'''Dice Pool:''' [Stamina + Athletics]

'''Discussion:''' Assuming your character can swim at all (being able to do so requires
one dot of Athletics), long-distance or long-duration swimming requires successful swimming rolls versus a
difficulty determined by water conditions. After all, although vampires can’t drown, they are corpses and
thus have little buoyancy. The first roll is necessary only after the first hour of sustained activity, and only
one success is needed. If a roll fails, the character loses ground — perhaps pulled out of her way by a current.
If a roll botches, she starts to sink, or might even be hit by a heedless motorboat.

Vampires caught in shallow water during the day will
take damage from sunlight (assume that a submerged
vampire has protection equivalent to being under
cloud cover).
