Rpg engine V 2.0

I've had some down time to kill at work this week and I reworked my diceless rpg engine.

I could use some input.

Basically I'm looking to do a play-as-you-will model that increases skills as they're used. Then have an overall character level that adds 1 perk per level. A race with it's own traits. And finally a list of classes that add their own perks.

So basically a lot like Skyrim, but a lot more streamlined, less pigeon holed, four core stats, and an emphasis on everything having value.

The skills on the wheel add to the two core stats that it sits between, giving more to the stats that it's closer to.

EXAMPLE

The wheel goes:

Strength
Two Handed
One Handed
Crafting
Duel Wield
Marksman
Agility

So if you improve Two Handed, 1/4 goes towards agility and 3/4 goes to strength.

Or

If you improve crafting 1/2 goes to strength and 1/2 goes to agility.

Each skill has 4 perks that can be unlocked at 25, 50, 75, and 100.

Each state has a perk at 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100.

This gives 100 perks for 100 levels, with the player starting at level 0.

The perks make sure that every single skill adds to the player regardless if they never use it.

That said, here's the wheel in it's entirety:

Spoiler: Wheel

Strength - adds 2 Health each level

Two Handed - adds melee force each level

One Handed - adds attack class each level

Crafting - Improves crafting mastery

Duel Wield - Increases attack speed

Marksman - Increases critical damage

Agility - Adds 2 Stamina each level

Stealth - Increases sneak and Lockpick

Unarmored - Increases attack class for defence when not wearing armor

Alchemy - Increases alchemy mastery

Wind - Increases wind mastery and lightning defense

Water - Increase water mastery and cold defence

Intelligence - Adds 2 Mana each level

Fire - Increase fire mastery and fire defence

Earth - Increase earth mastery and poison defense

Enchant - increase enchanting mastery

Arcane - increase arcane mastery and magic defense

Speech - increase speechcraft abilities and decreases merchant costs

Will Power - Adds 1 to health, Mana, and stamina

Dark - Increase dark mastery and tbd

Light - Increase light mastery and tbd

Smithing - increase smithing mastery

Armored - increase attack class for defense when wearing armor

Block - increase effectiveness of blocking

Strength (end of wheel)

A few things

It should be noted that the four crafting skills (crafting, smithing, enchanting, and alchemy) will also include their own charts with individual levels for type and material. The mastery is an over all bonus.

Crating as a crafting skill is confusing and may need better naming, but the idea is that this is the skill for improving the aesthetics of items for value and enchanting potential. And is also for leather and wooden items. Definitely can use some cleaning up.

Dark and Light magics don't have damage types so I'm working on what benefits they can have for everyone.

Armored and Unarmored are meant to be non exclusive, meaning they're a range between the two. "Light Armor" still implies armor, when it's supposed to be the players ability to dodge and feign, while armored is supposed to be the effectiveness of using armor.

Melee attacks have various perks based on the stance your character is in. Two Handed increases strength for weapons by 50%, One Handed and nothing in the off hand increases the Attack Class by 50%, Duel Wield increases attack speed by 50%, shields or other off hand items get their own benefits.
