D&D 3E/3.5 Freedom of Movement and Oak Body / Iron Body (3.5)

TremorFang

First Post
So the basic question is this. If I used the power Oak Body or Iron Body and a wizard cast freedom of movement touching and targeting me. Do I ignore the half speed rule of Oak Body / Iron Body?

Thanks to those that are willing to answer. :)

Freedom of Movement:
This spell enables you or a creature you touch to move and attack normally for the duration of the spell, even under the influence of magic that usually impedes movement, such as paralysis, solid fog, slow, and web. The subject automatically succeeds on any grapple check made to resist a grapple attempt, as well as on grapple checks or Escape Artist checks made to escape a grapple or a pin.
The spell also allows the subject to move and attack normally while underwater, even with slashing weapons such as axes and swords or with bludgeoning weapons such as flails, hammers, and maces, provided that the weapon is wielded in the hand rather than hurled. The freedom of movement spell does not, however, allow water breathing.
Oak Body:
You gain a +4 enhancement bonus to Strength, but you take a -2 penalty to Dexterity (to a minimum Dexterity score of 1), and your speed is reduced to half normal.
RAW maybe. I'd say not, judging by the examples.

The difference I see is that one's a status debuff, and the other one... isn't. The examples given are all debuffs.

Strictly RAW, I guess so, but I wouldn't be very confident in intepretation.

That why later materiel caught on to tricks like this. Hellfire warlock is one of the times the Game Devs were not caught sleeping at the wheel. You lose Con to get a boost. Find a way to get around the con loss and you lose the boost.
