Bathing Skill

[redstatic]

After 1 real 24-hour day 1 charisma and 1 perception is decreased. The bathing skill also allows you to make bathtubs to wash every day and the bathtubs can be made out of clay, wood, and any common metal. It also allows you to make soap which i think should be made out of 1 beeswax and 2 grapes. i hope this gets added

hmmmmmmm i agree with this

[melzar]

you can agree with your idea all you want it is still bad - try swimming

Needs to be fleshed out more, as it stands a not so great idea IMO...

Also, if you're going to try and respond to agree with your own post you should at least log off your main account and log on to whatever alt one you thought you were using

Actually, soap is made from rendered animal fat and lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide made from boiling down wood ashes) boiled until they emulsify.

The only thing that a mix of grapes and beeswax would make is grape-scented wax.

Didn't Jorb say he was thinking of adding a sauna already?

I don't like the penalties-for-not-bathing, though. Hygiene in medieval times was pretty bad, it makes sense to assume that you get normal stats when you're dirty, and a slight bonus while clean. Yay.
Oh, it'd also tie in well with a wound/disease system.

It should be charisma plus perception and stealth (because of the smell).

Soap recipt is already criticised, so: animal fat (the already requested for cooking) + ash (would have another use then) + water + cauldron = soap).

Bathtubs to clean toons, washing trough to clean clothes (buffing them a bit)?

More grind... but why not?

And maybe 5% debuff per time period, with the ability to bath in river (taking longer, only removes debuff) resulting in dead fish floating in case you have been really dirty? This will lower water q in the area for a time, and also we could.... wait, i better play outside for a while.
