Hi, I have a couple of questions on the mechanics of some of the custom appearece based request types and their use of VFX effects.

In particular, VFX Widget, Summon Reskin and Skinchanger Widget.

VFX Widget:
Q. How long is the duration of the the applied VFX_DUR effect?
Q. Is the duration changeable?
Q. Does the VFX effect stack? For example, applying the Dirge aura effect on a target using all 3 widget charges to increase the amount of auras on the target (as is possible when casting Dirge multiple times).

Summon Reskin:
Q. Does the applied VFX of the summon reskin follow the duration rules of the VFX widget?

Skinchanger Widget:
Q. Is a Skinchanger the usual method to obtain Wild Shape appearence reskins, or is it usual to seek out a custom shape request instead?
Q. Can a VFX effect be applied to the target of the Skinchanger Widget in addition to the change of its appearance. For example when using the Skinchanger widget, my PC becomes a gnome with a "permanent" freedom of movement visual effect.

Other:
Q. Can a custom wildshape/shifter shape appearance have a "permanent" VFX applied to it?


Thanks

A. Permanent.
A. No.
A. No. Using it again on the same target removes the VFX. However, if you want the same VFX to be applied more than once at the same time, that's doable - the Visualiser holds up to 3 permanent visuals and 3 instant visuals.

A. Both the usual and encouraged way. Custom shapes are expensive and time-consuming due to the extra creation work and balancing that goes into their creation. They're also usually considered custom scripting.
A. Yes. Same rules as the Visualiser. It does custom sound effects, too.
