Well, i'm kinda late for you Journeyman, but at least i hope this post will help whoever will try to find out where does "The Gist Giver" come from. Well, it comes from Kharjo. In fact, with the Specialized Followers mod, Kharjo has the ability to give you the perk The Gist: The Gist - Can sense nearby creatures when sneaking. _____Kharjo is a capable warrior, but he understands the value of stealth. His soft fur lets him move silently even in bulky armor, and he can keep himself hidden well. His strong sense of smell lets him locate targets to let allies know their positions. Players who strongly value stealth will find no better ally than Kharjo. The Gist gives you constant detection of all creatures out to 100 feet when you are within 40 feet of Kharjo. You must be sneaking for it to to be active.Kharjo has also been given the perks Silence and Stealth rank 1.If Kharjo is your follower, do not enter sneak mode during a brawl. This will force real combat.
