Difficult Terrain

Difficult Terrain

Difficult Terrain is any space that hampers movement, such as rubble, dense vegetation, deep snow, deep water, or a steep slope.

• Every foot of movement through Difficult Terrain costs 1 extra foot. Moving 5 feet through it costs 10 feet of your Speed.
• This cost isn't cumulative: a space either is or isn't Difficult Terrain, no matter how many qualifying features it contains.
• A space is also Difficult Terrain if another creature occupies it, whether that creature is hostile or friendly.

The extra cost stacks only with the cost of certain types of movement, not with itself. For example, if you Climb, Crawl, or Swim through Difficult Terrain, each foot costs 1 extra foot for the movement type plus 1 extra foot for the terrain.
