Freedom of Movement states:
The target can also spend 5 feet of movement to automatically escape from nonmagical restraints, such as manacles or a creature that has it grappled
The Rogue Scout can, through their Skirmisher Reaction:
You can move up to half your speed as a reaction when an enemy ends its turn within 5 feet of you. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
Can part of your Skirmish half your speed be the 5' from Freedom of Movement?
Best Answer
Yes. The ability to move granted by rogue scout is the same as the general ability to move on your turn
Speed versus movement
Just to clear things up for the rest of this answer, Jeremy Crawford has pithily stated the difference between the two in this tweet:
Freedom of movement on your turn
Let us look at how using freedom of movement works on your turn normally.
The PHB states a rule that allows you to, on your turn, move up to your speed:
Thus, a rule has granted the character the ability to move on their turn only.
And, then you could obviously use 5 feet of that movement to use this part of freedom of movement if you so desired on your turn:
Freedom of movement with skirmisher reaction on your opponent's turn
We established above that the general rules establish that you can only move on your turn. However, there are features that override that general rule such as Skirmisher Reaction:
Note the similarities between this specific rule:
and the general one:
Both these things are granting the exact same ability, the ability to move some distance, to the character, just under different conditions. There is no difference either specified or implied between the way in which either ability says "you can move" that would differentiate it from the other.
It makes no sense not to allow "spend movement" with skirmisher reaction
Even the language used supports the fact that you are able to "spend movement" with the movement granted to you by skirmisher reaction.
Freedom of movement says:
The general rule on speed says:
And skirmisher reaction says:
If even the description says all of these are "movement", why can you not spend them the same way: as movement?
If you do not allow the character to "spend movement" with skirmisher reaction then they also would not be able to stand up from prone, move while prone, or move accross difficult terrain in any way. None of which makes sense, since, again, there is no essential difference between the movement granted on your turn and the movement granted by skirmisher reaction.
Thus, if you can spend 5ft of movement for freedom of movement on your turn, there is no reason that you cannot do it as a reaction at the end of your enemy's turn with skirmisher reaction.
