Versatility of non-ice water college spells

[Tenrath]

All great examples. Thank you!

The character does have a powered magic item that allows him to maintain body of water indefinitely. Separate but related question: the body of water meta trait does not lose ST or gain the no fine manipulators disadvantage. Would I still be able to wield a bow at full ST and/or don any armor that fell to the ground on cast?

Body of Water includes Invertebrate, and while that trait doesn't list a ST penality you only get 1/4 of your Basic Lift for lift, carry and pull. This gives a clear argument for also decreasing the effective ST for muscle powered weapon use, especially bows.

In my DF campaign, the Druid has high enough levels in both Breathe Water and Swim that he can maintain both spells on the entire party indefinitely! This allows for underwater adventures in which the PCs can be effective fighting sea monsters and such...
