[QUOTE="ThirdWizard, post: 3636616, member: 12037"] It's referencing "your speed." See below. The table defines Swim speeds, not walking speeds, unless it uses Footnote 3. No Footnote 3 is in use in the [i]freedom of movement[/i] row, so the movement is swimming movement. So, I'll try to explain my logic in a way that makes sense. Hopefully. I start with the row "Successful Swim check." We know how Swim checks work, so this is a good baseline to start off with. The column Movement says "quarter or half." Half being for a full round action spent swimming. Okay, so we know 1) It is defining swim speeds and 2) the "quarter" is meant to be read as 1/4 "your speed" (as per Swim skill). So for a human, that would be one quarter of 30, for a halfing one quarter of 20. So, I go to the [i]freedom of movement[/i] row. I still hold those two things to be true. So 1) it's defining a swim speed and 2) it is in reference to "your speed" (again as per the Swim skill). What is "your speed?" For a human its 30, for a halfing its 20, etc. Ergo, with [i]freedom of movement[/i], you can Swim at what is normally "your speed" where you would, without [i]freedom of movement[/i] swim at one quarter "your speed." Thus, a human swims at 30, a halfing at 20, etc. [/QUOTE]
