Swimming

[link href="http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/skills/swim.html#_swim"]PCB Swim Skill[/link]

Roll a Swim check once per round while you are in the water. Success means you may swim at up to half your speed (as a full-round action) or at a quarter of your speed (as a move action). If you fail by 4 or less, you make no progress. If you fail by 5 or more, you go underwater.

A character with Swim speeds can swim, hustle, or 'run' per normal rules.

Alternately, the PC can be towed by another person using the Encumbrance Rules for Dragging.

Drowning

If a hero doesn't have (or loses ability) to breath underwater) he may hold his breath for #rounds = x2CON. After this, the hero makes DC 10 Con +1 per round check in order to continue holding her breath. When a hero fails his Con check, he begins to drown. 1st round, unconscious (0 hp). 2nd round, --1 hit points and is dying. 3rd round, he drowns (dies).

Very Deep deals water pressure damage of 1d6 points per minute for every 100 feet the character is below the surface. A successful Fortitude save (DC 15, +1 for each previous check) means the diver takes no damage in that minute. Descending is a Fort DC15 for one minute, and d6 damage for a failed save. At the Triton Palace, it is Fort DC 16 +1 per minute, and 2d6 damage for each fail. Any form with (acquatic) template is immune to the very deep damage.

Light

  At 0 -- 100 feet, can see100 feet
  At 100 -- 200 feet, can see 40 feet
  At 200 feet, the light is shadowed, can only see 20 feet.
  At 300 feet, it is dark.
  


Cold

Hypothermia. Below 30 feet in the Plactic Ocean, an unprotected character must make a Fort save (DC 15, +1 per previous check) per 10 minutes, taking 1d6 points of nonlethal damage on each failed save.

Any failed save also contracts hypothermia (treat her as fatigued). These penalties end when the character recovers the nonlethal damage she took from the cold and exposure.

Cold and exposure deal nonlethal damage to the victim. This nonlethal damage cannot be recovered until the character gets out of the cold and warms up again. Once a character is rendered unconscious through the accumulation of nonlethal damage, the cold and exposure begins to deal lethal damage at the same rate.
