you really think the most foppish character wouldn't bathe to a nearly absurd amount if given the chance?

Astarism lol. I feel like showering is an infrequent thing. The sand, sweat, and sexual juices stay on them for a long while.

im sure he does, honestly none of the characters show any real inclination that they wouldn't if given the chance, but astarion feels like he'd take the cake with a very specific beauty routine.

Why Laezel wouldn't shower ? Since she's a military type character, she's supposed to keep a good hygiene, smelling bad and being a risk of developing bacteria doesn't yield any advantages in combat situation.

I would say she won't use any perfume, while Astarion must smell like a flowerist's shop, because he doesn't care about others.

Yeah laz’zel said I stay sweaty and she likes my stanky ass

Astarion wouldn't because he used to as a thrall to lure in prey. Now he's playing a rebellious teen who can do whatever he wants

Now Wyll? Wyll absolutely does

Just to point out, while Faerun has a lot of steampunk level technology, I never saw evidence of indoor plumbing. Ergo, no flush toilets, sinks, or showers. Earth societies didn't get that tech until the 19th century.

Granted, the city has sewers, so don't stop to think too long on what you're slushing through down there.

Of course, even 2000 years ago, people would - sometimes - bathe. The Romans did. Either in tubs, or just in a nearby river.

I think they all do, but Shadowheart could use a razor a bit more... ;)

They don't. Gale makes a comment on how no one's had a show in a tenday or something at some point

They all do. I can't remember exactly but I clearly recall Neil Newbon, the A.'s voice actor, mentioning A. would smell in a particular way. And it was not bad. I think it was bergamot and rosmary but I can't remember exactly.

I believe all keep decent hygiene (whether they use magic or water is up to speculation; the camp is almost often near water). Karlach is a bit in a sad situation as all of her starting equipment and clothes is soaked by the smell of the Hells (sulphur and smoke).

I even think that Withers has so decayed that there is not much unpleasant smell left. Probably the only smelly one is Connor Vinderblad. He can be summoned in camp but... there are mitigating circumstances with him so I can't blame him for bad hygiene.

Valid point. Faerun doesn't appear to have indoor plumbing, but it's fairly easy to cast magic that can douse you with a rainstorm. That's a shower, I guess.

You definitely can, in-game, use soap and water to remove all that blood that covers your face and body after combat.

Prestidigitation; free, easy, all wizards cant go without it, can clean an object, between that and bathing wizards probably have fairly easy time with it

I imagine Lae’zel does some sort of dust bathing but that's just me.

With amphibian traits, that would be unusual.
