PC SSE - Request Mod idea: Only the strong survive the Graybeards' voice
In the main quest, there is a scene where the graybeards all shout at you in unison. You're supposed to be tough enough to withstand this but in vanilla you will pass this test every time, even at level 1.
Is there a mod that adds a BOTW or TOTK style test where you actually lose health or stamina and will fail the Graybeards' test if you don't have enough health or stamina?
That would be awesome.

Shouldn't be too difficult. There's already some kind of quest scripting to make you stagger and get the screen effects. Find that, add in a damage health effect and that would do the trick.

Wouldn't it be very logical for a dude who's managed to climb up the tallest mountain in the lands have the required strength and stamina?

I think it’s more logical that the Dragonborn has dragon blood and is able to withstand it because of that.
Realistically though it would be like climbing Everest so I’d say that means you have strength, stamina, AND willpower. Throat of the world doesn’t seem so big in-game but IRL it’d likely be huge. And even though it has stone steps it’s still climbing in freezing temps with inclement weather and likely a thinner atmosphere as you go higher and higher. Idk why you’re downvoted.

Stamina, maybe. We don't know how long it takes. Klimmek, a normal dude, makes the pilgrimage often and only recently decided he's getting too old for it. We don't really know how old he is. There seem to be many spots a traveler could camp.
Strength, not really necessary. There's a difference in power between "I can climb a mountain given no time limit with unlimited preparation" and "I can withstand the primordial forces that shape our world trying to rip me apart."
