Animal Skin Hex - Duration


Rules Questions


So I've got a witch in one of my groups who is interested in the major hex "animal skin", but I'm not 100% sure how it works exactly.

For example, what is the duration of the hex ? Is it 1 min/level like the spell it's based upon (beast shape II), or is it as long as the witch wears the skin of the animal ?

If it is just 1 min/level, what prevents the witch from just "rehexing" it as soon as it ends ? Or are the animal skins consumed during the activation of the hex ? (which would be .. bad, because it would force a witch with that hex to carry around more animal skins, than a furtrader)

Any insight or input would be much appreciated.

There is a duration? Seems like the witch turns into animal until they take off the skin. That's how i read it.

Generally speaking a effect that mimics a spell lasts for the duration of the spell. In this case it would last for min/level. Given there is no limit to its use you could just activate again or even while its ongoing to prevent the duration from ever elapsing, unless you are trying to do what some druids do and sleep in a tree or something while wild shaped.
