Alteration
Scaling: Levels in Alteration increase the duration of Alteration spells and effects by up to 40%, and reduce their cost by up to 40%.
Experience: Gain Alteration experience by using Alteration spells effectively.
Alteration spells last slightly longer. There are also perks for robe wearers, battlemages (weapon and spell) and offensive telekinesis use. Other than that, the tree comprises mostly self buffs in vanilla and this remains the case in Vokrii.
0 - Alteration Mastery: Cast Alteration spells for 0.5% less Magicka per level of Alteration.

Archery
Scaling: Levels in Archery improve your damage with ranged weapons by up to 50%.
Experience: Gain Archery experience by inflicting damage with ranged weapons.
Archery gains primarily weakening and disabling effects in order while its average damage output is on par with vanilla. Potential damage is slightly higher than vanilla thanks to more useful critical strikes (the vanilla critical strike perk adds an average of just 3.6 points of damage per shot with a daedric bow) and the option for bonus damage at very long and short ranges. To ensure balance, all ways to increase damage beyond vanilla are situational and player skill based.
0 - Archery Mastery: Ranged weapons do 1% more damage and 5% more critical damage per level of Archery.
20 - Far Shot (2): Ranged weapons do up to 20/40% more damage to targets beyond 60 feet, based on distance.

In total, the tree has been expanded from 9 perks (16 perk points) to 16 perks (21 perk points).
Block
Scaling: Levels in Block improve block scaling from item quality by up to 150%, and increase bashing damage by up to 400%.
Experience: Gain Block experience by blocking damage, and by bashing opponents. Using a shield grants more experience than using a weapon.
Block effectiveness for shields is on par with vanilla, while weapons get a perk to increase their block effectiveness to useful levels and Shield Charge has a cooldown per target so you can't knock down opponents permanently. Compared to vanilla, the tree has similar perks but contains more disabling effects and a torch bash perk.
0 - Block Mastery: Blocking is 0.5% more effective per level of Block.
20 - Deflect Arrows: Arrows do 25% less damage while blocking. Arrows that hit a shield do no damage.

70 - Block Runner: Can move at full speed while blocking.
80 - Mocking Blow: Power bashing reduces attack damage by 20%, fading over 10 seconds.

Scaling: Levels in Conjuration increase the duration of Conjuration spells and effects by up to 40%, reduce their cost by up to 40% and increase the damage of bound weapons by up to 100%.
Experience: Gain Conjuration experience by using Conjuration spells effectively.
Conjuration focusses primarily on making underpowered playstyles more viable, such as reanimation, atronachs (as opposed to Dremora Lords) and bound weapons. Bound weapons now gain damage scaling from skill levels, and a lot of utility including an atronach synergy and a deadly non-elemental burn that scales with Conjuration duration.
0 - Conjuration Mastery: Cast Conjuration spells for 0.5% less Magicka per level of Conjuration.
20 - Conjuration Dual Casting: Dual casting a Conjuration spell overcharges its effects, increasing duration and casting cost.

Destruction
Scaling: Levels in Destruction increase the power of Destruction spells and effects by up to 40%, and reduce their cost by up to 40%.
Experience: Gain Destruction experience by using Destruction spells effectively.
Destruction now gains significant damage scaling with level, balanced out by a slight nerf to the elemental damage perks. The net total is about 30% more damage (13% for multi element spells), making up for the general weakness of vanilla Destruction magic without making them overpowered. A perk exists to reduce elemental resistances, making especially frost mages more capable. Underused spell types such as master spells and wall spells get their own buffs.
0 - Destruction Mastery: Cast Destruction spells for 0.5% less Magicka per level of Destruction.
20 - Destruction Dual Casting: Dual casting a Destruction spell overcharges its effects, increasing power and casting cost.

In total, the tree has been expanded from 14 perks (17 perk points) to 18 perks (24 perk points).
Enchanting
Scaling: Levels in Enchanting allows you to enchant items up to 100% better.
Experience: Gain Enchanting experience by enchanting items, or by wielding a staff in combat.
Enchanting is more balanced. Subpar enchantments (those without a 25% perk in vanilla) and items (clothing) are more effective. Popular enchantments on popular items are on par with vanilla. Chaos Damage is weaker. Enchantment bonuses are available at a lower level so Enchanting is not useless in the early game. Staves are more powerful and level Enchanting. Scrolls are more accessible.
0 - Enchanting Mastery: New enchantments are 1% stronger per level of Enchanting.
20 - Power Stone (3): Staves are 20/35/50% stronger, and an equipped staff improves other weapon enchantments by 20/35/50%.

