I have a recommendation if your still reading these posts, you should add a spell that lets you become an earth atronach for a limited time and can be used once a day like a werewolf, but with more armor and defense rating.
An actual transformation would be considerably more complex than anything this mod does, and quite possibly beyond my skill to make. A power to give you an atronach's abilities, and a visual effect to go with it, would be easy enough though, and I've been considering adding something like that to the D.E.R.P.
What kind of variations do you have in mind? I wasn't planning on adding any but I'm always open to suggestions. A giant version would be easily doable, I might add that as an optional upload.
I'll add a midget and a giant version in the coming days. As for golems, that sounds like a good idea for a different mod, but I'd like to make those available in a different way rather than just being summoned. I'll have to think about how to do that.
Just another idea! Atronachs made of different 'rocks' like sapphire or diamond! The more valuable the atronach, the more aggro it should draw from greedy bandits lol. Also Diamond Atronachs could be tougher to bring down.
Thank you for writing a decent description. Also for making it more than just a retex. There are a couple of others that don't. I can't tell from the pic, and I haven't popped the .esp yet, but I would recommend dropping the size on your atronachs just a smidge, as the frost one especially tends to get stuck indoors.
I made the Rock Atronach slightly smaller than the Frost one. Not a huge difference, and it's likely the Rock Atronach will still have problems in narrow spaces. I may reduce its size further if it looks like the mod needs an update. Thanks for the suggestion

Any chance you're working on variations? I'd love to see more earth magic! A huge version of the rock atronach would be killer!
Perhaps a Metal Golem that has weapons, or a Wood Golem that can summon it's own spriggans! Even just metal or wood retextures could be neat!
Can't wait for the giant version! Endorsed!
