Post by: Zaphod on June 06, 2011, 04:17:01 am
If ther eis a river with no up/down slopes on the sides and I jump into it (with 2 points in swimming) will I be able to climb out on the other side?

Almost every time I jumped into a river with no slopes, I drowned. Well, there was that one time when I did get out, but that's an exception. Even having Adequate Swimmer didn't help. The only way I cross rivers is by Traveling across it, then > back into the walking mode.

It worked out just fine. To bad I gave into starvation.

Are you carefully moving to the open air above the water (upon which you suffer a fall) or are you carefully moving down into the water?

The walking into open air will leave you stunned on the bottom of the river, and, if you're really unlucky and unarmored, hurt you a little.

Where as Alt-moving to the lower level till is kinda like lowering yourself into the water when it comes to rivers, however if it's a murky pit even alt moving to get out doesn't work.