In total, the tree has been expanded from 9 perks (13 perk points) to 16 perks (20 perk points).
Heavy Armor
Scaling: Levels in Heavy Armor increase the armor rating of Heavy Armor pieces by up to 40%.
Experience: Gain Heavy Armor experience by taking damage while wearing Heavy Armor pieces, or by being in combat while wearing at least 2 Heavy Armor pieces whether or not you get hit.
Heavy armor rating is slightly lower due to a nerf to Matching Heavy Set, but there are several other damage mitigating perks that reduce incoming weapon perks, incoming stagger, or incapacitate opponents that hit you.
0 - Heavy Armor Mastery: Armor rating of Heavy Armor pieces increased by 1% per level of Heavy Armor.
20 - Cushioned (2): You take half/no damage from falling if wearing all Heavy Armor.

Illusion
Scaling: Levels in Illusion increase the duration of Illusion spells and effects by up to 40%. and reduce their cost by up to 40%.
Experience: Gain Illusion experience by using Illusion spells effectively.
Illusion in vanilla Skyrim consists mainly of level cap buffs. These are merged into Animage, creating space for other special effects that are necessary to make an Illusion specialist viable, such as the ability to actually kill the last remaining opponent after Fury without resorting to direct damage. Master of the Mind is available significantly sooner to ensure Illusion mages are not shut out of Dwemer dungeons for most of their lifespan.
0 - Illusion Mastery: Cast Illusion spells for 0.5% less Magicka per level of Illusion.
20 - Illusion Dual Casting: Dual casting an Illusion spell overcharges its effects, increasing power and casting cost.

In total, the tree has been expanded from 13 perks (13 perk points) to 15 perks (18 perk points).
Light Armor
Scaling: Levels in Light Armor increase the armor rating of Light Armor pieces by up to 40%.
Experience: Gain Light Armor experience by taking damage while wearing Light Armor pieces, by being in combat while wearing at least 2 Light Armor pieces whether or not you get hit, or by hitting opponents with fists.
Light armor rating is slightly lower due to a nerf to Matching Light Set, but mobility as well as damage are increased in Light Armor, differentiating Light Armor much more from Heavy Armor. It is now clearly a suboptimal choice for face tank builds, but a superior choice for agile fighters and ranged attackers. Monk characters will also find several powerful unarmed combat perks in this tree, such as damage scaling, cost reduction and crowd control. These perks do not require Light Armor to be worn and unarmed attacks grant Light Armor experience regardless of what armor is worn.
0 - Light Armor Mastery: Armor rating of Light Armor pieces increased by 1% per level of Light Armor.
20 - Agility: Regenerate an additional 2% of your maximum Stamina per second if wearing all Light Armor.

70 - Matching Light Set: Armor rating of Light Armor pieces increased by 15% if wearing a matched set of 3 or more Light Armor pieces.

Lockpicking

Lockpicking still features the familiar vanilla perks, other than the Unbreakable perk which makes all other perks redundant. In addition, there is a new focus on looting, with perks such as Archaeologist that grants a very large boost to dungeon loot to reward investment into this tree. Lockpicking perks can also disable automatons and even control an automaton as a permanent minion.
0 - Lockpicking Mastery: Locks are 1% easier to pick per level of Lockpicking.

One-Handed
Scaling: Levels in One-Handed improve your damage with one-handed weapons by up to 50%.
Experience: Gain One-Handed experience by inflicting damage with one-handed weapons.
One-handed damage output is on par with vanilla, but the power attack perk now scales with Stamina, encouraging Stamina investment and enabling a new high damage, high Stamina, low Health build. The weapon specific perks are much more effective than in vanilla (where two out of three only ever added a few measly points of damage per hit). Several new defensive perks and a dagger branch are added.

Pickpocket
Scaling: Levels in Pickpocket increase pickpocketing odds by up to 100%.
Experience: Gain Pickpocket experience by successfully pickpocketing items.
Pickpocket perks are merged to reduce waste and filler perks. The Pickpocket tree also gains a focus on general crime, with perks such as Lawless Times to get out of nonviolent crime bounties (the bane of a thief) and the ability to steal people's gold without any risk of detection. Reverse pickpocketing is more viable thanks to a cursed coin you can slip in an opponent's pocket to bring doom upon them.

20 - Cutpurse: Odds of pickpocketing gold, keys, gems and jewelry increased by 50%.

Two-handed damage output is on par with vanilla, but the power attack damage perk now scales with Stamina to differentiate high Stamina and high Health builds. The weapon specific perks are much more effective than the vanilla ones (where neither the bleed perk nor the critical strike perk has any meaningful impact) and offer strong but situational incapacitating effects.

