SMM's Revamped Sneak Tree

I am no longer modding and as such all these mods are as-is, without a chance for update or bug fixes. RL has taken me off the grid as far as modding goes, I'm sorry to all affected.
__________

There's a million perk tree mods, and this one is mine :D Mostly it was me figuring out how to mod the perk trees, but also (go figure) make the tree more how I would like it.
_______
This is kinda a work in progress. I want to gear this towards what we (as players) want from the sneak tree. As good ideas come up, perks will be adjusted. I wanted two hander's to have a place, and bows to be more deadly, so I changed it. There are now three routes to Shadow Warrior, which now has a side-effect of letting your unarmed sneak attack kill people (or khajits, or mer, or talking non-dragon lizards).
_______
Most changes will be evident from the pictures I post up. But heres a quick rundown:

Stealth
-5 ranks (0,20,40,60,80 like it was)
-sneak modifier is the same per rank (15% +5% per rank after)
-noise reduction, 5% per rank (total of 25%)

Light Foot req 30 Stealth Rank 1
-You won't trigger pressure plates.
-Noise reduction +10%

Silent Role req 50 +Light Foot
-Lets you roll
-Noise reduced by +10%

Muffled Movement req 60 +Light Foot
-Noise reduction +25%

Silence req 70 +Muffled Movement
-Noise Reduction +30%

Backstab req 30 +Stealth Rank 1
-One handed sneak attack does 6x damage

Deadly Aim req 40 +Backstab
-Bow sneak attack does 5x damage

Devastation req 50 +Backstab
-Two Handed sneak attack, 5x damage

Weaponizer req 60 +Devistation AND Deadly Aim
-One handed weapons (not including daggers) do 7.5x sneak attack damage
-Two handed/Bows do 6x sneak attack damage

Assassin's Blade req 50 +Backstab
-Daggers, 15x damage

AssaCaster req 75 +Assassin's Blade (second rank req 90)
-When you wield illusion or restoration magic while sneaking, the spells are more powerful. Rank two increases Illusion/restoration power when a dagger is equipped in the other hand (while sneaking).

Shinobi req 75 +Assasin's Blade (second rank req 90)
-Wielding daggers and sneaking offers armor penetration, second rank increases the bonus when only one dagger is wielded (weld? lol, i know its not, but I almost typed that...)

Shadow Warrior 100 +Assassin's Blade OR Silence OR Weaponizer
-Crouching stops combat and distant foes search for new target (aka you're invisible for a fraction of a second)
-Unarmed sneak attacks are deadly to humanoids (playable races + vampire player races)
_________
Obviously things need a little work, and testing, and there is a big gap from 70 (silence perk) to 100 (shadow warrior). Any ideas, please let me know.
_________
Current Ideas:
- Increased regen rates when sneaking in darkness
- A 'quiet casting' perk, maybe even rework the ACTUAL illusion perk into both trees at once
- A sneak attack for mages (without requiring backstab, maybe?)
- Other ways to make Shadow Warrior more distinguished and rewarding
_________
***This mod is of yet untested, and I cannot garuntee it will work, or work correctly. Remember, using a mod is a choice you make, and a risk you take.
