Nelriana's Sneak Tree update for Archers Marksman Sneak Attacks Low Res

Hello All,

This is my first mod for Skyrim.
Essentially, what I did was create a few new perks for the sneak tree.

LOW RES VERSION:
USE THIS IF YOU RUN SKYRIM AT A LOWER RESOLUTION THAN 1600*900 AND THE DESCRIPTION IS BEING CUT OFF.
In-Game perk descriptions do not display correctly at lower resolutions, thus they have been simplified them for lower resolutions.
If you run Skyrim at 1600*900 or greater search for the High Res Version of this mod.

THIS VERSION CONTAINS SIMPLIFIED DESCRIPTIONS IN GAME.

List of Changes this mod does:
1. Added Deadly Aim 2
2. Added Deadly Aim 3
3. Added Deadly Aim 4
4. Changed the "learn" Path for melee sneak attacks to Backstab ---> Assassin's Blade
6. Left path is still default sneak path in the base Skyrim game. Middle path (2 points) is for melee based combat. Right path is ranged/marksman/archer based combat.

What this mod does:

Added 4 new perks along a new path in the sneak tree. The goal of this is to keep archery competitive with melee sneak attacks. End Game I have found with daggers, you can easily 1 shot essentially anything. With Marksmanship, you have trouble sneak attack critting your average bandit to death. This mod intends somewhat balance this huge gap in the damage output.
The four new perks are the only substantial changes with this mod. The Backstab and Assassin's Blades perks do the same thing, except the learning path was changed to accommodate the new archery path.

Deadly Aim 2: Sneak attacks with bows now do Four times damage. You are learning the ways of the silent ranged assassin, and your shots reflect your newfound skills. This perk requires you to have a minimum of both 50 Marksmanship and 60 Sneak.

Deadly Aim 3: Sneak attacks with bows now do Five times damage. You are nearly unrivaled in your Marksmanship and your ability to remain undetected. This perk requires you to have a minimum of 75 Marksmanship and 80 Sneak.

Deadly Aim 4: Sneak attacks with bows now do Ten times damage. You are a world-class sniper, nearly undetectable, and you make every shot a kill shot. This perk requires you to have a minimum of both 100 Marksmanship and 100 Sneak.

Things to note:
This mod should be in compatible with any other sneak modifying mods. As for how this works each rank stacks multiplicatively so if, you manage to add the last rank via console. You will only get the 2x multiplier for that rank. I am sorry for any potential confusion.

Help for console users:
typing into the console
help "perk name" 4
Change "perk name" to whatever the name of the perk you want. This allows you to see the perk ID in game (also useful since this is a mod and the first 2 numbers will change based on load order). For the purposes of this mod it would read
help "deadly aim" 4

Version 1.0.2 Released 7/26/12
BassZ1890 informed me that the first rank of deadly aim was unobtainable. I forgot to modify a parameter so that Deadly Aim does not require you to have the "Backstab" perk (6x damage 1handed) I have since changed it and uploaded the latest version. The first Deadly Aim should now work correctly.
