What do you think of making this a poll question?   
Just to bring in once again the famous CDG (Calishite Dancing Girls- we should immortalize them in the Abbreviations Topic in the Front) of course, so that the Head Broom Brandisher notices from the stunning voting that the fund assets are needed to hire a hole bunch more of this wholesomely relaxation troop. 
Just to remember the frustrating answer of Alaundo to one of the Master Scribes:

Alas, there's simply not enough to go around, Jorkens. Give one person one and they'll all want one. Best I just keep the lot

So let’s have this demonstration of all the lowly scribes here, who would have to wait for eternity to get the scent of one of them CDG’s:
We want some weekly and public performance in the main hall! (at least)
P.S. Just for the peace in the halls, oh mighty master of the golden purse: maybe you could hire one or two CDB’s too – Calishite Dancing Boys

Now, that´s very bad! I forgot to mention Phyrea!!! (The Watercourse Trilogy).
Phyrea´s dialogue with Willem (Lies of Light, p. 24/25) is one of those amazing "little moments" in the books that don´t go away of my mind. |

So, a wide brimmed hat with a a big feather and a vest with no shirt on under it might work for some guys?
Somehow I don't think that I could pull off that look myself. |

No need to say sorry for disagreeing. It happens. And well, she came off as a nice person, which I tend to find pretty hot. Plus, there's something about a woman in uniform

As for who's not hot? DEFINITELY that fat piece of lard in Champions of Ruin (Aumvor the Undying, I think). Makes me want to vomit. Definitely not hot!.
I'd say that goes for most undead. I know some people have a thing for vampires, but to me... |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

Who's hot?
- Azar
- Sharlarra
- Halisstra, Faeryl... hell, all the drow ladies from WotSQ
- Viconia (BG2)
Who's not?
- Liriel (I just never got into her, and with the exception of the Windwalker cover I didn't care for her appearance.
- Tu'ala'keth (Queen of the Depths). Got on my nerves like you couldn't imagine.
Those are what come to mind. Yes, I never cared for Liriel. (Though I loved the trilogy.) |

Bronwyn. SHe tries to be good...but she still a bit bad.
Now she is hot!
She's working on Book 6 of Song and Swords called Reclamation (I believe) which she says will tie up loose ends from Thornhold, so I can only assume Bronwym is coming back. |
When hinges creak in doorless chambers and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls, whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight. |

Red, in case you haven't read it already, I'll note that Bronwyn received a few brief updates in the "The Knights of Samular" tale included in Elaine's Best of the Realms, Vol. III compilation.

Seriously, what is up with Elminster getting all the hot women? Every novel I read he's cuddled up to someone new. Isn't he like 500 years old? Power isn't everything (and I just get weirded out when old men giggle). |
Anyone who likes to read something that's really dark and gritty and completely awesome ought to read The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. You can check out a little taste at www.BrentWeeks.com I should probably warn you, though, that it is definitely not PG-13 :-D
He also started a new Trilogy with Black Prism, which may even surpass the Night Angel Trilogy in its awesomeness.

No, my friend, In no way! It´s only... well... one of my choices.
I don´t know exactly where Phyrea hooked me. Maybe is the fact that Phyrea´s ruthless remember me of my wife.  (yes, I know... go understand the love... ).
I find Phyrea´s personality interesting, too. IMO, she take some steps ahead of the "common stereotype strong feminine character" that we see in some novels (note the word: some. She´s stay much steps behind of others, like Liriel, Storm, Ususi, and others that I don´t remember right now).
P.S.: actually, my wife is playing with a elven half-fey warlock named... err... Phyrea Traelith. Phyrea, because she like of the character, too; and Traelith, as a homage to Eytan Bernstein good job in the Realms. She is daughter of Pherix Traelith, Eytan´s warlock (yes, we do a good brainstorm to create the background of her.

Who's Hot and Who's not in the Realms
