Gaseous Waters

Primordial gasses can squeeze up from the bedrock under all kinds of bodies of water, bubbling up to explode in coughs of the planet’s birth that can knock creatures out or even kill outright. Every 1d20 minutes while traversing Gaseous Waters, a gas bubble rises up and breaks the surface of the water from a point within 15 feet. Creatures within 30 feet of a gas bubble make a Constitution saving throw or suffer from its effects (as per Table: Gaseous Waters).
