[QUOTE="helium3, post: 2281654, member: 31301"] I would do away with the rules lawyering entirely (because this is precisely the thing that will bog a game down when it comes up in game) and simply say that the domain power allows you to have the full effects of Freedom of Movement for the duration described in the domain power description. Then you don't have to waste time arguing with your player/DM and splitting hairs about which kinds of movement inhibitions are affected and which are not. Please note that the duration of the spell itself is 10 min/level, so the domain is quite a bit less powerful than the spell. Also, it's not a domain power that's going to be used all the time. This is pretty much what we've done in our game, and its never been a problem. In fact, when the domain power was first used, I don't think we even noticed the hair splitting language about it only being useful for magical effects. [/QUOTE]
