Fix to Freedom of Movement

[Vyctor]

Freedom of Movement in PnP D&D also prevents things like grappling, tripping and other movement affecting actions from being successful against the warded individual. Any chance that DDO will incorporate that to have FoM prevent being tripped or crippled?

Actually it prevents grappling but I'm not quite sure in DnD that it prevents you from being tripped by the enemy. It does allow you to fight underwater freely as I recall but of course you need to be able to breath there too... that would be bloody nifty if we could fight underwater like the devils in the vale can

In DDO, FoM prevents crippling and grappling. It doesn't prevent tripping, nor should it.

Note that the D&D FoM spell is a game design flaw, and derivative games would do well to avoid slavish copying. A spell should not give total immunity to an attack form like that. A huge enhancment bonus on Escape Artist checks would have been fine. But Grapple-immunity is wrong. (Of course, DDO has no grappling so this is irrelevant)

You mean like EVERYTHING but PCs can. Any monster can and will fight underwater freely.

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times.

THIS is NOT D&D... THIS is DDO.

Home rules override everything else. Why? Because the GM says so... every time.
