underwater

where are the rules for underwater combat?

It's in the DMG.

IIRC, fire spells take a -2 to hit (maybe to damage, can't quite remember), and a few weapon types have similar penalties.

This is off the top of my head so it could be wrong but I know for sure its in the DMG.

DMG p45

Not particularly realistic tho...

thanks dudes;

I see I should have been looking for "aquatic" not "underwater"...

and yeah the rules are pretty crappy.

I like the currents, and the mandatory swimming, but -2 to hit seems dumb.

Anyone create a better effect?

Personally I use the ones in the KotS Orcus Conversion by Myrhdraak.
