Standing Stones Abilities in Skyrim refer to the passive abilities that players are granted when they find and activate a Standing Stone in the world. There are 13 Standing Stones in Skyrim, 9 grant the player a passive Standing Stone ABILITY, and 4 provide a Standing Stone POWER which must be activated. Only one of the following passive abilities can be active at a time, unless using the Aetherial Crown. They can be acquired by visiting the desired Standing Stone and activating it. Players will be able to fast travel to standing stone locations after finding them allowing them to swap to the desired standing stone ability with convenience. The standing stones give very powerful abilities to players but there is no one best ability amongst them. Players should try to find and use the standing stone that best fit them with their playstyle.
