The Standing Stone decision defines the character.
Your Birthsign will be the most important and defining part of your character.
You will start at level 1 with 0 in all skill trees, but you may visit a Standing Stone to get a one-time buff that matches your character's Birthsign.
Some major professions and skill trees will be gated behind these Birthsign Major and Minor Skill Level grants.
XP distribution is massively decreased, and truly advancing in specific skill trees will require a lifetime of work and specialization.
Choose your Standing Stone wisely because these Birthsign buffs are significant and re-specialization would equal a major life-changing decision.
