Hello! We're back with another Starfinder video -- Basics of Combat Part 1: Rounds, Initiative and Surprise
[video=youtube_share;eGqS8DlekJI]https://youtu.be/eGqS8DlekJI[/video]

This is the first part in a series of videos targeting those new to the hobby. In this segment we discuss how combat in Starfinder is organized in a series of Rounds and Turns, how Initiative dictates the order in which characters take their turns, and what happens when someone is taken by surprise.

In Part 2 of this series we will discuss how players can adjust their place in the Initiative Order by Delaying or Readying an Action.

[video=youtube_share;bawTae3r7TQ]https://youtu.be/bawTae3r7TQ[/video]

In our previous video we discussed how combat in D&D is structured with Rounds and Turns. And in part 2 of our Basics of Combat series we explore what a player can do when it is their turn -- take actions and bonus actions. What can you do on your turn beyond just stabbing someone? We look at concepts like Dashing, Disengaging, Hiding, and so on. This video also provides an overview of how Bonus Actions supplement your turn's activities.
