Keeping Afloat
Skill, Common Abilities
Non-swimmers save vs DEX each round in deep water or go under.
From the book
A character who cannot swim may still try to keep his or her head above deep water. Each round the character makes a save vs DEX, which the Game Judge may adjust for how hard the conditions are.
The first failed save means the character goes under, and he or she will drown within 1-4 rounds unless help arrives in time. Characters with the Swimming skill need not worry about this under most ordinary conditions.
