3557, In water/on water/on ground room flags
Posted by Opheamro on Wed 31-Dec-69 07:00 PM
Hi,

I think additional modifiers(%<something>) should be
added to prompt to allow people to see if they are in water,
on water or on the ground(and probably "in the air"
though it is less common condition)

Sometimes it is critical to know in which environment you are,
for example for gills/gills removal, water breathing
cast/recast, fly/no fly, drown/no drown, able to shapeshift
into water form/non-water form, specific water-sensetive
invoker spells, and so on. Other environment status modifiers
are there(indoor/outdoor, wilderness/civilized) so I think
this idea doesn't fall out of the general design line. 

From IC point of view, it is always obvious for the character
whether he is in water or not, and it is not clear why it is
necessary to make it so hard for the person to discover in
which environment his character is at the moment.

Thanks.
