[QUOTE="Scharlata, post: 2827534, member: 4806"] Hold! Stop! Come to rest! Easy! Relax! Clear your mind! Free your soul! Let it come slowly to you, like a gentle wave! :D I2K and me are talking about the discrepancy that arose due to various printings of the Player's Handbook. My old PHB 3.5 (July 2003) does NOT mention in the description of Holding Breath (see the Swim skill) that someone can hold his/her breath twice - just ONCE - his/her Constitution in rounds. Understood? :D OK! Proceed! :D Now, you seem to own a newer printing of the same Player's Handbook. Your Swim skill description does mention that someone can hold his/her breath for TWICE his/her Constitution in rounds. Got it? ;) Well... :) Then, there are various sources like the SRDs (plural), the DMG, Stormwrack, and Third Party Stuff that mention holding breath. Those texts differ from one another regarding the duration of holding breath. There lies the discrepancy. Take a deep breath :lol: So, that does not interfere with your position of pointing out that the duration (should it be CON x1, or CON x2) is shortened by 1 round for every full-round or standard action you take. D'accord? Very kind regards [/QUOTE]
