Is there a mod that...

Allows you to recruit NPC's before you should be able to?

For example, I want to do a run with some NPC's you can't get until Cloakwood or BG. But I like to do almost the entire game with one party.

I'd like to get Alora and Skie into my party, but I want to do it before chapter five or whichever one you need to get into BG.
