I have a suggestion: change the messages you get to warn you of impending drowning to a different colour. One of my characters just died from drowning in the middle of combat -- there was so much combat spam in the same or similar colours that I never noticed the warnings! If they got turned into that nice dark red you received the worst Withering warnings in, and possibly caps when you got to zero rounds left, it might help. Or maybe a loud purple or something?
Perhaps they could pop up over your head like other status alerts delivered in combat?
Floating text Would be a brilliant Idea, yeah.
Almost drowned myself for the same reason. Hard to keep an eye on it in the middle of combat.
They should be red colored now. We'll see about floaty text.
Thanks immensely, Howl! :)
Let's go with floaty text for the fancy floaters.
It works! Quite visible and easy to read. Thanks! :)
