I use them all the time on NPCs, purely for vfx properties... so I voted 3. Not that it matters at this point, considering the voting results so far.

Not too hard to make a VFX wand that will light up your NPCs if that's all you want.

The Petrification spell will still make them stony -- if you want statues...

I'm sure you know this (I'm repeating it for the people who don't) but you can place VFX on NPCs or objects by using the command "dm_visualeffect ## dd". Where ## is the VFX number, and dd is the duration in seconds. If you leave the duration field blank, the effect is permanent (assuming that effect can be given a duration at all, ie not a fireball).

More difficult if you don't know the numbers offhand, of course.

How much skin are people showing, whether it's stoned, barked or whatever? If I am stoneskinned, why is my cloak stoned too? I've heard of contact highs but that's stretching a pun too far!

I voted for #1 and say put SS and BS out of our misery.
