📋 About This Mod
I was tired of having to add and balance perks to each and every follower that I added in my Requiem games. So I made this SPID .ini file to do it automatically for me.
Almost all perks that have been selected have a skill requirement of 25 or below and all are useful in combat. The one exception is "Light Foot" which requires over 25 skill. I felt that this was necessary since the AI doesn't ever try to avoid traps and the perk will make followers immune to some traps.
Since these are only novice and apprentice perks followers should not become overpowered. Followers enhanced by this mod will still be inferior to vanilla followers but at least they will be somewhat competent rather than a liability.
The only requirements are that they be an NPC actor in the potential follower faction. Perks are assigned to all followers regardless of the follower's skill level. It shouldn't affect creature followers.
This mod adds the following perks to all followers-
ALTERATION
Apprentice Alteration, Empowered Alteration, Improved Mage Armor, Novice Alteration

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Makes followers actually useful in Requiem's brutal combat (116 endorsements)
- No more manually editing follower records—SPID does the work
- Lightweight and script-free, just drop in the .ini
⚠️ Cons
- Requires Requiem and SPID as dependencies—not for vanilla players
- Only adds novice and apprentice perks, so high-level followers might still lag behind
- No configuration options—applies to all followers indiscriminately
For Requiem players who are tired of followers getting shredded by bandits and want a quick fix. Perfect if you already use SPID and want a set-and-forget solution. Skip if you're not playing Requiem or prefer hand-tuned follower overhauls.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have SPID installed and properly configured before adding this mod—otherwise the perks won't distribute.
- Load this mod after Requiem and any follower overhauls to ensure compatibility.
- If you want to exclude certain followers, you can edit the .ini to add exceptions—check SPID documentation for syntax.
