Yeah, understatement much?I'm not sure where you got the "actions vs Movement" Argument, I've never heard that one before, and you're using examples that don't appear in the book, so I must assume this is your own personal opinion, just as I have allready shared mine.Back to your first response If the subject 'moves and attacks normally for the duration of the spell' and THAT is the line that matters, then it WOULD make you immune to ANYTHING that would stop you from doing so, regardless of whether it does so by preventing actions, movement, etc.  Death prevents you from moving and acting normally.  So does unconsciousnes.  So does sleep.  So does dexterity damage.  So does wearing heavy armour, etc.  Many spells have the problem of mixing flavour text with rules text and this completely messes with the spell, as I believe is the case with Freedom of Movement.  I believe that the first sentence of the spell is a poor combination of flavour text (Enables you to move and attack normally" and rules text "Magic that impedes your movement such as..."*Edit: Also, this is my 6,666th post, just had to say that.  I may dissapear into a puff of smoke shortly, so if you don't hear from me soon.. SEND HELP!!! *L*</blockquote>
