Description
*******************
Tired of followers and companions who can't/won't buff or heal you in combat?  Tired of them always wearing the same outfit until you get them to change?

Introducing Cerwiden, the "intelligent" mage companion.  Why do I use "intelligent" in quotes?  Because there's only so much you can do with the Bethesda CK, but it's all I've got.  :)  This said, Cerwiden can:

- Cast defensive buffs on you and your other followers/companions
- Heal you and your followers/companions in combat
- Cure you when you've been infected by disease (after combat ends, so that there's no wasted magicka from you getting reinfected. Cerwiden is smart, remember? :P
- When dismissed or in "relax" mode, change outfits, including a nighttime outfit

To try and keep game balance, Cerwiden starts at low level and won't be getting her buffs and heals until she's gained some skill levels.

What's New
*******************
Version 1.3 focuses on balancing and additional configuration options.  Ceri's combat and spell AI has been updated significantly, so please do a CLEAN save mod install if you're updating from v1.1 or 1.2.  If you're updating from 1.3BETA, you do not need a clean save install but simply need to overwrite.

- Additional combat aggression settings via dialog configuation
- Ceri's cure spell now may be toggled via dialog configuration
- Ceri's dismiss location may now be set via dialog configuration
- Combat weapon use/AoE destruction spell use may not be set via dialog configuration
- If you have Ceri picking her own outfits, she'll now occasionally change her hairstyle
- Many script updates to improve performance

From 1.3BETA, 1.3 updates the following:

- Head mesh/textures now included for those who wanted Ceri with the Envision face but did not want to use Envision globally for all female NPCs
- Changed status panel entry for Combat Weapon Use to reduce confusion
- Unattached a debug script that I'd forgotten about
- Added another check on Ceri's wardrobe relating to intermod-compatibility with UFO and Wearable Lanterns
- Corrected up some dialogue menu typos

Compatibility
*******************
Cerwiden should play nice with other mods, and has been reported to work with UFO, EFF, HFC, AFT and other companion mods.  Note that Cerwiden's wardrobe functions may conflict with other mods that also attempt wardrobe management, so toggle Cerwiden's wardrobe if you plan on using other mods for this.

Cerwiden may also behave irregularly in terms of combat healing if you use mods that alter vanilla Skyrim combat AI, or otherwise modify Ceri's spells and perks.

Installation
*******************
NMM:  Download, activate and enjoy!

Clean Save Instructions:

3 Deactivate and uninstall earlier version of Ceri
4 Load your save from 2, and re-save in another NEW slot (not quicksave), and exit Skyrim
5 Install and activate Ceri 1.3
