[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 2347555, member: 12037"] No, because I'm not a marine biologist. Very bad house rule? Quote me some text please. I think you're misinterprieting "strict reading" for "house rule." The only thing the spell has to say on movement in water is "The spell also allows the subject to move .. normally while underwater." That's it. Why would a pegasus fall? He can move normally while underwater. His normal movement includes a Fly speed, does it not? An alternate interprietation is that it is redundant text, but I don't buy that one. Allows you to move normally underwater would mean you could swim normally. Okay, while technically accurate it means nothing, since you could already do that. So normal doesn't mean normal with regards to the current environtment unless you think it is redundant. Therefore it must mean normal as referring to your "Climate/Terrain" type, which for a pegasus is some kind of above ground setting. Can a pegasus use its fly speed in its normal above ground setting? Yes. Then it can fly. Can it swim in its normal above ground setting? No. Then it can't swim. Easy peasy. [/QUOTE]
