[QUOTE="Kunimatyu, post: 2244866, member: 22057"] Stay AWAY from underwater combat, at least per the RAW. Nothing ups the difficulty of a combat like adding another dimension to it, especially one that every participant is using, unlike a lot of flying combats. If you still want to have fights versus underwater monsters(and you do), fighting in waist-deep water(the surf zone, shallow underwater caverns, etc) is ideal -- your players still have new penalties and new tactics to deal with, but the painful numbers factor is mitigated somewhat. Another decent way to handle underwater combat somewhat effectively is to have your [I]water breathing[/I]-type spells require the players to walk on the bottom instead of swimming. I'd definitely recommend sticking with ship/abovewater "sea-based" combat as much as possible, with the other stuff worked in occasionally. Besides, sea monster fights are more fun when the players are on a ship desperately trying to avoid being knocked into the water/certain death. [/QUOTE]
