How to Swim: Without the Swimming skill, normal swimming speed is 8 yards + your Dexterity. The Swimming skill increases your speed to 12 yards + your Dexterity provided that is your only action during a turn. To swim faster than normal, roll Swimming + Stamina, (difficulty 7). Each success adds three yards to your speed. You may roll every turn until you get no successes, in which case you must maintain or decrease your speed or risk exhaustion. |
