Back to the great W3EE after two years, and not a lot had been done with the skills, especially in the Alchemy and Perk trees, which still held some holdovers from vanilla.

The aim of this mod is to create skills that are more interesting to use, more difficult to choose between, and hopefully more thematic. Over a dozen new skills, with many more tweaked or re-arranged to better fit their skill categories. I also tried to rescale as many "frontloaded" skills as possible, where a certain skill level gave a particular power spike, such as Fleet Footed 1 or Heightened Senses 5.

You may also want to check out my other mod, Redux for W3EE which includes this mod and many more changes.

INSTALLATION
Extract to your Witcher 3\mods folder. If you've done any script merging involving W3EE, you'll want to run Script Merger again. However, you do not need to merge any of this mods files with W3EE. This mod automatically overwrites W3EE. If you need to merge a file that is present in both modSkillsW3EE and modW3EE, just leave out the modW3EE version.

A new game is recommended, but if you want to install this mod with an existing save, I recommend the following steps.

Back up your save
Use a Potion of Clearance
Save
Install this mod
Use another Potion of Clearance
Proceed and hopefully enjoy

COMPATIBILITY/REQUIREMENTS
This mod requires W3EE 5.02. It is not (likely) compatible with Lazarus. This mod should be compatible with most other things W3EE is compatible with, but I honestly don't use many major mods or addons so I'm not entirely certain. If you have a compatibility issue, let me know and I'll investigate.

TRANSLATION
This mod is available only in English, Russian, and Czech. It will have a horribly bugged Character screen with other languages. I'm uploading the base .csv files, if anyone wishes to translate this mod I will happily include it.

STABILITY/FUTURE PLANS
I have tested all changes in a vacuum, but there are probably some things I've overlooked. I'll be working on this mod as I play through the game over the next couple months, please leave any feedback you have regarding bugs, balance concerns, or suggestions.
