Template:Holding Breath

Holding Breath (Resistance)

Characters can safely hold their breath for (Stamina x 30) seconds, plus an additional 30 seconds per success on a (Stamina + Resistance) roll. The difficulty of this roll is normally 1, but it may increase as high as 3 for swimming in cold water or if the character didn't have a chance to draw a deep breath. Once a character passes the safety limit, she must breathe or she begins asphyxiating, suffering one level of unsoakable bashing damage every 30 seconds. This damage cannot be healed by any means until the character is breathing normally again.
