All of the skills(Minus the crafting skills) are handled by a single perk in BE: the 1BSWeaponSkillsPerk so open that(It only managed weapon skills at first, but I eventually put non combat skills in it).
They do not actually range from 0 to 100, but from 0 to 1(in steps of 0.01) because perk entries only allow entry to 2 decimal places and that causes problems. Dividing by 100 circumvents this.
