[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 3622868, member: 12037"] Let me clarify a bit. There's a little bit concerning [i]freedom of movement[/i] hidden in a table and a footnote to said table on page 92 of the DMG. While swimming, you move at 1/4 speed. While walking along the bottom, you move at 1/2 speed. With [i]freedom of movement[/i] you can "move" at "normal" speed. Which of these movement modes (or maybe both) this is referring to is graciously left to the reader to infer. The FAQ seems to maybe say both, but then completely fails to mention [i]anything[/i] about full movement speed, leaving me still unsure of what its stance really is, except that you can still move "normally" underwater! This leaves me to wonder if the Sage didn't realize speeds were an issue at all and brings into question the whole thing for me. Because it reads to me like you swim and walk as per usual (1/4 speed and 1/2 speed) according to the FAQ when under the effect of [i]freedom of movement[/i]. I know I'm probably being cynical, and the question was asking something different, but that's kind of the crux of what the spell [i]does[/i], so to completely ignore it blows my mind. [/QUOTE]
