Then players/GM decide based on the fiction /gameplay/tactics who goes when on each slot available to them. Some characters can go twice in a row and some may not go at all if they are in a situation where letting others handle the issue at hand is best.Others I likeBlack Hack-any player who rolls under DEX goes before the opposition. No rolling for opposition.Tried Mearls' variant- I like. Players did not (of course not- players hate systems that make things harder for them- especially spellcasters)</blockquote>
