Is Initiative Considered an Ability Check?

[ourchair]

This was the most awesome debate ever.

Am I missing something? Have some people got Mengu on their ignore list? Otherwise I can't work out why they would post statements that were contradictory to Mengu's clear quotation of the specific rule from the core rule book.

Huh, I didn't know that before. Good to know. I guess an initiative check is a kind of Dex check the same way that a jump check is a kind of Athletics check.

And that means that the Character Builder is due for a bug report - it doesn't affect your initiative modifier when you equip Gloves of Agility.

Huh. The sun also rose today.
