from my post...
http://boards.gamefa...&topic=27112183*** this will level your character ONLY if its one of your main abilities ***ok.. this is pretty impressive... and only relates to sneak ability and of course leveling up your character as a "side effect" of this glitch.
there are multiple ways to get these "side kicks" or apprentices in the game, mine is an "adoring fan" from winning the arena battles completely (grand champion)
anyways, you win the arena battles and he asks "can i follow you around" or something to that effect... says "yes!"
now that hes following you, since you are at the arena entrance if you are using the one i used, have him follow you into the corner of the pond in front of the arena entrance, where no one can see....
duck down in sneak mode, hit "A" button to steal from him, and whats the great thing?
"Pfft. Take it. Its worthless to me anyways"
he doesnt care!!!! do it over and over infinite times to get your sneak as high as youd like...
as a result you will also level up, but monsters level at the same rate as you so it wont or shouldnt have any ill effects on the difficulty of the game.
*** alternate way, if you have a house, just take him there and do it ***
enjoy!
