[QUOTE="Jackinthegreen, post: 6190639, member: 6678119"] Considering cleaning something [URL="http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/clean"]by its very definition[/URL] means (among other things) removing unwanted dirt or scents and such, I'd say that Prestidigitation could definitely remove smells from the subject, at least enough to confuse an opponent tracking by scent but perhaps not become entirely invisible to scent unless it had been working for a couple minutes. It could also mask the subject by giving it an entirely different smell. And do keep in mind the magical effect will almost certainly be far more thorough than a typical shower. I don't see how a spell and a shower As far as the whole getting into a lizard's village goes, there are going to be mechanical differences between how one class can handle it versus another and some may not have any ability to do it at all. Is that a problem with the game itself, the situation at hand, or simply the storytelling? Is it wrong that one class might need some help from others while another class could do it entirely solo? Let's just get rid of the minutiae of the lizard situation and boil it down to some certain mechanical facts.
