My question is simply this: Can vampires cross and be unharmed by immersion in lakes and oceans? I'm not referring to vampires from literature, but vampires simply as written by the RAW for D&D.
Under the vampire it states the following:
"Vampires are also unable to cross running water, although they can be carried over it while resting in their coffins or aboard a ship."
"Similarly, immersing a vampire in running water robs it of one-third of its hit points each round until it is destroyed at the end of the third round of immersion."
In the Aquatic Terrain section of the SRD it states the following:
"Accordingly, these rules simply divide aquatic terrain into two categories: flowing water (such as streams and rivers) and nonflowing water (such as lakes and oceans)."
So does flowing water=running water or are they two different definitions that sometimes overlap? Thanks guys!
