[QUOTE="shawjames, post: 47092, member: 2305"] Ok, my group just lost their cleric down an underground river. The rest of the group is thinking of letting someone swim downstream (the river goes down into the rock, so whoever goes would have to hold their breath). They are thinking of sending the best swimmer, and breath holder, a dwarven barbarian. The problem I am faced with is, how hard would it be to pull him back UP-stream? The underground river is flowing at 60 feet per round, or about 7 miles per hour. I am thinking of just making the pull weight out to be the swimmer's weight times 7 (mi/hr). Or 195lb dwarf times 7 mi/hr = 1365 drag weight. The rest of the party (Paladin 16str, Rogue 15str, Wizard 12str) have a combined Max Drag Weight of 2800lb. So with my math, they could easily do it. Anyone have a more realistic calculation? Thanks!! [/QUOTE]
