📋 About This Mod
What's it do?
Two things:
-
[]It reduces the initial number of allowed followers (in Nether's Follower Framework) to 1, then lets you increase that number by buying perks which unlock as your Speech levels up.
[
]It allows you to buy perks which increase your number of commanded minions (summons, raised undead, and the like), which also unlock as your Speech levels up.The two branches of the perk tree are independent, so you can spend perk points on increasing followers, minions, both, or neither as you prefer.
This mod was inspired by Leadership, and even though I wanted something a little different, mad props to Nahsch for having the idea.
Command Skill is a lightweight Skyrim mod that ties follower and minion slot counts to your Speech skill level. It offers a simple progression system for players who want to lead larger groups without heavy scripting. With 88 endorsements and regular updates, it's a niche but functional addition for those focused on Speech-based builds.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Ties into an existing skill tree, so progression feels natural.
- Small file size and no heavy dependencies.
- Community-tested with 88 endorsements and over 5.5k downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Limited to Speech-focused builds; other playstyles won't benefit.

- No recent updates since August 2023, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions is uncertain.
For Skyrim players who want to lead larger armies and enjoy Speech-based characters. If you're a stealth archer or mage, this mod won't do much for you. Skip if you prefer gameplay overhauls that change follower systems entirely.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to load this mod after any mods that alter Speech perks to avoid conflicts.
- If you're using a mod manager, enable it and check the load order manually.
- Test with a new character to see the slot increases as you level Speech.
