Ashlander Huntress Companion Yara
by stripes

version 0.71


Yara is an outcast Ashlander hunter that will join you on your adventures

Features:
- Standard mwscript follower functions such as sharing, warp, water walk, levitate.
- Stats fitting of Hunter class. Favors marksman, short blade, and light armor.
- Yurt near Indoranyon for easy fast travel access.
- Yara's journal placed in her yurt so you can "get to know her".
- Teleports to her yurt if health gets too low to reduce possibility of dying.
- Can craft low tier potions via dialogue if she has the ingredients.
- Crafts chitin star while player rests if she has none.

MWSE enhanced features:*
-she will buff your fatigue regeneration at the start of battle with a spell.
-she harvests ingredients from plants when she gets near them.
*MWSE isn't required but without it you won't get the enhanced features.


Notes:
I decided to implement Yara's potion crafting in a simple but hopefully believable way.
Instead of the hassle of requiring any random or specific apparatus or break gameplay
balance, I invented old Ashlander field potion recipes.  Secret alchemy techniques
that don't require special alchemy tools but only yield low value potions.
I used only her local ingredients she would have easy access to as an Erabenimsun Ashlander.
As of this release she can make these potions:
Healing - 2 marshmerrow + 2 saltrice
Light - 2 black anther + 2 red lichen
Levitate - 2 trama root + 2 racer plumes

Plans for next update:
-Support for Graphic Herbalism
-Thoughtful gift required to recruit her as a companion
-Custom face and hair ( if it turns out good :P )
