change stats of followers

[PiggyFrog]

is there anyway to change a followers stats?
I don't want to replace aloth with a custom mage with better stats because then I would lose out on dialoge, but I really dont like that he has so low might.

Any Inn has a re-spec tab..it cost gold but you can re-spec anybody you want. I dont know if you get to change main Stats but its the palce to start if you can. just save before you try.

can't change at inn's, but with some google-fu I figured out how to do it.
It's technically a cheat and disables achievements (but who cares about those anyway?)

Here is a quick howto:

1:open the console (check controls options to see what key)
2: type in "Iroll20s" (this enables cheat-mode, a requirement to change stats)
3: open console again and type in "FindCharacter Aloth" (or whatever companion you want to edit)
4: look at the chatbox to see what the "in-game-name" of your companion is. for me this was "Companion_Aloth(Clone)_1"
5: the console command for changing a stat is: "AttributeScore <playername> <attributename> <amount>".
In my case "AttributeScore Companion_Aloth(Clone)_1 Might 15" and then "AttributeScore Companion_Aloth(Clone)_1 Dexterity 11"

note: to give aloth 12 dexterity i type in "Dexterity 11" because elves get +1 dexterity and the stat changed is the base before that bonus.

Are you sure they're not in the Inns? I've heard someone say that the icon for them looks like a dice or two (haven't downloaded the patch yet so not sure myself).

yes, I'm sure.
the respec at the inn just resets the character to lvl 1, so you get to redo the lvl up's, but you can't change the stats or the lvl 1 ability pick.
