How would one describe the glow Icly? Would it be something like a large amount of the character's Ki coming out or demonstrating how angry they really are? I've been asked that a couple of times and never had an answer. |

Not every VFX has to be interpreted literally, in my opinion. It could simply be a visual cue to remind people that a barbarian is raging, because pulsing veins and twitching muscles can't be animated on our pixelated little dudes. |

The glow is mainly OoC from what I've experienced. I imagine it's mainly to alert you to other IC visual ques. If someone is in a Barbaric rage, it'd be pretty noticeable. They can't concentrate to use items, they can't focus to do any tasks other than beat something to a bloody pulp, they enter an emotional, psychosomatic state of mind where arrows through flesh are but a nuisance, the laws of the humanoid body cease to apply, and the blood of their enemies serves as the lubrication and fuel for these engines of death and destruction... They likely would not look like they just got done sipping tea. |

Is it possible to script the VFX to something unique, by the way? I don't know a poo about scripting, but logic says it's agogo. |

Do you mean that you'd have to make a new rage tool only to change the VFX? And I was talking of a DC request, naturally. |

If you DC request a widget to emulate a rage or what have you, I'm pretty sure you can get the VFX change to anything you want(within reason), just like any custom widget. |

We have a separate set of DC item scripts to make it easy to keep track of them. Makes for a messy module to add this and that for individual players to the common scripts. So, if you'd like a custom rage VFX it's a normal scripted DC request. And probably means a full new rage widget. |

Sounds awesome, nonetheless. Wonder why people haven't requested these yet. |

I'd probably just request a custom rage and vfx. |

I had a nice idea for a costum rage for my barbarian. Just never had the DC's to spare for that character. |
