Contradictory information on this page vs the luck page[]

This page claims that Luck affects speed factor, while the Luck page claims that it affects initiative: which is it? In my understanding, the Luck page is the correct one.

There is no such thing as negative speed factor (I've extensively tested this in the past) and the speed factor page (correctly, cause I've also tested it) claims that speed factor 0 + positive Luck of 3 results in a character always acting as soon as possible in combat. So, if Luck isn't modifying the speed factor of 0 to be negative (cause there's no such thing as negative speed factor), then it must be influencing the initiative roll instead, otherwise it would simply have no effect on a character that already achieved speed factor 0.

With that in mind, are there any objections to removing the mention that Luck influences speed factor? And, like I mentioned at the start, the info on the two pages is contradictory which, by itself, is a problem, so one of the two pages needs to change. --TheWildestMage (talk) 04:28, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
