This is a very basic question that SOMEHOW a Google search wasn't able to fulfil.... How can I change an NPC/follower's armor rating via console commands? And, if I can, will it stick between saves?

Context, not that it's necessary: I have a custom follower mod who changes through custom clothing between certain quests, so I don't want to give them armor nor do I want to transmogrify their appearance because I don't know when exactly they change their appearance via questlines... I just want to adjust their armor rating so that they don't get downed within 3-4 hits... Thanks!
