The ring of free action does not remove the monk's (and presumably the barbarian's) innate movement speed bonus, but the potion of freedom is. This is different behavior from the ring of free action, which will remove bonuses to movement speed granted by items such as the boots of speed, but will not remove the innate speed bonus. If a monk drinks a potion of freedom, they become as slow as a normal class. Interestingly, if a monk is wearing a ring of free action and uses a potion of freedom, this does not occur, presumably because the free action effect is already present and is not overridden by the potion.

The removal of the innate speed bonus appears to not be permanent - once the potion wears off, the innate speed bonus returns.

This is fixed by the G3 BG2 Fixpack:

I have the G3 BG2 Fixpack installed and I'm still seeing the problem.
