Poll Which Standing Stone (Skyrim) do you choose? (read OP) (38 votes)

The Apprentice 3%
The Atronach 5%
The Lady 5%
The Lord 5%
The Lover 11%
The Mage 16%
The Ritual 0%
The Serpent 5%
The Shadow 3%
The Steed 13%
The Thief 13%
The Tower 5%
The Warrior 16%

You get to choose to activate a single of Skyrim's Standing Stones. You can't switch them like Dragonborn, you have to pick only one and can never again change it. They function as thus:

  • The Apprentice: Increases your intellect dramatically. Decreases your common sense and memory capacity by a proportionate amount.
  • The Atronach: No longer need to eat, drink, or sleep, but you heal more slowly from normal injuries.
  • The Lady: Heal from normal injuries more quickly, get tired less easily.
  • The Lord: Increases your durability to normal injuries and illnesses. Sharpens your learning curve slightly.
  • The Lover: Become almost impossibly charming.
  • The Mage: Increases your academic knowledge and learning curve significantly.
  • The Ritual: Heal minor wounds in yourself and others.
  • The Serpent: You gain a toxic touch, usable once per day, that causes illness in normal humans.
  • The Shadow: Once per day, you can completely fade from sight. This doesn't grant you true invisibility while being observed, but allows you to be ignored and unnoticed.
  • The Steed: Your movement and reaction speed is increased by a factor of 2.
  • The Thief: Your natural grace, agility, and flexibility is increased significantly.
  • The Tower: Gives you a remarkable aptitude with machines.
  • The Warrior: Increases your physical strength and vitality significantly.

In real life the Mage would be insanely good. The practical applications are endless.

@jack_: I tried to update them for real life purposes. I was gonna do it normally but as I was filling them out I was like "...Wait... we don't actually have Magicka and stuff, so... hm..." and tried to modernize them while keeping them balanced.

@joygirl: I actually did mean for the learning curve, even without the magic.

@jack_: *nod* Yup. The learning curve is pretty awesome. But I can still see how someone would want one of the others, I had a hard time picking myself. Lover and Tower in particular are very tempting.

In real life: The Lover. I would become the God of Tits and Wine. But for this I would choose The Thief.

The Atronach - if I don't need sleep, food, or liquids I can accomplish so much.

Plus - groceries are expensive and now I don't need to worry about them any more.

@thetruebarryallen: Good point! Money management would become really easy, and balancing work and downtime would become dramatically less challenging.

The Steed, if everything I do is done twice as fast I can do twice the stuff I normally do, or I could just sleep In everyday.

Amazing. In skyrim I always choose warrior stone, but for real life, and only one chance, I seem to be unable to choose.

I changed them all. I thought "zombie armies" may have been a bit on the OP side compared to the other abilities listed.

That speed is by far the best starting ability.

The encumbrance removal from armour and more room for loot is great for increasing your overall enjoyment over the minor combat advantages.

speed is king
