Description

Drowning happens when a player reaches zero stamina while swimming (on water tiles).

Notes

  • Drowning will incur a stacking light wound at random intervals (20-50 sec) on the player's stomach while they continue to swim with zero stamina.
  • Drowning damage is only incurred while the player is moving; standing still in water does not cause drowning wounds or stamina loss.
  • Drowning wounds are listed as water damage and are untreatable, but they always disappear after a few minutes out of the water (approximately 10 minutes while logged in), regardless of wound severity. Note that drowning wounds do not heal while in the water, and bad/severe wounds will get worse over time if you are stuck in the water.
  • Last Gasp and/or the consumption of stamina-generating foods can provide some temporary stamina relief and assist in imminent drowning emergencies. Another player positioning a ship near the drowning player and setting its permissions to allow for embarking by that drowning player is yet another option in drowning emergencies.
