Freedom of Movement. ..spells and other magical effects can neither reduce the target’s speed nor cause the target to be paralyzed or restrained. Stunned. A stunned creature is incapacitated (see the condition), can't move, and can speak only falteringly. Specifically, my confusion is that the text says "reduce the target's speed".
As you have quoted, the freedom of movement stops spells and magical effects from reducing the targets speed. First, neither the haste spell nor its expiration reduces the target's speed. Second, by haste 's exact wording, not the spell, but its ending exhausts the target and the exhaustion removes the targets ability to move.
The text for Freedom of Movement specifically says that it can used to free the target from a grapple. This overrides any implications from the Grappled condition. This is a situation where a general rule (for the Grappled condition) is explicitly set aside by a specific rule (for the Freedom of Movement spell).
The main effects of being swallowed are the Blindness and Restrained conditions (check the description of "Bite" for the Kraken). While Freedom of Movement cannot counteract the blindness, it will make you free from restraint. From spell description: "For the Duration, the target's Movement is unaffected by difficult terrain, and Spells and ...
The spider ignores movement restrictions caused by webbing. The only other mentions I can find of webbing is in the web spell: Each creature that starts its turn in the webs or that enters them during its turn must make a Dexterity saving throw.
The answer to each of these questions is no, so the paralyzing effect of the grell's poison is not magical, and is therefore not prevented by Freedom of Movement. That being said, the spell is not totally useless against grells as it enables a victim to use 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from a grell's grapple.
Among other things, the Freedom of Movement spell prevents an affected creature from being restrained by spell effects: 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.
If you move up or down, every foot of movement costs an extra foot. Under the above interpretation, the up-down movement in the Ethereal plane satisfies the definition of difficult terrain: hence Freedom of movement allows to move at normal cost, per description. Nonetheless, a strict reading of the rules tells that moving up or down in the ...
Slow states: An affected target's speed is halved, it takes a −2 penalty to AC and Dexterity saving throws, and it can't use reactions. On its turn, it can use either an action or a bonus action, not both. There is nothing here that limits an effected creature only one of movement or an action, so they may do both, though speed is halved.
Scenario: A Kraken can use its Multi-attack to attack a creature with Freedom of Movement on it, cause the Grappled condition, then with it's next action Fling the Grappled creature. Can the creature with FoM prevent this Fling during the Kraken's turn by spending 5 of its next turn's (or last turn's "saved") movement to escape the grapple?
