Question about swimming

[Questman]

How much constitution would I need to swim across a typical 25ish tile river without drowning?

Good question. You can almost make it 10 tiles with 10 constitution if I recall right, so call it 7 safely (if you can ever call any swimming safe). Figuring in the exponential curve, that should put it around 100 or so. (I'm assuming that the stamina drain has the same diminishing returns as everything else in game.)

It doesn't. The formula was changed entirely so I couldn't tell you what it is anymore but it's pretty darn safe to assume that you could swim 25 tiles with far less than 100 con.

I tried with con 12 i was able to safe swim 14 tiles.

Ummm maybe was CON 18, but was start game defly.

I figure it's more linear now, but I wanted to be on the safe side. That I'm aware, nobody has even tried to calculate it like they did back in w3.
