Freedom of Movement interaction with spells

[Ovinomancer]

Just wondering, how does freedom of movement interact with other spells like fly and teleport. The discription of FoM say that you cannot be hindered by magical effects related to movement. Does this mean that casting Dimensional Anchor on someone under the influence of FoM doesn't prevent him from teleporting? If a character with FoM is in the effect of an entangle spell, can he fly out? Do these spells count as normal movement?

Flying is normal movement (you make move actions normally), but teleporting surely isn't, so dimensional anchor would still keep you from teleporting, etc.

What Thanee said.

What if Teleport was Normal movement for the creature? Like Blinking is to a Blonk dog. I know it uses a spell to describe it but for that creature it is "Normal"

If you have fly from a spell versus fly from wings which is Normal movement? Both?

I think Ovinomancer has something planned.

Normal movement is, if a movement speed is given under speed.

I'm pretty sure there are no creatures that have a listed teleport speed in D&D.

So then Thanee A creature with flight is different than one affected by a fly spell.

I think the problem lies in what is 'normal' movement for a creature/character. If the creature has a supernatural ability to perform a special type of movement, is this considered normal for that creature/character? A monk at high levels can dim door. Could that be considered normal for the monk? Along those lines, can a spellcaster's ability to cst movement spells be considered for normal movement? If a fly spell gives 'normal' movement, why not a teleport?

I would think that the intent of the spell would be to allow movement by normal or extraordinary routes, and discard all things supernatural/spell-like, but I think that it is a hazy area.

I think if it was at Will then it could be considered normal.

Ie a demon's Greater teleport is "normal for it" yeah its not listed in the movement rates but technically is under Spell-like abilities its movement speed of a standard action to activate.

A weird way to look at it.

I would probably go for the simplest answer. Freedom of movement description doesn't in any way hint at or give example for Teleports etc. So make it simple it doesn't affect those in any case.

Nope, the fly spell gives a flying speed.

Normal movement is just movement that has a listed speed, movement that is done by using the standard move action.

Wait; Fly gives the creature a flying speed that can be affected by other magic? While under the effects of Fly, flying is considered "normal movement"? Are you sure?
