enhance character creation and growth.

Why i made this:
Most of the perk mods that i used before were full of gimmicks, useless perks or/and with stupid perk conditions, as well as a multitude of scripts.

Then i came across PerkUP, But it has several problems:
    1. It's buggy and some of the perks doesn't work
    2. TOO MANY perk ranks for everything (e.g. 10 perk ranks for novice locks with increments of FIVE PERCENT PER RANK)
    3. No merged file
    
So i decided to use the idea of adding more ranks to the vanilla perks and also adding a few new ones.




Perk Trees

So here's how this works: Every line consists of the perk name followed by:
r() = the amount of ranks in that perk
s() = the skill levels required for each rank of that perk in order
x/y/z() = the modifiers for each rank

For example: Novice Alteration r(3) s(10/25/50) x(30/60/100) - Cast Novice level Alteration spells for x% less magicka.
What this means:      
   At rank 1 = requires Alteration skill level 10 and grants 30% reduction in novice alteration spell cost.
   At rank 2 = requires Alteration skill level 25 and grants 60% reduction in novice alteration spell cost.
   At rank 3 = requires Alteration skill level 50 and grants 100% reduction in novice alteration spell cost.

Q&A
Question:
"You say that one of the reasons for you to make this mod was that other perk mods were full of scripts. Then why does your mod contains 162 scripts?"
Answer:
135 of those 162 scripts are from the changes in the investor perk. Since it now covers all vanilla merchants, i had to make a script for each of them, and that amounts to 135.

Question:
"But wouldn't that much scripts affect performance in any way?"
Answer:
No. Those investor scripts only fire once when the player has selected the invest option in dialogue. They don't run continuously in the background.
