Real Companions - Journeymen

---------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ----------------------------------

The Companions Storyline was supposed to be a central theme of Skyrim... but it is filled with broken scripts and half-finished missions. The Companions are supposed to be the greatest warriors in Skyrim... but they're wimps. REAL COMPANIONS fixes this!

----------------------------------- CHARACTERS ------------------------------------

Athis
- Will now level with the character from Level 5 to 80.
- Updated class to provide greater emphasis on One-Handed to match training ability and he can now sneak.
- Changed combat style to the Foresworn Berserker so he can dual wield, matching his dialogue with Torvar!
- Has a 50 point offset to Stamina, to match his role as a DPS.
- Increased base speed to 140, so Athis can keep up more easily with the player.
- Has the perks: Fighting Stance - Armsman - Duel Flurry - Bladesman - Muffled Movement.

Njada Stonearm
- Will now level with the character from Level 5 to 80.
- Updated her class so she actually DOES focus on Block instead of pickpocket, & added Heavy Armor skills.
- Has a 50 point offset to Health to match her role as a Tank.
- Changed Combat Style to Human Tank - Shield, to compliment training ability.
- Increased base speed to 140, so she can keep up more easily with the player.
- Has the perks ShieldWall - DeflectArrows - ElementalProtection - DisarmingBash - MuffledMovement.

Ria
- Will now level with the character from Level 4 to 80.
- Has a 40 point offset split evenly between health & stamina.
- Increased base speed to 140 so Ria can keep up with the player more easily.
- As the newest / least experienced Companion, I set Ria to essential, so she cannot die.
- Changed Combat Style to Guard Orc One-Handed for high skills in Sneak, Heavy Armor, & One-Handed.
- Has the perks Armsman - Bladesman - Juggernaut - ShieldWall - MuffledMovement.

Torvar
- Will now level with the character from Level 5 to 80.
- Has a 50 point offset split 30/20 between health & stamina.
- Has the perks Barbarian, Champion's Stance, Devastating Blow, Great Critical Charge, & Muffled Movement
- Changed class to Combat Warrior Two-Handed & changed his combat style to Human Boss Two-Handed, to make his combat ability match the conversation he had with Athis.
- Has a Skyforge Steel War Hammer as his primary weapon.

----------------------------- WEAPONS / ARMOR ------------------------------

Adds the Skyforge Steel Warhammer to Companions weaopns list. This weapon can be purchased from Eorlund Gray-Mane and improved at a grinding wheel.

------------------------------------ GAMEPLAY ------------------------------------

Companions are now set to provide aid to friends and allies, including the player should they become members of The Companions. Everyone in Jorrvaskr now share friendships and alliances with one another. If the player chooses to marry a member of The Companions, many of them will now attend the wedding.

-------------------------------- LORE FRIENDLY --------------------------------

Once the player becomes a Companion in the vanilla game, they get a free Skyforge weapon and can purchase a complete set of Wolf Armor if they have the money.

THIS STANDS AS PROOF THAT YOU DO *NOT* NEED TO BE A MEMBER OF THE CIRCLE, NOR DO YOU NEED TO BE A *WEREWOLF* TO ACQUIRE WOLF ARMOR!

Providing Wolf Armor to all the Companions is NOT a violation of Lore and it is actually MORE Lore Friendly to give the Companions a uniform attire, as also seen in the Dark Brotherhood, College of Winterhold, and the Thieves Guild.

Note: Draugr armor IS Heavy Armor, so Aela has been wearing inferior Heavy Armor this entire time, and did not have the skills to use it effectively while sneaking. NOW she has superior armor and the skills to use it.
