Message: <blockquote data-quote="Viking Bastard" data-source="post: 5918698" data-attributes="member: 509">I featured a drowning trap in my game a few months back and I handled it like so:Rather than place it under any arbitrary in-fiction time constrains, I timed it by actions: 1 action (be it minor, move or standard) costs 1 surge. Not doing anything for a turn counts as 1 action. Those trained in Endurance get free actions equal to their CON modifier. Once out of the pit, they could do an endurance check to regain 1 surge for every 5 rolled over 10 (a roll of 15 gave 1 surge, 20 gave 2 surges, etc.).Getting out of the trap consisted of swimming to the top, unlocking/smashing their way out, while being under attack by underwater critters who kept dragging them down. It was pretty tense.</blockquote>
