====== Stay Afloat ======
{{tag>activity short_action}}

You attempt to keep your head above water while swimming or treading water.
**Roll+BOD**. You gain one instance of favour for each empty hand you have available to paddle or scull.

  * **Complete Success**:  You stay afloat effortlessly, regardless of water conditions or turbulence, so long as it is physically possible to do so.
  * **Success**:  You stay afloat in all but the most extreme conditions, such as a hurricane or tsunami.
  * **Partial Success**:  You stay afloat, but you struggle against the elements. You sink if there are heavy waves or high winds.
  * **Failure**:  You manage to stay above water only in calm conditions. You begin to sink if there are any waves at all.
  * **Complete Failure**:  You lose your rhythm and begin to sink immediately.

If you cannot keep yourself from sinking, then you risk [[ironbound:rules:air|drowning]].
