[QUOTE="The Souljourner, post: 1565791, member: 1622"] Yes, actually, it is. In the table for DCs in the SRD under "Swim Skill" : Stormy water 20 (superscript)1 1 You can’t take 10 on a Swim check in stormy water, even if you aren’t otherwise being threatened or distracted. There is a blanket rule that says you can always take 10 unless distracted or threatened, and the only exception stated in the swim skill is in stormy water. Yeah, and as for light armor being death... it really doesn't seem to be. A totally untrained swimmer with strength 10 can fall into calm water in a chain shirt and tread water long enough to remove it, and then can swim to shore. Doesn't seem deadly at all. Someone with strength 12 and rudimentary training (4 ranks) would even be ok in choppy water. Heck, I was on the swim team in highschool, and I think I'd have trouble with 25 pounds of metal in choppy water (maybe even calm water). -The Souljourner [/QUOTE]
