<p>I suppose it depends on how much you can afford to invest in the skill, and what the opportunity cost is of doing so.

<p>I've run and played a couple of underwater scenarios. They always make some provision for water breathing - they have to really otherwise they'd be very short adventures! But as Hj says, dealing with hampered movement and fighting ability is usually up to the players.</p>
<p>So I will most likely not bring Effie along. Without her gun she's a level 2 bard with more hp and excellent saving throws :o Making a gun work underwater costs 2000gp for a dryload powder horn that only works for bullets - so no free-action reloading - or around 4000gp for 50 +1 dryload cartridges. The latter option is very expensive at level 5/6, and Effie would rather spend 4kgp boosting her DEX with a magic belt.</p>
<p>I have a level 5 halfling bodyguard I could bring - Lucky Lee. He'd do ok. Or my level 7 tengu 'kraken brawler', Malachi Malarkey, who will be doing Bloodcove Blockade with this group. Mal would need to slow track. He's well suited to watery shenanigans.</p>re: faction card goals, Effie checks a box for having at least 5 ranks in Diplomacy.
