Removing Legendary Skill Ranks in Skyrim?

So I'm running SkyRE, and one of the known bugs is that the Longbow's Overdraw perk will break occasionally when adding a new perk to the Longbow tree.

The fix is to Legendary the Marksman skill, then use player.setav <skillName> <skillLvl> to reset the skill to it's previous level. Then re-add all the perks.

This works fine, and seems to be the only fix available. However, it's left me with several legendary skill ranks that I haven't earned. I've looked around for a console command to erase Legendary levels to no avail.

Anyone else have a solution to reset the Legendary count to 0?

I'm not aware of any way to do this in the console, but SKSE does expose a scripting API for adding and removing legendary levels, if you're willing to get your hands dirty writing your own mod. You could do something like the following in a Papyrus script:

ActorValueInfo.GetActorValueInfo("Marksman").SetSkillLegendaryLevel(0)

(This cannot be typed at the console; it has to be compiled into a Papyrus script and then executed by the game's scripting engine. Also, it requires a reasonably recent version of SKSE - if for some strange reason you must use an older version, use the deprecated Game.SetSkillLegendaryLevel() instead.)

Can you reset a legendary skill in Skyrim?

You can reset your skill at any time after you reach level 100 by making it legendary. This will make the skill value 15 and get your perks back. With Dragonborn after you complete the main quest At the Summit of Apocrypha you can get you perks back at the cost of a dragon soul.

Does making a skill legendary remove perks?

Yes, you lose the effects of the perks as well. The point is that if you make a skill legendary, you still have the same amount of perk points as before, but now that the skill is set to 15 again, you can level it up once more and gain more perk points.

What happens if you make a skill legendary in Skyrim?

Once a skill has reached 100, it can be made "Legendary." This resets the skill back to level 15, and refunds any Perk points that were spent in that skill tree.

Is it worth making one handed Legendary?

Your existing one-handed perks will be refunded and can be reallocated. But doing it or not depends on your survivability after making one-handed legendary. I will suggest doing so since one-handed will your primary combat style, you will find yourself levelling quickly once you reset.
