Underwater Rules

[cats_claw]

Hey all -- another newbie list question:

Where can I get some good underwater rules that take into consideration combat, spells, missle weapon ranges, elemental effects (acid, sonic, fire, lightning, etc.)?

Go to my site (see my signature) and look for item 31 - underwater rules. That's got most of what you want.

This is good...

What about other elemental or spell effects? Like lightning, sonic, air/wind, etc... Anyone have anything on this?

I *think* there are some in the Manual of Planes. I tend to extrapolate from some 2nd Edition sources on this (and haven't been wrong yet - thank you Sage for your recent fly spell underwater ruling that was a HUGE argument 2 summers ago ), and I think a 3rd party publisher put out some rules.

The rules published by WOTC are on p. 5 of the web enhancement here: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/we/we20010713b

You may find them fairly stripped-down. There are no modifiers for for different energy types, for example (other than fire, which is more-or-less banned underwater).

They were also printed in Dragon magazine and are still available in print in the Book of Challenges.
