| - | Perks are categorized by which Skill Tree they fall under. In order to select a given Perk, the Skill Tree it belongs to must first be unlocked. This requires the Root Skill from that Skill Tree to be acquired, either by selecting it as one of the two Root Skills granted at Character creation or by spending a Perk.
