advice for some who play the game
at least one man in your settlement WILL have better stats than you.
if there is, don't upgrade your current one
go into a forest, find a glyph transplant and switch to him
and whatever you do NEVER SHOOT A BACKGROUND-OBJECT-DAMAGING SPELL IN THE WASTELANDS SAJKDFJF
uh I crouched down and crawled down a tunnel and now I can't get back up because you apparently cant jump up to crouched areas so is that game over?
solution 1. 2 transmogrify-into-bat scrolls
solution 2. miniaturize spell
solution 3. elusion scroll
if none are available, yeah Self Delete is an option
