In the rule “Diving for Treasure”, replace the text “As a Daily Action, Fishing Contestants may increase or decrease their Depth by 1” with the following text:
As a Daily Action, a Fishing Contestant may increase or decrease their Depth by any positive amount known as the Depth Change, as long as the resulting Depth is within the legal range for that Fishing Contestant, but when they do, they must also decrease their Oxygen by twice the value of (Depth Change - 1).
and in the same rule, remove the text “If your Oxygen is below 0, increase your Madness by 2.” and after the text “their Oxygen is set to 20.” add the following text:
Whenever a Fishing Contestant’s Oxygen is changed, if it is below 0 after the change, that Fishing Contestant’s Madness is increased by 2.
and in the same rule, replace “it is the only action other than Sight Disturbances” with “it is the only action other than changing their Depth (along with any changes to Oxygen and Madness triggered by changing their Depth), Sight Disturbances,”
As Lukas pointed out, changing Depth by 1 per day is far too slow. This lets you change Depth faster per Daily Action, but the faster you go, the more risk you gain if you have less Oxygen when you perform Diving for Treasure and might get Breathe.
Desertfrog:
I wonder if there’s also a problem with the current diving rules:
(If a Fishing Contestant with a Depth greater than 0 has not already done so since the last Sight Disturbances, they may take the “Diving for Treasure” action,)
and it is the only action other than Sight Disturbances or Moving the Beast that they may take
Doesn’t this actually prevent you from changing your depth at all when diving?
