Vow of Chains on a Dwarf


Rules Questions

Liberty's Edge

Vow of Chains: Either out of penitence or to bring
attention to the suffering of the enslaved, the monk wears
shackles on his wrists and legs. This gives the monk a –1
penalty on attack rolls and to AC, and reduces his movement
by 10 feet. If temporarily unable to wear his chains, he may
carry rocks or some other heavy burden (including medium
or heavy armor) to simulate this suffering. A monk with
this vow increasing his ki pool by 1 ki point for every 3
monk levels (minimum +1).

Slow and Steady: Dwarves have a base speed of 20 feet, but their speed is never modified by armor or encumbrance.

If a Dwarf monk took the vow of chains would he still have the reduction to his moment speed?

Yup. You aren't actually gaining encumbrance with the vow.
