I just got around to working wiuth my Mithral-clad barbarian. When I apply the Haste Spell in the Buffs and Conditions page, his movement changes from 30ft (thanks for the earlier fix) to 50ft. I believe that the movement should be 60ft.
The Haste Spell adds "30ft to a maximum of the target's normal speed" - In this case, the normal would be 30ft, which would be the base 30, minus 10 for armor, and a +10 untyped bonus from fast movement.

    Hm. The question is when the penalty from armor gets applied. We are applying it after all the other effects - so your unarmored speed is 30 + 10 + 30 = 70, then with armor that gets reduced to 50.

    Barbarian's fast movement description says that it gets added first, but haste (and similar effects) do not say either way. If I was running a game, I'd just say add 30 because doing it the other way is annoying. but is that technically correct?

    will investigate further.

    Had debate on the topic with local Pathfinders. - Looks like 50 is correct when you take the armor movement penalties as being a ratio of total movement.

    This can be closed. :) Thanks for looking into it. The calculations are correct.
