As a GM, however, knowing how often players change their minds about what they want to do...it sounds like it could be a headache at the table constantly accounting for changing actions & changing initiatives based on what the current initiative count is and what they're changing their action to.In general, that's my main criticism of these sorts of "declare action in advance" initiative systems. Because players *are* going to change their minds, these systems increase the burden on the GM (who is typically tracking initiative in most games I've run or participated in).The "declare action in advance" systems I've seen seem to offer increased group participation in coming up with a plan at the cost of being less flexible (i.e. more cumbersome for the GM) when it comes to handling the players changing their minds. Which *is* going to come up, and likely come up a lot.Theoretically, I'm intrigued at the idea of a "declare action in advance" initiative system which DOESN'T come at the cost of increasing the GM's burden...probably through some innovative method of handling players changing their minds according to changing circumstances.</blockquote>