Recommended mods
Vokrii is part of a cycle of vanilla-plus gameplay overhauls that combine to form "V++ Enairim", designed to improve existing game systems without drastically changing the game:
My "V++" overhauls can be used interchangeably with my "full size" overhauls, which have more gameplay features but deviate more strongly from the vanilla game. See my profile page for a full list.

Do NPCs use these perks?
For reasons of compatibility with enemy overhauls, NPCs only get the corresponding Vokrii perks to their vanilla perks, and do not get the new Vokrii perks. There is a separate mod: Vokrii Perks for NPCs.
Installation
Installation procedure: If your character is level 2 or higher, installing the mod will start a perk refund process. This can take up to several minutes and a message is displayed when the process is complete. If you are switching from another perk mod, follow the instructions in its mod description to refund your perk points before uninstalling.
Uninstallation procedure: Refund your perk points (see below) before uninstalling.
FAQ
How do I refund my perk points (respec): Make the skill legendary or use the perk refund feature in Apocrypha. Cheat: Bring exactly 1337 gold (no more, no less) to a cooking pot and craft a Scroll of Legends, which can be consumed to instantly refund all perk points.
I meet all of the requirements for a perk but still can't put a point into it: You have another mod loaded below Vokrii that modifies those perks. Load it above Vokrii.
Some perks or skill trees are still vanilla: You have another mod loaded below Vokrii that modifies those perks or skill trees. Load it above Vokrii.
Are critical strikes overpowered: Critical damage in Skyrim does not work the way it does in other games. It is not a multiplier to your total damage, but a value that is roughly equal to half of your weapon's unmodified base damage. For instance, a daedric greatsword deals 12 extra damage on a critical strike regardless of skill, smithing or enchantments. The large critical damage bonuses in Vokrii ensure that critical hits are actually useful.
Why do the mastery perks give a scaling bonus instead of a flat bonus like Ordinator and Adamant: One goal of Vokrii is to stay close to vanilla balancing. Reducing the number of perks while maintaining their overall bonus leads to "stair step" syndrome for weapon perks, where your power level swings massively from one level to the next. A scaling bonus prevents this.
Why do my novice and apprentice level spells cost less than in vanilla: There is a hidden cost reduction for these spells. The reason is that vanilla spell mastery perks give a 50% casting cost reduction to basically all spells you are using at that point, so any perk that does not allow you to cast early game spells for 50% less in the early game would be a major nerf. Because the mastery perks in Vokrii scale with skill level, base casting costs on novice and apprentice spells were reduced so that the math checks out and the spells have casting costs comparable to vanilla at the point in time where you are using them. Note that this is not a "hack" or unique to Vokrii: perk overhaul Adamant encountered the same issue and has a similar hidden cost reduction perk to solve it.
Does this mod change the cost or effectiveness of dual casting: No, but I have several combat overhauls such as Wildcat, Smilodon and Valravn that include this feature.
Most of the one-handed/two-handed perks don't do anything: You have another mod that adds a hidden Combat Hit Spell perk with maximum priority, which will override all of Vokrii's Combat Hit Spell perks, disabling them regardless of load order. This is a design flaw on the part of the other mod. This will affect all perk overhauls, not just Vokrii. Unfortunately, this includes the Bloodlust sword from the Dawnfang/Duskfang Creation Club DLC.
I'm having huge script lag: This mod is very lightweight and does not cause significant script lag. It features no persistent scripts and very few scripted effects in general. However, certain combat overhauls are inefficently designed and will run a heavy script whenever any actor is struck by anything, including harmless or friendly effects, potentially leading to script overload. This is a design flaw on the part of the combat overhaul and you should replace it. If you can't or don't want to do this, avoid perks that affect other actors, such as Inspire and Elemental Conflux.
The perks Ranger, Quick Shot and Block Runner have no effect: These are vanilla Skyrim perks with a peculiar bug where the effect stays after the perk is removed from your character, so taking it again makes no difference. Additionally, Ranger has another bug where it has no effect if you take the perk while sneaking. Note that these are vanilla perks and exhibit the same flaws in the vanilla game. See the UESP page for more information
Fistfights (brawls) immediately end or turn into a real fight: The "Brawl Bug" is a common issue with many gameplay mods and hard to avoid due to the way Skyrim brawls are implemented. Vokrii comes with a copy of the Modern Brawl Bug Fix included to solve this issue. If it does not, you may have the outdated Brawl Bugs Patch loaded after Vokrii (as a standalone mod or included with another mod such as Enhanced Blood Textures). Remove it or add the Modern Brawl Bug Fix to the end of your load order.
