So I beefed up Lydia's level and she is noticeably less squishy now. Just wondering if anyone knows of any problems doing this, I have a save pre-change so I can roll back to that.

Thank Talos for the console!

I havent had one problem with it. And yes its a great thing!

Should be fine. Make sure her skills have also been raised to a level around your own (getav/setav skill #) so she's competent in a fight, and enjoy

Oh bloody hell I forgot to do that. Lucky I made this thread, thanks!
