Perk

Papyrus: Perk Script, Perk Fragments

Perks are abilities received by players as they gain levels and play through the game. Or, instead of receiving a new Perk, the player may add a rank to an existing Perk, thereby increasing its effectiveness (if that Perk had more than one allowable rank). Perk Entries define what happens if the player has the Perk.
