Hi, I am new on the World of Poseidon (and on this list as well), and I need a little help about Cetacean Characters: - Others characters use Aquatics when they have to do something underwater, for example Dodging or just Swimming... -But what is the Skill to use for Cetacean ? not for swimming, I assume they have no need of a skill, but for dodging ? And if they have not this skill, humans seems to be better that a dolphin at this "game", and it is quite illogical... I really don't understand. I must say that English is not my native language but I'm not so bad (And I have already read this damned book two times !!) Could someone give me some explanations ? (I love this game where dolphins are a possible character, but I think that I have underestimate the difficulty to put them into play) Thanks in advance to take a few (seconds/minuts :-)) to answer....

It didn't make it through. Small attachments might get through but they munge the digest, so I'd discourage everyone from posting attachments.
