When you say average though, do you mean you average the initiative bonuses and roll, or that you roll everyones' initiative separately and then average the sum of them all for each side? Something I have also been thinking at the moment, though I am not sure how to make an arithmetic rule that would produce the intuitive result in every situation, would be a sort of "majoritarian" system. The basic idea is that the side that goes first is the one whose majority of initiative scores are higher than the majority of the other team, even if the average is lower, strictly speaking. This is best illustrated by supposing on our side we have rolled something like: 20, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10. And their side has rolled: 11, 11. The average of the side with the one 20 and five 10s is 11 2/3, better than the side with the two 11s, but the 11s are better than five out of six of their opponents. So the 11s would be rewarded with going first.In any case, I would think to that no matter how we do it if we are averaging out we might as well just let you roll all of our initiatives for us.</blockquote>
