Trust me, I write for a living. Affected vs. effected is one of the most common mistakes people make, and this is a fine example.

I was joking that both were valid uses, though completely different meanings.







Ergo, in the first case the "movement is not affected by terrain" would mean that the terrain does not produce a change upon the movement. The latter, "movement is not effected by terrain" would mean that the terrain does not cause the movement. I joked that naturally the terrain does not cause the movement since there are no moving terrain tiles in this game, making the statement "movement not effected by terrain" a valid statement, though admittedly not the statement that Jed had intended to make.

Well said Mist.

meh.. I get preachy/lecturing when it comes to that kind of stuff... I likely came off as an arrogant prick.. ah well I thought the joke was amusing, anyway
