Freedom of Movement

Freedom of Movement is a level 4 abjuration spell. It allows spellcasters to imbue an ally with the ability to avoid some slowing effects.

Description

Snap an ally out of any  Stun.  Difficult Terrain can't slow them down, and they can't be magically  Paralysed or  Restrained.

If the target is restrained by non-magical means, it can spend 1.5 m / 5 ft of Movement to free itself.

Condition: Freedom of Movement

 Freedom of Movement

Duration: Until Long rest

• The affected creature's Movement Speed cannot be reduced by Difficult Terrain, spells or magical effects.
• The affected creature cannot be  Paralysed or  Restrained.

How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 7: Bard, Cleric, Druid, War Domain (Domain Spell), Tempest Domain (Domain Spell), and Circle of the Land (Coast or Grassland)

Notes

• Freedom of Movement only ignores the additional movement cost of  Difficult Terrain. Secondary effects of terrain (such as falling  Prone on an  Ice surface or taking Lightning damage on an  Electrified Water surface) can still affect a party member who has Freedom of Movement.
• If cast by a Cleric or Druid who does not have Freedom of Movement as a Domain/Circle Spell, this spell must remain Prepared. Removing this spell from the caster's Prepared Spells list removes the buff from all party members whom the caster applied it to.

Bugs

• Despite the description, there is no function which allows an affected creature to spend 1.5 m / 5 ft of Movement to free itself from any effects.
