Adds an Argonian follower in the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood who levels with the player uniquely. This mod was created with the high level adventurer in mind (Level 81+) but can be played by any level.

This guy will probably be updated almost every day, even more since I'm getting a bunch of nice people to test it. So be sure to check this page every day or use some sort of autoupdater that some of the popular mod managers have.

Stats

Arexon scales twice the player level. So if you're level 30 then he's level 60. The reasoning for this is because NPCs skill progression is around twice as bad compared to the player. For example if the player and the npc level up one handed to level 100, the player will be a lower level compared to the NPC. Only downside to this is that arexon will have a lot of HP/Mana/Stamina , but it should be generally balanced because Arexon doesn't have a million health potions to chug like the player does.

Elite Bound Sword
