Better Vanilla Bodyguards

**DISCONTINUED**

If you're like me, you like the vanilla game mostly just how it is. However I had this problem with the way the Jarl's Bodyguards were set. They were set at level 4... really level 4?! I decided to do something about that and make them all tougher, now maybe you'll think twice before messing with the Jarl or you may be in for some hurt. This includes the court wizards, but does not include the general guards. I also wasn't too happy with the way some of these Bodyguards looked.

The Jarl's Bodyguards are all of his/her personal unique housecarls and court wizards.

The changes I made are:

1. Changed the max level on ALL Bodyguards listed from level 4 to 60.
2. Improved the facial appearance of some Bodyguards, some were left alone (for now).
3. Changed the behavior of ALL Bodyguards set at Foolhardy to Brave.
4. Adjusted court wizards that were set at Help No One to Help Allies.

No DLC or other mods required for use.

***Update: Edited a few more NPCs' facial features, of course some more drastic than others. Cleaned up Falk Firebeard's face a little and discovered he had some gnarly scars on his face, and changed his eyes accordingly to match up with the scars that tell a story. Also gave him a beard more deserving of his name, now he looks like a seasoned right hand that's served at a king's side for a long time. (*Special Note*) I'm having computer problems with my gaming PC, and it's at the repair shop. I do intend to keep working on this mod and finishing it up.

****Recommended Mods: "Final Younger Characters" from the Nexus site is NOT required, however it does improve the appearance of characters in general and I recommend using it as it does not make the game un~vanilla friendly. For example, it removes the square shadows on the tip of the nose on nords and the excessive wrinkles on everyone in general. (Recommended for Vanilla Body users)

*!!!* =>Known Conflicts & Compatibilities: This mod will conflict with any mod that changes the behavior, stats, or appearance of edited NPCs listed above. This mod should be compatible with texture mods as long as they don't edit the listed NPCs directly. Your results may vary with various mods that alter the general shape of facial features away from vanilla, like "Calientes Female Body Mod CBBE" for example. This mod was created with the vanilla body users in mind.

~This mod is part of an ongoing project of making a line of vanilla body friendly mods for the vanilla body users. Although my mods may work with other unique body mods, I specifically designed my mods to be used with the vanilla bodies. If you're interested in seeing my other works please check out my collection that this mod is a part of. These mods include changes to Housecarls, Spouses, Bards, Jarls and now the Jarl's personal Bodyguards.
