In fact, they are never, as they never say they wash themselves. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Anyway, if they would, they would wash while fully clothed. Under a burqa, preferably. And they are created adult, since they're characters rather than persons, so they aren't born. But if they were to birth, they would birth fully clothed. Nudity is evil. Beside, human beings are already ugly enough when clothed, when naked it's worse. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Nah, actually, I don't care. I don't usually force PCs to become naked, but it may happen (like when one got roasted by a red dragon's breath... Don't see why the clothings would have survived... Of course one may argue that the corpses wasn't really nude, since it was still wrapped with flames...). In campaigns where I play, that has also happened several times. One during a cleansing ritual to get rid of mummy rot, my PC had to walk into a magical purifying fire. Later was captured by Hated Villain #3, who thought prisoners were less dangerous when naked, crucified, and immersed in sea water, trailing behind the boat. Another character, after dying, victim of a natural 1 on a slay living trap, was revived through reincarnation. The spell creates a new young adult body of a random race, but don't really create clothing to go with it.Sex ? No problems. It seldom occurs, actually, but I don't care really. It may even be graphic, if needs be, such as explaining why the character don't risk getting pregnant despite an active sexuality, as long as it's not pornographic.Torture ? It happens. Rape ? Same thing. Beastiality ? Ditto. Child molestation ? Again. D&D is full of "always evil" and "usually evil" creatures, while humans are dubbed "usually neutral", animals and vermins are "always neutral", and we have no sentient plants or rocks. What this mean is that in D&D worlds, there are creatures that are even worse than humans.Any immorality human may conceive would seem just petty to some of these horrible creatures. Now as a DM I may just say "they are wicked icky-bad nasties, it's your duty as the champion of light to thwart their foul plans by breaking into their home and crushing their skulls repeatedly until the walls are red", or I may actually give hints about how they are evil. There was an ogre-mage gourmet that ate the souls as well as the flesh of his victims (and used their memories and inspiration to write play, as he was also a dramaturge, forcing his slaves to perform his plays). There is a decadent aristocracy that just "want to find new way to entertain themselves" and that consider every one else is just cattle or game. There are power-hungry necromancers thinking dead people are easier to administrate than living ones. There are totally sick guys. There are maffias, there are racial suprematist groups, there are serial killers, there are assassin sects, there are lots of awful persons around... And that's just among the humanoids. There are also evil undead, outsiders, magical beasts, dragons...Of course, since my players are both jaded and frustrating (they just can't understand it's better to come before the sun has set), the most awful depiction of the foulest deed ever would only result in:"*yawn* Oh, it's probably horrible. One day, we should deal with these dudes. *yawn* What was happening, anyway ? 'Scuse me, I'll go make some tea. *yawn* What about we stop there ? I'm tired. ZZZzzzzz..."Anything result in that.</blockquote>
