Inquisition perks

When the Inquisitor has accumulated enough influence, they are able to unlock new perks that provide a variety of bonuses for the Inquisitor's advisors in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Cullen commands the forces, Leliana oversees the secrets, and Josephine manages the connections.
Further perks can be gained through the acquisition of agents. Each agent reduces the time it takes for their category's advisor to complete war table mission by 5%.
There are 34 perks available in all. However a maximum of 19 perks, not counting agents, can be obtained during gameplay.
Where the perk requires a certain number of points in the category as a prerequisite, it should be noted that any agents in that category count towards this tally.
