DESCRIPTION

Drown causes the target creature’s lungs to instantly fill with water. The target suffers 1d3 points of constitution damage and begins drowning. A heal spell, or a DC 20 Heal check (performed by a creature other than the target himself), expels the water from the lungs and ends all drowning effects, but does not restore lost constitution. A water breathing spell will not remove the water from the creature’s lungs or restore lost constitution, but will allow them to resume breathing normally. A creature that makes their Fortitude save does not lose constitution or begin drowning, but will be sickened for 1 minute as they regurgitate the water.
