[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3851645, member: 29014"] (OOC: Ah, cool on last round then. But why would the Gauth get two consecutive turns? You're correct about the people who delayed/readied, which should mean that their init count was set to go the same time next round as before the Gauth went on this first round (in other words, the way initiative works in 3.x is that if you go before someone in one round, you always go before them in all future rounds unless you take another action to change initiative again). Think of it like a stack of index cards saying whose turn it is, and when the turn passes, you put the card at the bottom of the stack. The Gauth couldn't know to act until Stulgar charged and everyone moved in, right? If that's the case, then the Gauth must have delayed to be after Stulgar if it acted on surprise and its init was too high, or it must have simply acted first on round 2 if it had no way to act in round 1 Basically, in summary--the only way to get two consecutive turns in 3.5 is if your enemy is surprised, you act alone on the surprise round because all the enemies are surprised, and your init was very high; you don't reroll init after the surprise round, instead you use the init you already rolled on the surprise round.)
