How to change Baldur's Gate 3 party members

How do you change party members in Baldur's Gate 3? There will come a time when the people you're traveling with may not be the best option for a particular fight or do well within the confines of the dungeon you're exploring. Perhaps the mere presence of a certain face will send negotiations spiraling into a blaze of fire, and you wish to avoid combat?
Sadly, it's not as easy to change Baldur's Gate 3 party members here as in other RPG games. In fact, because of its Dungeons & Dragons engine, Baldur's Gate 3 makes a few things a lot harder, including reviving characters and disarming traps. As the Baldur's Gate 3 release date is now much closer, we thought we'd help simplify this process by giving you the steps required to switch your party members.
