Overview
Forces your character to a specific level. Note that this only changes the level number and does not award the perk points or attribute increases you would normally earn, so it can leave your build underpowered. To gain those rewards naturally, advskill or player.advlevel are better choices. Useful mainly for testing how the world scales at a given level.
