📋 About This Mod
Set of four new talents for Shale, focused on defense. New talents are as follows: Stone Resistance (Passive): How can magic harm the one who is made of rock? After learning this talent, Shale gets a permanent and static bonus of 15% to magic resistance. Stone Endurance (Passive): Being made of stone, Shale gains bonuses to fire and frost resistance. These bonuses are cumulative with any crystals that Shale might have equipped. Stone Strength (Passive): Shale\'s stone composition is strengthened further, giving a permanent bonus to armor. Stone Might (Sustained): Upon activating Stone Might, Shale gets bonuses to physical and nature resistance. These bonuses will increase with each level.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid endorsement count (1,487) shows players appreciate the extra defensive options.
- Focused design—just four talents, so it's easy to understand and integrate.
- Been around since 2010, so it's battle-tested with the original game.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2010—might conflict with modern mods or the Ultimate Edition.
- Only four talents—if you want a broader overhaul, this won't cut it.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who want to make Shale a sturdier tank without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for major gameplay changes or if you're playing with a heavily modded setup that might conflict.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in your Dragon Age: Origins 'override' folder (Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override) to ensure they load correctly.
- If you're using the Steam or GOG version, verify the mod works with your game version—since it's old, test it early to avoid mid-playthrough surprises.
- Check the mod's readme (if any) for specific talent IDs or how to assign them via console if they don't appear automatically.
