CURRENT UPDATE: 12/06/2012
-Fixes applied to prevent stuck or frozen NPC during werewolf transformation

Previous Update 03/14/2012
-Adjusted health threshold to try and prevent bad transformation. (now transformation happens at 50% or below) See notes in "known issues" below
-Changed Farkas and Vilkas reaction to crime. Fixes issue where Farkas or Vilkas would not transform back
-Changed Farkas Heavy Armor trainer profile to match his skills (previously had bad skills like sneak and Speech)
-Added block and 1h perks to Farkas and Vilkas

Previous Update: 03/10/2012
-As requested, added Wolf Armor to Farkas' default inventory
-Circle members will now try to transform to a werewolf when you do while in combat! Let the howling and shredding begin!!!!
-Updated skills, perks, and equipment for Athis, Njada, and Ria


Previous Update: 03/06/2012
-Changed health threshold for transformation. Transformation happens at 40% or less health.
-Modified perks for Aela. She was a bit too powerful at higher levels. Now a bit more balanced.

Known Issues:
-NPC sometimes gets stuck in terrain when transforming. Usually will unstick themselves, or fast traveling fixes this.
-Bad transformations (character stuck transforming) occur when the NPC takes too much damage and is staggered or "dies" To avoid this, keep heavy hitting enemies off NPC while they transform. (Or give them better armor :P )

Please rate, leave feedback, and any bugs you encounter!!!
