Mundus - A Standing Stone Overhaul 

Mundus is a complete overhaul of Skyrim’s Standing Stones designed to balance the game’s stone bonuses and add powerful new gameplay options. Greater Powers have been removed in favor of passive abilities that will define and support various builds. The more powerful stones often have downsides, in order to give players a choice between building around these downsides in exchange for powerful buffs, or avoiding these downsides in exchange for more modest buffs. Additionally, Guardian Stones no longer provide experience bonuses, which often encouraged players not to trade them out for more interesting gameplay bonuses. 

Mundus is designed to complement my mod Aetherius - A Race Overhaul, but it does not require it. 

The Standing Stones

The Apprentice Stone 

Elfborn: Your Magicka regenerates twice as fast, but your Magic Resistance is reduced by 25%.

The Atronach Stone 

Sorcerer’s Oath: Your Magicka is increased by 100, and you have a 25% chance to absorb the Magicka from incoming spells. However, you cannot regenerate Magicka in combat.

The Lady Stone

Lady’s Grace: Your Health, Magicka and Stamina are increased by 25. When you fall below half Health, Magicka, or Stamina, you gain 50% extra Health, Magicka, or Stamina Regeneration.

The Lord Stone

Blood of the North: Your Health Regeneration is increased by 100%, and your Magic Resistance is increased by 25%.  


The Lover Stone 

Lover’s Touch: Your Stamina regenerates twice as fast, but you take 25% extra damage while power attacking, drawing a bow, or casting a spell. 


The Mage Stone 

Path of Wisdom: Your Magicka is increased by 50, and your spells and enchantments cost 10% less.

The Ritual Stone 

Mother’s Sorrow: You can summon or reanimate one additional minion, but your summoning and reanimation spells last half as long. 


The Serpent Stone

Serpent’s Kiss: Your Poison Resistance is increased by 50%, your potions last 50% longer, and your poisons last for 50% more hits. 


The Shadow Stone

Moonshadow:
You are 25% harder to detect while sneaking, and you deal 25% extra damage with sneak attacks and spells. 


The Steed Stone 

Charioteer: You no longer spend Stamina when sprinting out of combat, and your Carry Weight is increased by 100. 


The Thief Stone 

Cheater’s Luck: Your Stamina is increased by 50, you move 10% faster, and you take 50% less damage from falling.


The Tower Stone 

Warden’s Wall: Your Armor Rating is increased by 100, and you reflect 100% of incoming melee damage back at your attacker.  

The Warrior Stone 

Warborn: Your Health is increased by 50, and blocking and bashing are 25% more effective. 

Notes

  • The Apprentice Stone modifies Base Magicka Regeneration, meaning that it makes all sources of Fortify Magicka Regeneration twice as strong.
  • The Lady Stone's bonuses to Health, Magicka, and Stamina Regeneration when below 50% Health, Magicka, or Stamina operate independently; falling below 50% Health increases your Health Regeneration, but not your Magicka and Stamina Regeneration, by 50%.
  • The Lover Stone modifies Base Stamina Regeneration, meaning that it makes all sources of Fortify Stamina Regeneration twice as strong.
  • The Serpent Stone's bonus to Potion Duration stacks additively with other (non-perk) sources of Potion Duration in Simonrim, if Thaumaturgy is installed.
  • The Shadow Stone's bonus to Sneak Attack Damage stacks additively with other (non-perk) sources of Sneak Attack Damage in Simonrim, if Thaumaturgy is installed.
  • The Tower Stone's Reflect Damage effect does not protect you from incoming damage. Additionally, Blade and Blunt's incoming and outgoing difficulty modifiers significantly reduce the effectiveness of Reflect Damage, which is why its potency is set to 100%.
  • The Warrior Stone's bonus to Block stacks additively with other (non-perk) sources of Fortify Block in Simonrim, if Thaumaturgy is installed.

Compatibility 

Mundus is lightweight and compatible, and will not interfere with any mod (except for other Standing Stone mods). It includes a copy of the PlayerSleepQuestScript, which is required to allow you to gain the Rested bonus with the Lover Stone. Relevant USSEP edits have been forwarded.
