Description: Familiars are woefully underpowered in Skyrim. They have the stats of a starting wolf (i.e. 2nd level creature), but the magicka cost to summon them in twice that of a Flame Atronach (7th level creature). So I beefed up the stats to the Familiar to 6th level, and dramatically reduced the magicka cost. They are still an early level summons, but will at least not get 1-shot killed by other low-level creatures now. Nor will they chew up your magicka with little to show for it.
Installation: Simply copy the Improved Familiars.esp file to your Skyrim\data folder. When you start Skyrim, select the Improved Familiars mod.
Version History: 1.0 - Original Release
1.1 - Fixed bug of Familiars being invulnerable in Skyrim version 1.6
