Change Jericho's recruit requeriments and make him something like a bodyguard

So, in vanilla, Jericho recruitment requires both a bad karma and 1000 caps to strike a deal. I think its a bit too much for a guy who seems to be a retired raider with some health problems, so i thought in do some tweaks to him:

 

First of all, sightly reduce his health and his skills, to match his lines while following the player complaining about speed or coughing blood. Nothing too drastic to not turn him a waste of caps.

 

Also make his recruitment karma-neutral, keeping the 1000 caps requirement: since assuming from his lines he was more interested in caps than to judge if a "pampered Vault asshole" would be able to fend off in the wastes. If LW can pay him enough, he will consider to return to the wastes.

 

Maybe, to bypass the 1000 caps fee, female LWs could have an Black Widow check to seduce him in follow the player without the caps. I think that perk (and Lady Killer) are very little used in game to incentive players to take it (the only major use in vanilla is with Mr. Burke), and if the perk can be used to recruit a follower in early game (very useful for low-level players) that would make more sense.

 

Also, when recruiting Jericho regardless of the way (1000 caps or Black Widow), if the player havent visited Springvale school yet, Jericho could mention that place to the player (if there is enough lines in vanilla to make him speak such thing). That would place a map marker on the school and player could visit the place with him to level up.
