And as I've said before: unbreathing *only* means unbreathing: no asphyxiation damage and immunity to mephitic cloud. It implies nothing about whether you can survive immersion in water. Swimming through water (merfolk) and walking through water (grey dracs) are separate qualities. In the case of grey dracs, unbreathing effectively works together with walking through water to explain why they sink to the bottom of the water without drowning, but that's it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
