[QUOTE="Murazor, post: 2345757, member: 22982"] Yesterday we had a peculiar discussion about the benefits provided by the Freedom of Movement spell, and specifically regarding its use of underwater adventuring. It is quite unclear how it interacts with other types of movement, and what exactly is and is not possible with it. Two relevant parts from the spell are: [I]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.[/I] and [I]The spell also allows the subject to move and attack normally while underwater.[/I] What exactly does this mean with regards to other types of movement, and what exactly would the definition of "impedes movement" be? The two main problems we were discussing: 1) Would it be possible to use other movement types, besides your Land or Swim movement rates underwater (such as Fly)? 2) Does Freedom of Movement confer immunity to "external influences"; e.g. would it be possible to walk freely through a raging river and not be swept away in the stream? Personally, I think both answers to both questions should be no. Flying is only possible in the air, and I don't think your should become immune to hurricane winds or (even worse) Bull Rushes or Trips (as those definitely impede your ability to move normally). I'd like to hear some other opinions on this matter, so fire away. [/QUOTE]
