HYDROPHOBIA (2947)
Not all races are built properly for swimming and diving. While arials, felar, and dwarves can traverse water on a boat, diving beneath the surface even for a short instant is not possible without aid. Even just attempting to do so can put fear into their minds as they approach the water and try to keep their thoughts away from the terrifying prospect of drowning. With magical aid or seaweed (see PILL), they can dive for brief periods of time, but the experience is traumatizing. See also: BOAT, MORALE, 'WATER BREATHING', 'GILL GROWTH'
