About this mod

Standing Stone overhaul focusing on distinct and flavorful effects based on excerpts from the Baandari fortune tellers.

Permissions and credits
Changelogs
This mod overhauls all thirteen Standing Stones, using excerpts from the Baandari fortune tellers as inspiration, to create unique and distinct effects that you may find interesting or, at the very least, novel. Each Standing Stone generally receives one flat bonus as well as a conditional bonus, with some exceptions and negative effects for some Stones. The effects are as follows:


Lover Stone

  • Prices are 20% better. Nearby enemies have a small chance of being briefly paralyzed.

Shadow Stone

  • Sneaking while not in combat grants invisibility, draining 1 point of Health per second while invisible. Sneak attacks deal 10% more damage.

Tower Stone

  • Sneaking is 20% more effective. When about to be struck by a weapon, there is a small chance to briefly become ethereal, granting invulnerability and invisibility.

Thief Stone

  • Weapon attacks have a 25% chance of dealing critical damage. Critical hits deal 20% more damage. Pickpocket chance increased by 10%.

Apprentice Stone

  • Spells are 10% more effective per 100 points of current Magicka. Magicka increased by 100.
  • 50% weakness to magic and spells cost 10% more Magicka.

Atronach Stone

  • Attune yourself to an element, Fire, Frost, or Shock
  • Attuned element damage spells deal 20% more damage and cost 25% less Magicka. Gain 25% attuned element damage resistance. Incoming spells have a 10% chance of being absorbed as Magicka.
  • Magicka does not regenerate.

Ritual Stone

  • Healing spells are 25% more effective. While at full Health and in combat, gain 50% increased Magicka regeneration and radiate an aura that heals nearby allies.

Mage Stone

  • Spells cost 20% less Magicka. While wielding a staff, spells are 20% more effective. While not wielding a staff, spells cost an additional 20% less Magicka.

Lady Stone

  • Take 5% less damage and Health, Magicka, and Stamina regenerate 25% faster. This bonus is doubled while under the effects of The Gift of Charity.

Steed Stone

  • Move 20% faster. While standing still, regenerate Stamina 100% faster. While running, regenerate Health 100% faster. While sprinting, regenerate Magicka 100% faster.

Lord Stone

  • Restore 1 point of Health per second. This bonus is doubled while blocking in combat. Blocking is 20% more effective.

Warrior Stone

  • Weapons deal 10% more damage. While under half Health, receive 20% less physical damage and weapons deal an additional 10% more damage.

Serpent Stone

  • Nearby enemies and allies are 20% weaker to magic, have their armor rating reduced by 100, and deal 10% more damage. Absorb 2 points of Health per second from poisoned enemies.


Notes and Clarifications

  • Shadow Stone: The Health drain will not kill you, but will instead halt when Health reaches 1. The invisibility effect will also stop when Health isn’t being drained, until Health regens once again.
  • Shadow Stone: Like regular invisibility, the effect will be halted when you perform an action that typically breaks invisibility. Re-enter sneak mode to re-apply the effect.
  • Shadow Stone: With high enough Health regen, you can negate the Health drain component.
  • Tower Stone: You may attack enemies while ethereal but the effect will fall off when doing so.
  • Apprentice Stone: As described, the spell effectiveness bonus scales off current Magicka, not max Magicka and so will gradually decrease as you cast spells.
  • Apprentice Stone: There is a floor of 10% bonus spell effectiveness even if you fall below 100 Magicka, so you will always have some bonus.
  • Atronach Stone: The attunement selection is made upon activating the Atronach Stone.
  • Atronach Stone: With the Aetherial Crown, it is possible to have two different elemental attunements at the same time by first storing one attunement in the Crown and then activating the Atronach Stone again while the Crown is unequipped.
  • Lord Stone: As described, this effect gives constant Health restoration rather than regeneration, and as such you should always be gaining Health even if Health regen is disabled, such as with Survival Mode.
  • General: This mod edits two vanilla scripts in order for the Atronach attunement system to work the way I desired. They are DLC1LD_AetherialCrownScript and powerShrineScript. Only one custom script is added for the purpose of making sure the ethereal effect from the Tower Stone properly dispels itself.


Compatibility

  • Not compatible with other Standing Stone overhauls. Just choose whichever one you prefer.
  • In order for the Lady Stone to detect when the player has The Gift of Charity buff, this mod edits The Gift of Charity and its effect. To ensure this mod works properly when using other mods that edit the same effect, let this mod load after it. If a consistency patch is absolutely needed, I can probably make one rather quickly.


Feel free to give suggestions on balance if you feel some effects are too strong, weak,  or simply lackluster. I can’t guarantee I will agree but will take feedback into account regardless. Also, please place incompatibility reports and balance suggestions in the posts section and not as bug reports.
