W-wouldn't that also be a bit too over powered? Sylvia would become too well rounded then wouldn't she? She could have the Follower make up her stat detriments in Might and Vitality.

It wouldn't be overpowered. Your follower is one character (that levels up a bit more slowly as all Henchmen do) and your chara is another. Your chara can still be killed seperate of your follower and there may even be instances where you get separated.
