Swim is dex?

This seems odd. I've gone swimming, and I don't think finesse had anything to do with it. If you're going to change it, change it to constitution since it's more of a stamina think to keep swimming anyway.

I don't know, I've always thought strength was an odd choice for the swimming skill. I mean, the best swimmers in the world don't look like Arnold Swartzenegger; they're lean and very coordinated. Swimmers are strong, too, but in rpg terms, I can see where a designer would pick dex as the primary attribute. Constitution is also a good choice.

Although both Dex and Con might work, this is actually a small mistake. It should be Strength-based, just as it was. This will get fixed in the Skills chapter rework.
