Swimming Speed

Land-dwellers such as humans
have water Move equal to Basic
Move/5 (round down), although it is
possible to modify this slightly; see
Move in Other Environments (p. 18).
Minimum water Move for such char-
acters is 1 yard/second.
Amphibious and Aquatic beings
have water Move equal to their full
Basic Move.
When swimming long distances,
use a 10-second time scale. The num-
ber of yards you can swim in 10 sec-
onds is equal to 10 times your water
Move,
modified
downward
for
encumbrance (see Encumbrance and
Move, p. 17). For instance, water Move
1 and Heavy encumbrance would let
you swim four yards in 10 seconds.
