Exactly, dX is a "Rules-Lite" system, I can hold my breath for a minute and a half under stressless situations, I could do 30-45 underwater. Simple. I know this hasn't happened to most people but I've been choked out in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I've been completely winded (something that has happened to a lot of people) taking me somewhere between 15 seconds and a minute and a half (I smashed my head through the window while the car was doing somersaults so I can't remember that clearly) and I've choked on food on occasion. It's unpleasant while you're conscious and even more so after you wake up.

Incidentally, in the short space it has, Tri-Stat dX has the best Grappling rules I have ever seen in any game. Of course they're not much use to someone who can't actually grapple effectively themselves, but at least the rules let me do what I know would happen in real life, and it can be easily scaled upwards from that.
