ok cool that makes sense. I might have the captain insist on a dive of d6 + 3 hours or something then, have everyone sweating the result; and make it a whole thing if someone wants to persuade him to curtail the dive. Thanks!
Got this through Exalted Funeral, and it's great; the writing, art, etc. all gorgeous and inspiring. Is there a good rule of thumb for how long, in-game, a dive takes—like, the demonstration/test dive for instance?
