Where are the rules for drowning?

RM2 has them in one of the later companions, I believe. But essentially, you have a number of rounds 12 plus Con bonus, or just Con bonus, and after that, you make maneuver rolls of progressing difficulty to avoid unconciousness.

Thanks for the pointer! I was able to find them in Companion VII. There's even a handy dandy critical hit chart.

Did it really take that long for ICE to realize that people in fantasy games sometimes drown???

It took long enough that I was just reading the home-brew rules I used way back. It appears they also never got to how fast you swim, or anything else.

Have a look at this thread too.  http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?topic=19470.0

You may find some of the info in there helpful as well.  There's info on drowning, suffocation, and death.
