Dive

From Wormhole Sci-Fi MUD Homepage

Experimental feature

A roll against dive skill is made any time you attempt to enter an 'under water' room. (As a general rule, if there's a 'down' direction from the surface of a body of water, it will put you in an 'under water' location.

If you fail the dive skill roll, you panic and you suffer some injury - and fail to move. Be warned: repeatedly trying to dive, without healing, will eventually kill you. In addition to having this advanced swimming skill, you need to be able to breathe: use the 'water breath' psi power, or wear some underwater breathing apparatus that confers an ability to breathe under water.

(Space suits should probably also work under water. Please report a bug if they don't. Developers: SCUBA type items should have the AFF_WATERBREATH flag, and space suits should be AFF_SPACEOK and AFF_WATERBREATH.)
