But if not in combat until the point someone does something often occurs.One thing I don't like watching some DMs online is the rush to roll initiative when nothing has actually happened to indicate this has to be a combat encounter. THEN it seems to automatically become a combat encounter. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />I just keep asking who wants to do what. When there is a conflict or several creatures wanting to act, then I go for initiative... but this sounds worse than what I do in game too.I know what I mean. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> But you maybe right. Perhaps poorly worded advice. I understand the OP asking about this though, b/c DMs handle it differently.I might say the Solo passed is Perception check, so he was not surprised and then beat Greedo (and that all depends upon which movie you watch too <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" /> That scene was changed to show Greedo shooting first and missing too wasn't it? Perhaps Solo won even with disadvantage. Very hard to demonstrate with a movie eg as the dice can do anything here. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />).</blockquote>
