Spell Description
You touch a willing creature. For the duration, the target’s movement is unaffected by difficult terrain, and spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the target’s speed nor cause the target to be paralyzed or restrained.
The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled. Finally, being underwater imposes no penalties on the target’s movement or attacks.
Is Freedom of Movement Good?
Overall Rating: Orange. This means that freedom of movement is an OK spell.
Overall Notes: It’s nice to give extra movement options to allies, but there are better buff spells and this one is pretty situational.
