A Roleplayer's Start

Allowing newly created characters to choose the standing stone of their birth and the sacred they have followed throughout their lives.

The Beginning of a Role Player

Overview

Lightweight compatible mod that allows you to select standing stones and hallows when creating your character. This is similar to players choosing their birth sign in previous Elder Scrolls games. Unlike those games, you can still discover other standing stones and change your active stone.

Any newly created character (as well as existing characters) will learn 2 new spells, which will be removed when choosing Standing Stone/Holy:

Tsuneishi choice: You can choose any of the 13 Tsuneishi types, or choose not to be born under any Tsuneishi zodiac sign. In both cases, the spell is removed. It has no effect on characters who have already chosen the Standing Stone.

Divine Choice (optional): You can choose to accept the blessings of any of the nine gods, or reject them if you wish to play a reverent and worshipful character. After making your choice, the spell will be removed.

Install
