Okay, I've been playing for a while now, but never really got to the point where any of my characters drowned. I dunno whether it's instantaneous, or if you get messages... Would someone care to enlighten me?  |

You actually drown REALLY quickly. You'll fall unconscious in under 30 seconds and definitely be dead in under a minute. I think it's more like 15 and 30, but at any rate if you're not dead in a minute something funky is going on. Messages are: "you start holding your breath" "YOU ARE RUNNING OUT OF AIR" "You fall unconscious from lack of air" "You have been killed!"  |

1: I think it is CON related. Correct me if I am wrong. 2: Go drown and see for yourself, you heavy little...  |

I think he was talking more about drowning while swimming on the surface, not underwater. IE - loss of PE due to swimming and getting stuck in the middle of the ocean.  |

From what I've seen (I've never actually drowned before) Adder is correct. If your question relates to what Baraka mentioned, you willl never drown do to a loss of PE (This I have actually done, and unless it got changed recently, you can swim in the middle of the ocean and never drown unless you decide to go underwater.) sleeper  |

well, you cna take damage if you fail a swim from getting a mouthful of water. I think if you are out of PE in a moving river you might also take some hp damage as it tries to move you. Not too sure, maybe you just dont move.  |

You move alright. The river sends you downstream. Swim out of the river to the shore before you are washed away and lost in the wilderness.  |

True, but you cannot swim without PE. Thus you cant exit the river, when it washes you to a nwe room, it also takes PE.  |

Only someone with no other options should try to cross a river without sufficient PE to start with.  |
