I notice that pretty much all summoned creatures roll their own initiative and act accordingly. This makes sense in theory, and is very simple, but it's also kind of weird that if a summoned creature rolls a higher initiative than its summoner, it actually has to wait longer to take its turn than if it rolled lower.
Here are some possible fixes:
1) Summoned creatures always act on the summoner's turn instead of rolling initiative.
2) Summoned creatures roll initiative, but their initiative cannot be higher than the summoner.
3) Summoned creatures roll initiative, but don't act in the round they are summoned.
Which do you like best? Have another idea? Or do you think it's fine as-is?
