This lightweight, slippery garment is made of a material that feels wholly alien and strange, though not unpleasant. What exactly it is Jahlia will not say, other than to claim it was created in a distant land. It is actually made of three fibres: silk, spidersilk and rubber. By weaving the three together, Jahlia is able to create an incredibly thin, light, elastic fabric that conforms to the wearer’s body.

A watersuit has no particular benefits to the wearer on dry land, but once in the water, the wearer will notice a definitive effect on his ability to Swim. A watersuit allows the wearer to almost slice through the water, sliding through it with incredible ease. Wearing a watersuit grants a character a +2 circumstance bonus on all Swim skill checks, and increases his speed through the water by five, though a land-based creature cannot exceed his normal movement rate in the water, even with the use of this item.

Despite the tremendous quality of a watersuit’s construction, it is still a mundane item, and the benefits it provides are only applicable if no other clothing or armour is worn. Watersuits come in several different designs for men and women and can be dyed with a variety of colours.

Watersuit: 100 gp; 1 lb.
