Ring of Freedom of Movement question

[Mystery Man]

As the spell "freedom of movement"Does this include terrain and other obstacles or just magical effects?

 

[diaglo]

yes.

 

[Thanee]

Always good to answer "yes" on a "A or B" question.

The ring works just like the spell.

This gold ring allows the wearer to act as if continually under the effect of a freedom of movement spell.

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. The subject automatically succeeds on any grapple check made to resist a grapple attempt, as well as on grapple checks or Escape Artist checks made to escape a grapple or a pin. The spell also allows the subject to move and attack normally while underwater, even with slashing weapons such as axes and swords or with bludgeoning weapons such as flails, hammers, and maces, provided that the weapon is wielded in the hand rather than hurled. The freedom of movement spell does not, however, allow water breathing.

Does a Wall of Force qualify as "magic that usually impedes movement"?

No, neither does Otto's Irresistible Dance, Telekinesis or Reverse Gravity.

But I'd say that a wall of force is more likey to impede normal movement...

(Of course, I agree that a ring of freedom of movement has no effect)

 

[Thanee]

Yep, Freedom of Movement does not let one walk through obstacles.

would it let you slip out of handcuffs ?

No. And you're liable to get a few contrary answers to mine

 

[ARandomGod]

No. And you're liable to get a few contrary answers to mine

Yea, I'd actually give you a yes to slipping out of handcuffs/manacles/other bindings. But not out of a prison cell.

What's the difference, you ask?

Hrmm.
