[QUOTE="FourMonos, post: 5429301, member: 88601"] [sblock=ooc] I'll bite on this. Let me know if I get it right everyone. [MENTION=83014]ShadRS[/MENTION] Due to the time it takes to do everything in play by post, there has been an adopted way of doing combat in order to speed things up and let people post when they have the time. In the first round, the people who beat the bad guys/NPC's go first. Then all the NPC's act, then all the players act, even those that went first in the first round. It continues in that pattern, NPC's then PC's until combat is done. The players can act in any order during their turn, but when you post is when your action happens. So one round, if I post first, I go before my allies, but the next round I may go last. Some people wait a bit to see if the situation shifts or improves before they post. This is an adopted system from one of the very good DM's Mal Malenkirk. Everyone usually call's them "Mal's Combat Rules" or something like that. How'd I do? [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
