Description
Swaps Anska's gender to male, while generally giving his combat prowess a modest nudge, to make the quest more interesting.
Features:
- Turns Anska into a man (voice stays the same for quest/technical reasons).
- Gives him scale armor and boots to stand a better chance against the draugr.
- Allows him to scale from level 10, and up to level 40, for hopefully better high level questing.
- Changes him a random enchanted one handed weapon, ditching the dull blade that could barely cut butter.
- Sets his combat style to be a spellsword, instead of a bandit wizard, so he'll hopefully fight a bit better overall.
- ESP flagged as an ESL, with no wild edits, and has facegen packed neatly inside BSAs.
The outfit, combat style, and weapon leveled list he uses are each from vanilla. By nature they'll benefit from any combat mods and loot mods you may be using that might edit them. I don't think most loot mods touch the outfit in question, but I know most combat overhauls tweak combat styles. Should be interesting.
As for the why, I wanted to play around with actor records in the CK a bit, and after being inspired by Loki's mod, this was the result. I was also inspired by learning that the name, "Anska," is actually a masculine name. Overall though, It Just Works(TM) since Anska's gender is never explicitly mentioned in dialogue.
While I'm a cisman myself, I also wanted to be sure to show some support for the Nexus's trans friends out there. Anyway I hope you enjoy the mod.

Incompatible with mods that directly edit Anska's NPC record. The only record I edited is Anska's NPC.
Compatible with mods that edit Anska's (in)famous flaming familiar. I did not touch the quest, spell, dungeon itself, or reward.
Compatible with everything else.
