It's easier for you to convince others the "nice way". You gain +2 to Persuasion, Impression and Presence. People are also more likely to try to solve crimes with you in person rather than going straight for the guard. But beware, the more dangerous you look, the more likely they still choose to go for the guard instead.

As long as you don't kill anyone, your non-combat skills will be increased by 2 and your Speech by 3. If you kill someone, you lose the bonus but can regain it if you don't kill anyone for 12 game hours.

When dealing with women, you gain a +2 bonus on all skill checks, a 15% discount on purchases, and a 25% discount on bathhouse services.

If you use a Battle cry during a fight, not only will it give you courage, but it will also put fear into your enemies' veins. As a result, their morale will decrease and they are more likely to give up, run away or just generally find it harder to fight you.

If you attack right after performing a Perfect Block, you can perform a counter-attack - a riposte.

You can perform a riposte, i.e. attack immediately after performing a Perfect Block. To perform a riposte, press the attack key as soon as your weapon touches the opponent's during a Perfect block. A riposte can only be defended against with a Perfect Block. This technique is very effective against inexperienced swordsmen, and a duel of two master swordsman is often a chain of Perfect Blocks followed by ripostes until one of them slips up.

In combat, you can use a evasive maneuver. You can perform it by pressing the jump key along with a directional key. You can use it to quickly dodge attacks, move to a safe distance, or even move closer to your opponent. What's more, if you perform a dodge in the timeframe for a Perfect Block, your opponent will lose his balance, and it will be easier to break his defense.

If you move to attack from one direction but quickly change direction just before your attack, your opponent will have less chance to parry the attack.

Your attacks will be stronger the more injured you are. The effect will only work if you have 75 points of health or less.

When you're outnumbered in a fight, you deal 10 % more damage.

You've perfected your feint to the point that it's very difficult for even an experienced warrior to respond to it.

The weight of the armour you wear affects your speed of movement and how much stamina sprinting depletes.

Whenever you make a dodge, a perfect dodge or sprint during combat, you gain a +3 bonus on Warfare skill and your stamina replenishes 15 % faster. The effect lasts for 10 seconds.

If you spur your horse, it will recover much more stamina than before! The rest of the effect remains the same.

Every enemy killed from the saddle increases your horse's morale, so it won't falter easily in battle.

When riding on the road, you horse will consume Stamina 15 % slower.

If you have your dog with you, you will appear more threatening and tough to others. This will show in the Presence and Intimidation skillchecks, but also in combat, as enemies are more likely to give up or run away. And if they don't, they'll have a harder time fighting you.

When you have your dog with you, your Charisma is increased by 3.

Mutt's obedience will decrease 25 % slower over time.

Mutt will defend you in battle and even attack enemies at your command.

Your dog's attacks will be 20 % stronger, making it easier and faster for him to deal with enemies.

If your dog inflicts a bleeding wound on an enemy, the bleeding will accelerate and they will fall sooner.

In combat, Mutt will be tougher and will take 10 % less damage from enemies.

You’ve taught Mutt to create a ruckus and draw attention to himself. This can be handy, especially when you need to sneak somewhere unnoticed. You can get him to bark by selecting the relevant command under Commands. Mutt will start barking on the spot, so make yourself scarce quickly to pull off your ruse.

Strange dogs won't react to you by barking, just growling. This can come in handy, for example, if you're trespassing in someone's yard, because the owner of the house might not even notice a growling dog. However, if you attack the dog, it will probably bark and then go and tear your braies off.

Mutt can sniff out enemies and other potential trouble at a much greater distance. This makes it easier to spot and avoid an ambush or other events during fast travel.

When Mutt flees, the time it takes for him to come back to you is a quarter shorter.

When sleeping in the wilderness, your dog keeps you warm. The bed quality will therefore increase by 20 % but not exceeding 50 % of the bed quality.

You can command Mutt to sniff out places of interest or hunted game. To do this, select the "Free!" command. He'll alert you by barking if he finds something. Thanks to your loyal companion, you won't miss a thing.

You're able to recognize the difficulty of skillchecks, but not your chances of succeeding. You'll still have to decide for yourself whether it's worth the risk. The effect of your reputation isn't taken into account in the displayed difficulty.

You will be able to pray at shrines, crosses and similar places. If you do so, you will receive a buff that can protect you from mortal injury in combat and restore 25 % of your health. The effect lasts for 12 game hours or until you use it.

Reputation recovery for undertaking the Penitential Pilgrimage will be more effective and the buff from the first level of this perk will now last for 24 game hours.

You can stealthily knock people out. To do this, sneak up to your victim and initiate a chokehold. Then be ready to press attack to finish the action and knock out your opponent. It's a good idea to then hide the unconscious body so nobody stumbles across it. Your victim will regain consciousness after some time, so whatever it is you're up to, make it quick.

You can be very stealthy when picking locks or pickpocketing people. From a distance, no one will notice anything.

You can tell which stolen items are considered stolen in the location you’re currently in.
