I created a follower of its own race and set it to level with the player and created a unique class to properly assign skills so that the follower gains access to increasingly powerful spells it and the player level up together. Unfortunately, when I check the followers stats with UFO, the follower despite being level 44, has no skills or attributes allocated anywhere. I go to the creation kit and I can set the minimum level for the NPC to, say, 25, and the default attributes and skills will change appropriately - as I want them to in game. I made sure iAVDhmsLevelUp
was set to 8, as it should be by default, but this had no effect. I have reason to believe that UFO isn't lying to me, because when I take the character into combat, she does not utilize any of the spells that require higher levels of the destruction skill.
What am I missing? This is immensely frustrating and I would very much appreciate assistance.
