Maybe, as you were saying, condense some of the tree's into one but keeping the structure intact. For instance, if the first perk point is free, it could go :- Fighter (free) - can use weapons ____ Armsman - on to rest of 1 Handed Tree l__ Barbarian - on to rest of 2 Handed Tree Guard (free) - can use armour ______ Agile Defender - on to rest of Light Armour Tree l__ Juggernaut - on to rest of Heavy Armour Tree The only problem would be if there's a limit to the number of perks slots in a single tree.
