Freedom of Movement vs Reverse Gravity

[Matrix Dragon]

This issue is probably going to come up in one of my games soon, so I need to figure this out: Does the Freedom of Movement spell protect against Reverse Gravity?

The purpose of Freedom of Movement seems to be to make the person it is cast upon immune to movement affecting spells. However, one of my players believes that gravity spells work around effects of Freedom of Movement.

I'm leaning towards saying FoM does NOT protect against gravity spells since it doesn't protect against bull rushes, and you can sort of picture gravity as simply pulling/pushing the character rather than trying to hold or slow him. Still, has there been any official word on this?

I'm thinking the spells don't interact at all. FoM doesn't change how a character is affected by normal gravity (or protect him from falling damage, or even from being knocked prone), why would it if gravity was pulling in a different direction?

Freedom of Movement doesn't affect forced movement like Reverse Gravity and as you indicated, Bull Rush.

It protects against effects that IMPEDE movement, "Impede" being the operative word, hence the capitals.

I agree, FoM shouldn't help you against reverse gravity.

Alright, seems like everyone is in agreement. Thanks all!
