[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5159583, member: 40413"] What's your objection to posting out of initiative order? I think requiring us to post in initiative order is really going to slow combats down something fierce. If it takes each of us a day to post our actions (and I know it won't always take that long but sometimes it could take longer) then a round is going to take a week (and I'm already chomping at the bit to get moving). If we posted in waves, pcs before the monsters, monsters, pcs after the monsters, then the round could be cut down to three days. This method isn't without its issues. For example, Sindri is going to cast [i]haste[/i] on his turn. If I can't post for a bit and everyone else posts before me then no one will have taken the effect of [i]haste[/i] into consideration. That puts the onus on you to add those extra attacks in those instances when the pcs would get one. It's not ideal but I think it more than makes up for it with the potential decrease in time for a round to occur. Also, those actions stated in the IC before you called for initiative... Are those considered first round or are they actions that were able to be gotten off before normal initiative? I think we kinda need to know what's going on with them and the results in some cases. (Does Angus get his crossbow shot off? Does Sindri get his [i]light[/i] cast? etc.) [/QUOTE]
