Re: Barbarian Fast Movement contradiction
I don't see the contradiction. It states that fast movement works in medium armor, and then gives examples.

On page 25 of the Player's handbook, under the heading Fast Movement for a barbarian:
1. 2nd sentence: "This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load."
2. 4th and 5th sentences: "For example, a human barbarian has a speed of 40 feet, rather than 30 feet, when wearing light or no armor. When wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, his speed drops to 30 feet."
3. 6th and 7th sentences: "A halfling barbarian has a speed of 30 feet, rather than 20 feet, in light or no armor. When wearing medium armor or carrying a medium load, his speed drops to 20 feet."
Summary: The examples in the 4-7th sentences contradict what is written as the rule in the second sentence.
