Not happy with the looks of the male Dark Brotherhood Initiate?

Oh boy, another Nord... yawn No thank you.

How about a very rough and hopefully sexy around the edges Wood Elf Assassin instead?

For marriage, it might be a good idea to get Honeyside in Riften first as a home. Then as soon as the ceremony is over with run after him and suggest you live there.

Please note: I have yet to test out the marriage part of this mod. I've only gone through the dark brotherhood quest once and had my Listener marry someone else. ( Cicero-yes Cicero XD )

[size=+2]Bugs?[/size]

If you knock him down (hurt him pretty bad) he may stay that way and crawl about. For how long? No clue and didn't want to loose additional game play to find out. This might be a vanilla bug as I remember watching a video on youtube about it ages ago. I did a little bit of research and found out some followers just do this and to fix the problem you need to FUS them. (Force Shout but obviously not a good idea to do near a cliff unless you want to be widowed.) If anyone who can confirm a better solution to this glitch please let me know. Till then if this happens it might be best to go back to a previous save.

Any other problems, please let me know.

[size=+2]Enhancements?[/size]

I did tweak a few of his stats by giving him the following perks to fit with his skills: Overdraw, Overdraw 20%, Agile Defender, Agile Defender 20%, Stealth, Stealth 20%, Light Foot, Alteration Novice, Restoration Novice and Conjuration Novice.

He also comes with a few spells (BoundBow, Healing LeftHand, LightningBolt, Sparks and Oakflesh) but so far I've only seen him use Oakflesh. He prefers using One Handed attacks with Shield or staffs.

(His fighting style is very similar to Cicero's in that he's Very Aggressive and Foolhardy)

You may want to use Alternate Actors by Iceburg to set up more perks points he has earned while leveling up by your side.

I'm up for more suggestions in the department of his combat style. Originally he was what's called a csWEAssassinMissile but now csWEAssassinMelee. When he was csWEAssassinMissile he stayed out of the way, used his bow and arrows more but seems to have trouble getting a clear shoot and doing any real damage but this might have been due to Cicero getting in his way. -.-

I'm thinking of testing out and offering csWEBattlemage combat option so perhaps he'll use his spells more often.

[size=+2]FAQ:[/size]

Why did you do this?
Again wasn't impressed with the original Male Dark Brotherhood Initiate. I like Bosmer. Lastly I think Raanan really fits his voice now and hopefully he'll have you grinning too.

Is he still essential?
He should be.

To turn off essential open the console menu with ~ key click on Raanan to bring up his ID number then enter the following: setessential 0 This should make him mortal.

Entering: setessential 1 Will set him immortal

Can you make him at lease have this _____ hair style, pretty please?
I’ll consider it only if it’s any ApachiiSkyHair or Vanilla one. (Consider only because I don’t want to put up dozens of variations of this mod.) Will need a photo or link to the style you want. Or check out Apachii SkyHair Wigs by EvenstarGW

Can you make him stand alone?
*blushes* I don't know how! *sobs* But! If you know how you're welcome to do it and post it on Nexus. All I ask is for a link on your mod to this one and I'd be happy to put a link for your mod on mine. :)
