Difficult Terrain

 Difficult Terrain halves the Movement Speed of creatures moving through it, requiring 2 m / 7 ft of movement to move 1 m / 3 ft through this type of area.

Examples of difficult terrain include:

•  Twisting Vines,  Web,  Spikes,  Mud,  Grease,  Ice,  Lava,  Deep Water and many other types of Surfaces.
• Non-surface areas created by spells such as  Hunger of Hadar.
• The overgrowth created by  Plant Growth uniquely quarters movement speed.

The extra expenditure for movement also applies to  Jumping. Furthermore, Weapon actions which require expending movement do not function while the character is affected by Difficult Terrain. These include  Brace (Ranged),  Brace (Melee), and  Prepare.
