manual of water breathing
 

Do poor amphibian units benefit from mowb?
In other words will units fight like just on the surface or will they have disadvanteges? (I guess archers still wont shoot)

No.

They will have disadvantages. No firing of ranged weapons (there are rare exceptions) and non-amphibians underwater with the help of magic items will get -3 att, -3 def, +3 enc and -6 AP.

Poor amphibians are not affected by water breathing items.

All the items do is grant the "poor amphibian" trait to units that lack it.

Re: manual of water breathing
 

No. It's worse.

Poor amphibians get -3 att, -3 def, +1 enc and -4 AP

Units using water breathing items get:

-3 att, -3 def, +3 enc and -6 AP

You're right. Oddly they also get the "poor amphibian" icon.

Maybe there needs to be a "really bad amphibian" icon.

Terrible, hideous, back-alley, nickel-a-go amphibian.
