Freedom of Movement on a druid


Rules Questions


If a druid casts FoM on himself while wild shaped how would this scenario work:

Druid with FoM becomes an allosaurus, grapples his opponent with his bite attack. Does he gain the grappled condition or does he not due to FoM?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

It says, "All combat maneuver checks made to grapple the target automatically fail. The subject automatically succeeds on any combat maneuver checks and Escape Artist checks made to escape a grapple or a pin."
It does not say the target of the FoM is immune to the grappled condition.


Same as any creature with FoM, they aren't immune to the grappled condition, they are simply immune to being the target of a grapple maneuver and automatically succeed on any attempt to escape a grapple or pin


So does that mean if the enemy try'd to reverse the grapple and become the grappler they would automatically fail?

I'm not sure that this is explicitly clear, but I think that is a reasonable interpretation.


Quote:
If you are grappled, you can attempt to break the grapple as a standard action by making a combat maneuver check (DC equal to your opponent's CMD; this does not provoke an attack of opportunity) or Escape Artist check (with a DC equal to your opponent's CMD). If you succeed, you break the grapple and can act normally. Alternatively, if you succeed, you can become the grappler, grappling the other creature (meaning that the other creature cannot freely release the grapple without making a combat maneuver check, while you can).

Probably. It sounds like grapple-reverse is a CMB check to grapple a target. I think I'd rule that you can tell that someone is under FoM when you're touching them.

FoM isn't the most clearly written spell. (Does allow you to move at full speed through difficult terrain? Unknown.)
