Overview
Forcibly overrides an actor value to an exact figure, ignoring buffs, enchantments and other modifiers that would normally adjust it. It is more aggressive than setav and is generally used as a last resort to repair a stat that other commands cannot fix. Be cautious, as it can leave the value disconnected from the systems that should manage it.
