About this mod
Bard Insurance Cheques can be crafted from Lutes/Flutes/Drums so you get paid more.
Adds a way to pay a follower a yearly salary instead of the default vanilla 500 gold for a follower risking their life for you, which I didn't think was very immersive or logical.
Self-managed! This does not stop you from getting a follower for

The History:
Basically, I have played Skyrim for a few years now, and I once stopped and thought about the difficulty level of the game, and I used to have a habit of starting a new playthrough by going to Riften and paying Marcurio 500 Gold.
Then he would kill everything for me, and by the time my character reached level 40 I'd have Mjoll & Serana as backup instead.
Then I compared this to other rpg's and realised, the followers make the game significantly easier.
I was basically relying on the followers to get me through the game.
So I then changed my habit and imposed a policy of paying followers a much higher amount depending on their abilities and essential status.
I didn't used to know how to make mods, so I had to do this manually and control it myself in game.
Holding the left key on the controller to move the slider to exactly '50,000' is a little tedious, and now that I've learned a bit more about modding, it was too simple not to make a permanent function out of this, but I didn't want to include it in Champion of The Daedra, since it only addresses a personal peeve and not necessarily something other players might want to do.
So here it is as a separate mod, but flagged as .ESL so it doesn't add to your .esp limit.
It only took about 5 minutes to make, but for me it adds immersion and sensibility to the game which I personally felt was important.
The Prices:
Type 1 - Melee Hireling (or Rangers) 50,000 Gold
Type 2 - Destruction Mages (100,000 Gold)
Type 3 - Healer Mages (150,000 Gold)
You can craft Type 1 by taking 50,000 gold coins to any forge.
You can craft Type 2 by taking 50,000 gold coins + [1 x Type 1] to any forge.
You can craft Type 3 by taking 50,000 gold coins + [2 x Type 1] OR [1 x Type 2] to any forge.
