Scope of underwater Affinity

[truegrit]

First off - so glad I found out about this game!

I'm considering a UDT character, and I was wondering how far Affinity goes in making your character comfortable in his/her environment. If I have dice in Affinity (Underwater), does that include being able to handle deep water pressure? Or would I have to purchase Hyperbody ranks?

Welcome to the forum.

You could take a look at Der Seefahrer for inspiration and ideas. I think you could find his stats in Will to Power.

Ah so there's an underwater character statted out already. Will to Power is on my to-buy list for next month. Thanks!

There is some information about him in the rulebook as well on page 140. But no stats.

It looks like they folded being able to handle water pressure into Der Seefahrer's Affinity: Water. I guess that makes sense. Since humans normally have "Affinity: atmosphere", as it were, we don't crumble under the everyday atmospheric pressure.
