So, you mention in the OP you don't like the swingy d20, but when you go to smaller dice you get more ties.Here is an option I am just spit-balling:Use your DEX, INT, or WIS modifier (your choice) and roll a d6 for each point. Add them together to get your Initiative. This makes a character with good reflexes, quick thinking, or insightful to the situation/opponents more likely to act first.Certain conditions could penalize to aid your total number of dice. For instance, Alert could still add a flat +5 or maybe it adds a die? Each level of exhaustion could remove a die? And so on. At a minimum, you always have at least 1d6 to roll.Is that too complex?</blockquote>
