When our group meets this sunday they are going to find out the missing cleric they were looking fro has been kidnapped (and his sorpse soaked in brine) by a Green hag and her goblin accomplices.
These evil doers are hold up in an ancient ruined bathouse deep in a murky swamp.
The goblins mainly stay outisde the crumbling structure and act as errand boys and guards. The Green hag (Madam Rhetch to you), however makes her tidy home in the basement level of hwat used to be the huge raised floor where the ancient builders lit thier massive fires to heat the baths.
The problem I'm having is the hags lair is filled to chest on a mdeium sized creature with brakish swamp water.
I cannot find any rules governing wading and fighting through water.
I'm thinking of imposing the following situational modifiers;
1) Movement is reduced to half for all medium sized creatures with dexterity bonuses (to AC & Init) also reduced too half.
2) Anything submerged will get full cover (the water is bascially black) and a +10 too a hide check.
3) Small creatures will have too swim.
4) large creatues will only suffer 1/4 the above penalites.
Does this sound about right? Am I way off basse? Have I missed soemthing in the rules?
Advice greatly desired.
