Silence instead of Spellfailure underwater

[athousandyearsofpain]

In the underwater-areas there is a spellfailure added to casters, at least it was last time I was down there.
Its to prevent them from casting while underwater I guess.
But what about if you have silent spell, should you not be able to cast underwater then?
Right now the spellfailure prevents you from doing so.

[The Crimson Magician]

It's probably likely that water slows the movement of your hands as well.

[Relinquish]

You can cast spells underwater despite the spellfailure, it isn't 100% spell failure.

[Egon the Monkey]

Bonus Egon Points for the first screeny of someone casting Drown underwater :P.

[lovethesuit]

Nah.

[Drakill Tannan]

But you can speak underwater...
And besides the penatly is not 100% Adeline used to summon things underwater.

[Ebok]

But you can speak underwater...

No, you cannot.

You could -try- in lue of holding your breath, but cant since you cant not holding your breath ic.

How can one speak underwater?


I'd like to know the secret.

[VanillaPudding]

Um, go under water and try it. That's my best suggestion!

[Ommadawn]

Just because you can mechanically talk under water doesn't mean you should.

[Drakill Tannan]

The point is, there is no reason why you couldn't chant a spell underwater, but it would be dificult to do so well.

And no, i didn't mean "talk" as tryping in NWN, in real life you CAN talk underwater.

[Crod Mondoon]

But, if given to long winded sentences, one tends to drown..

[Mort]

And no, i didn't mean "talk" as tryping in NWN, in real life you CAN talk underwater.

But you can't be heard so this is moot.

[Drakill Tannan]

Only by someone else who is underwater.

[Mort]

Uh? <_< In what world do you live in?
